Description
Publishizer serves as both a crowdfunding platform for books and a literary agency, connecting authors with potential publishers. To begin, authors create proposals for their books, while readers can pre-order copies, and publishers may indicate their interest in reaching out to authors. The process kicks off when authors pitch their book idea and activate their accounts, allowing them to draft each section of the proposal with guidance throughout the submission process. After the Publishizer team approves the submission, authors can log in to manually launch their pre-order campaign. It is the authors' responsibility to promote their campaigns through their email contacts, social media platforms, and professional networks to maximize pre-order sales. In addition, campaigns that gain traction are highlighted to the Publishizer audience through Reader's Picks, a curated weekly list of the most sought-after books. At the conclusion of the pre-order phase, Publishizer reaches out to publishers based on various factors, including the book's category, the quality of the proposal, and the number of pre-order copies sold. This comprehensive approach not only aids authors in funding their projects but also enhances their visibility to publishers. Ultimately, Publishizer aims to create a thriving ecosystem for both writers and readers alike.
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.
