“A game changer for
the modern author”

It takes seconds to create a personal bookstore just like this, and start selling your own books.

You can upload your existing books, and sell them on a personal print-on-demand storefront like this.

Why do I need my own bookstore? You'll earn more, and you'll know your readers.

🙁 The old way

When you distribute through networks like Ingram or Amazon, you're the last priority.

❌ Bookstores take a 55% commission.
❌ It takes months to get paid.
❌ They hide your customers from you.

😀 The Books.by way

By becoming your own bookstore, you keep all of the profits, and see your customers.

100% of the royalties.
✅ You get paid daily.
✅ You see the names & emails of customers.

Earn more on every sale.

”I've tried all of the self-publishing platforms, but these days I send readers straight to my Books.by page. Those large bookstore fees stay in my pocket, and I can reinvest the earnings in selling more books.“

You'll enjoy instant sales notifications, and daily royalty payouts.

When a reader purchases your book, they're your customer—not ours. You'll receive real-time, transparent notifications for every sale, tracking details, a clear breakdown of your royalties, and an automatic bank payout on the day your book ships.

Choose your own retail price.

With the Books.by royalties calculator, you can select a retail price that maximizes your earnings.

See customer names, and email addresses.

This might sound radical, but it's normal in every other industry. These are your customers, not ours.

Update your book, anytime.

With on-demand inventory, and no bookstore listings to jump through, updating your book is as simple as clicking a button.

Royalties direct to your bank account.

Receive daily royalty deposits, on the day your books are dispatched to customers, to the account of your choice.

Fully print-on-demand, with global availability.

Books.by operates a global print-on-demand network that can print and ship your books directly to readers, almost anywhere in the world. You receive tracking notifications for every order, and can follow the process from order to delivery.

Upload your existing Amazon or Ingram books.

Uploading your book to Books.by is easy. We accept most major book sizes, and we even let you design your book cover in the web browser. Live previews, barcode placements and dynamic spine width calculators make the process a breeze.

Questions?
We've got answers.

Books.by authors are supported by real humans, Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm AEST via our support team in Australia.

Can I use Books.by in addition to Amazon?

Yes. If your book is already published with Amazon or another self-publisher, it is possible to also publish it with Books.by. There is no conflict or exclusivity. In fact, most Books.by authors are already publishing their books on Amazon, and choose to send customers to their Books.by link for higher earnings.

How much will I earn on my book?

You earn 100% of the sales proceeds after deducting the book printing and shipping costs. We show you a breakdown of costs when you select your retail price, so that you can forecast your earnings. The average Books.by author receives a 38% royalty.

How does Books.by make money?

Rather than take a commission on the sale of your book, we earn our income by charging a flat annual fee for the use of the Books.by platform. This allows us to invest in building more tools for authors, while affording you the margins to sell more books.

What countries is Books.by available in?

Books.by is available in the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. We have printing facilities all around the world (predominantly in the USA, Europe, UK and Australia), with international shipping options to provide global sales coverage.

We can't wait to see what you create with Books.by.

It's the first publishing platform made by authors, for authors. We think you're going to love it.
