Create your own store.
Sell directly to readers.
Keep your royalties.

Global Print-on-Demand

With printers in the USA, Europe, UK, Australia and beyond. Every order is fulfilled from the facility closest to your reader.

Instant Sales Notifications

Track sales in real time and see exactly who your readers are—insights retailers never share.

Daily Royalty Payouts

Receive your funds daily–not quarterly–to a bank account of your choice.

A different approach to publishing.

Books.by isn't a marketplace, or a distributor. It's a purpose-built storefront, like Shopify, that lets you sell directly to readers, own the customer relationship, manage your own business, and operate with complete transparency.
