Everything The Writers Publications Does
Write, design, publish, distribute, sell and grow an audience — every step a traditional publisher handles, now under your own control.
Writing
Built for long-form work, not blog posts. Your draft is structured the way a published book is.
Continuous editing across cover, title page, copyright, dedication, parts and chapters — all the standard literary sections, plus your own.
Group chapters into Parts for novels, anthologies, or non-fiction. Custom sections supported.
Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough with keyboard shortcuts (Cmd/Ctrl + B, I, U).
Insert images directly into chapters — perfect for illustrated fiction and non-fiction.
Drop a .docx file. We auto-map your styles (Title, Heading 1, etc.) and preserve inline formatting.
Your work is saved automatically every 3 seconds of inactivity. Never lose a sentence.
Cover & metadata
Every detail a real publisher would care about — handled in the editor.
Position artwork with precision, layer typography, preview the live render. WYSIWYG with a shared renderer used in shop, EPUB and sharing.
Automatic 1:1.6 ratio enforcement, JPEG conversion, under 3MB — exactly what retailers require.
Multi-genre support including Romantasy and Crime, plus audience themes and per-book language.
14 standardized warnings across 4 categories (violence, sexual content, mental health, substances) with an amber advisory banner in Reader Mode.
Industry-standard BISAC subject codes and per-format ISBN management (ebook, print).
Group books into series with decimal ordering (0.5 for prequels). Hierarchical TOC and relative reading order.
Publishing
Share early. Sell when ready. Republish anytime — your old metadata is remembered.
Share work-in-progress with the community. Get reviews, ratings and AI feedback before you commit to a final version.
Seven-step launch: Format → Preview → Pricing → Details → Warnings → Confirm → Distribute. EPUB generation is free on your own books.
Standards-compliant EPUB built from your manuscript and stored securely. Re-download anytime.
Free industry-standard XML packages for partner portals like Publit, IngramSpark and Draft2Digital.

Feedback

One rating and one written review per reader, per book.
Authors can respond once per review — keeps the conversation focused.
Editorial-style synthesis of all reviews so authors see patterns, not just stars.
Readers can report illegal content, copyright violations, spam, harassment or other issues.
Sales & ownership

Live earnings dashboard with transaction history per book and payout requests on demand.
You keep 85% of every sale. We earn only when you earn.
EU VAT handled automatically at checkout — no spreadsheets, no surprises.

Capture emails from your reader pages and manage your list at /subscribers.
Recruit early readers per book with public application pages — no account required for applicants.
Approved early readers receive a magic link by email and can read instantly.
Application received, approval, and deadline reminders — sent on a schedule, branded for you.
The Collective
Editors, illustrators, translators — all in-platform, with escrow protection.
Hire vetted editors, illustrators, translators and assessors directly from the editor.
Pay your editor through escrow — funds released only when work is delivered.
Vetted illustrators with portfolios, hourly rates and specializations.
All communication stays on the platform — no emails, phone numbers or external links.
Funds held safely until both parties agree the work is delivered.
Trust & safety
A safe platform for serious writers, with transparent rules and human oversight.
Any reader can report content. Admins triage from a single moderation panel.
Admin, Moderator, Trusted Writer, Professional and User roles with proper access control.
Bell icon with unread badges in the navbar. Notifications for moderation, approvals, ARC events and reviews.
