January 2026 Sales Report: Full Transparency

Last year we made a commitment to show up with more transparency around sales at Unsolicited Press. Not just highlights. Not just curated wins. The full picture. This monthly report is part of keeping that promise. Because our books sell through multiple ecosystems, these numbers reflect combined units sold across direct website sales, distributors, ebook platforms, and retail channels. Each platform reports revenue differently, so this report focuses on the clearest shared metric: quantity sold.

Below is the complete January 2026 sales breakdown.

What These Numbers Reflect

These totals combine:

• Direct reader purchases from our website

• Bookstore and distributor orders

• Ebook platform sales

• Library and aggregator movement

• Amazon KDP activity

Some books thrive in retail spaces. Others move primarily through digital platforms or direct reader support. Seeing all of these streams together gives a more honest view of how small press publishing actually functions.

Why Share This Publicly?

Transparency is not about competition or comparison. It is about context.

A book selling ten copies in a month might not look dramatic from the outside, but for an independent press it often represents sustained discovery through libraries, indie bookstores, and reader recommendations. These are long-tail ecosystems. Growth happens in layers.

Sharing the full list matters because every title contributes to the life of this press, not just the highest sellers.

Thank You

Every preorder, every direct purchase, every request through a local bookstore helps keep independent literature alive. When you support small press publishing, you are not just buying a book. You are investing in an ecosystem built on risk, experimentation, and community.

More transparency reports will follow each month.
