Yours could be the first on the shelf
Upload a manuscript and a cover to start.
New on Imprint
The shelf is empty for now. Publish yours and take one of the first places.
Read something a publisher said no to.
Every book on Imprint is here because its author chose to publish it. Nobody filtered it for the market first. You buy a paperback, it is printed for you, and most of the profit goes to the person who wrote it.
Book clubs with the author in the room
Start a club around any book on Imprint. Authors can join the discussion and answer questions themselves.
A yearly prize that readers decide
Once a year, readers vote for the best new book on Imprint. The winner gets a cash prize and a month at the top of this page.
