Publish your kettlebell book with IKU™

You wrote it. We publish it. IKU publishes kettlebell books by trainers, coaches and athletes under the IKU imprint — on KETTLEBELL MONSTER™ as a PDF, on Amazon as Kindle and print, on Apple Books, and in print through our own publishers outside Amazon.

A marketplace of kettlebell people only

On Amazon your kettlebell book sits next to everything else ever printed. On KETTLEBELL MONSTER™ it sits in front of people who already train with kettlebells, buy kettlebell books and follow kettlebell coaches. It is like the Amazon marketplace — but for kettlebell users only.

That audience already exists. You do not have to build it before your first sale.
