Description

Cambric serves as a desktop tool tailored for writers and independent publishers focused on creating text-oriented books. It features a chapter-centric manuscript editor and binder for organizing various components such as sections, chapters, and both front and back matter, all while providing a real-time preview of formatted print pages. Users have the ability to initiate a new project or import an existing DOCX manuscript, apply design templates for book interiors, and customize trim and layout settings, while also assessing typography, margins, chapter openings, page transitions, and other important elements prior to exporting their work. Additionally, Cambric allows for the generation of print-ready PDFs and adaptable EPUB 3 files from the same local project, including editable DOCX file outputs. This application is specifically designed for genres that utilize chapters, such as novels, memoirs, narrative nonfiction, and poetry, and is compatible with 64-bit versions of Windows and macOS. Authors maintain control of their project files on their local systems and can upload the finished products to their preferred publishing platforms, as Cambric itself does not engage in book distribution. In essence, Cambric streamlines the publishing process for writers seeking a comprehensive solution for their book formatting needs.

Description

ShelfPublisher is an online platform designed for authors who have finalized and print-ready paperback manuscripts. Once authors gain access, they can purchase a publishing slot for a single book and upload both the interior PDF and cover via the website. After Orbita Media conducts a review of the submitted files, it allocates an ISBN from its publisher block, publishes the approved titles under its own imprint, registers essential book metadata with bibliographic databases, and manages print-on-demand production along with wholesale catalog distribution that reaches over 50,000 bookstores across 18 countries. Retaining their copyright, authors receive 30% of the net revenue from each copy sold for single-slot titles, with some subscription options providing even greater revenue shares. Sales reports are provided on a quarterly basis, and each publishing slot is valid for a duration of 36 months. This service eliminates the need for a print run, inventory purchases, or additional fees for ISBNs, making it an accessible option for authors looking to publish their work. By simplifying the publishing process, ShelfPublisher empowers authors to focus on their writing while effectively managing the business aspects of book publishing.
