Book Pricing and Author Earnings

Author-Set Pricing:

When publishing a book, authors have full control over setting its price, allowing them to decide the value they believe reflects their work.

Platform Fee:

Our platform takes a fee between 5-20% on each sale made through our marketplace. This fee helps maintain platform quality and provides the resources needed to promote books and support authors.

Earnings and Withdrawals:

After each sale, the remaining 80-95% of the book’s price is added to the author’s dashboard and will be available for withdrawal after the refund period ends. In the author dashboard, under Orders & Finances you'll be able to see units sold, units returned and the funds you accumulated. Authors get 80-95% of the retail price for digital format and 80-95% of the retail price after deducting the printing costs which will be displayed in the publishing flow.

Refund Period

Locked Earnings:

To ensure security and provide a fair experience for readers, all earnings enter a locked refund period (45 days) immediately following a sale. Once this period ends, funds become accessible in the author’s dashboard for withdrawal. You can read more about the refund period and locked earnings in the corresponding article
