I don't know if your friend knows about book distribution, but I would not advise putting just anything there. You should have a company structure of some kind and a name for your publishing enterprise. See this post for more information: <a href="http://www.thebookdesigner.com/2009/12/how-to-create-your-publishing-company/#comments" rel="nofollow">How to Create, Register and List Your New Publishing Company</a> Hope that helps!

(I am a U.S. citizen currently living in China, where my husband is teaching in an international school). I am planning on shipping the books to the U.S. where I have a friend who has agreed to be my distributor. I am wondering what to put for "publisher" on the copyright page. Can I just put my own name? Or, can I make up any publishing name I please? I have not registered a company. Also, do I need to put my Hong Kong Address (I have a P.O. Box there). I do have a U.S. residence where my sister manages all of my mail and forwards on important mail to me. Or, should I put the address of my distributor? Thank you for any information you can give me on these two questions. I have written a children’s picture book which I am having printed in China.
