The platform

Publish the book. Keep the reader. Make the impact.

Book, bridge, impact — one platform for the whole arc. It produces the book, keeps the relationship, and points that audience at what you're actually building. Here is all of it, in the order it matters.

Three chapters, one platform.

A book is the highest-intent door an author has. Somebody just gave your ideas hours of their attention. Everything here exists to make that mean something.

Book

Start with the book.

One manuscript becomes every format a reader actually uses — produced for you, approved by you, before anything goes live.

Ebook

Upload a manuscript or a finished EPUB. Storybase produces the ebook and serves it in a reader built for long sessions — highlights, notes, bookmarks, your own type and theme, and it keeps working offline.

How publishing works
The Storybase audiobook player

Audiobook

Your text becomes an audio-ready script, narrated by a voice you pick from more than ninety. Review the pronunciations, listen chapter by chapter, and approve it before anyone else hears it.

Hear a sample

Covers

Art direction, generated art, and control of every layer — type, color, texture, the lot. Your cover has to work at thumbnail size on a phone and full size on a shelf, so it also wraps to a print-ready spine and back.

Print, on demand

Pick your typography, chapter openers, and style, and get a designed interior with a print-ready wrap. Printed and shipped when someone orders — no minimums, no boxes in the garage.

Translated editions

Publish the same book in Spanish, Portuguese, French, or German — ebook, audiobook, and an in-language page of its own — and verify every line in English, no second language required.

About translations
Also in this chapter
Book Writer

Not written yet? Draft a nonfiction book from your interviews and notes with the ghostwriting engine.

Photos in the audiobook

Drop images into the listening experience at the second they belong, held for as long as you say.

Endorsements

Collect blurbs from the people who vouch for you and show them on the book's page.

Bridge

Then keep the reader.

This is the part a bookstore will never do for you. Every way a reader touches your book turns into a relationship you keep.

Send

Give your book to anyone, instantly.

Text a link. They start reading or listening in the browser in seconds — nothing to install, no store account, no waiting. Send the first chapters free, the whole book, or a private price meant for one person.

Convert

A real page for your book, not a product listing.

Sample it, hear it, buy it, or claim it free — on a page you art-direct. Your type, your hero, the chapters you expose, and the call to action you actually want readers to take.

Ask

Ask your questions before you hand it over.

Put your own form on a share or an offer. Where they are, what they need, whether they want the call. The answers land on the reader's record, not in a spreadsheet you'll never open.

Capture

Every reader becomes a contact.

Name, email, and how far they got — captured the moment they get access, and yours to keep. Group them, export them, or sync them out to Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, or GoHighLevel.

Also in the bridge
Custom offers and bundles

Offers with their own price, video, bonuses, and deadline, each on its own page. Multi-book bundles when one title isn't the whole story.

Pre-release copies

Get the finished book to reviewers and your launch team before it's public. They read it in the app like anyone else, so they land in your audience too.

Storefront and custom domain

One page for everything you've published, with collections you curate — on your own domain.

QR codes in the paperback

A code in the printed book that drops a print reader into your course and hands you their email.

The relationship is the product. The book just opens the door.

Start free
Impact

Then make the impact you wrote it for.

The book was chapter one of a longer conversation. This is the machinery for what comes of it — your business, your clients, your audience, your career, your movement.

An ambassador's toolkit, showing referrals, sales, earnings, and a personal referral link

Ambassadors

Turn your most engaged readers into a membership — comped seats or paid subscriptions, your call. They get your books and a toolkit for sharing them, with commissions up to 40%. Storybase takes 0% of ambassador subscription revenue.

The next step, inside the book

Your message and your call to action sit right in the reading experience — book a call, join the community, come to the event — where the reader is already paying attention.

A reflection course inside the reader, with a video and a chapter quiz

Companion course

Attach videos and reflection quizzes to your chapters. A reader finishes chapter three and walks straight into the next thing you built, without leaving the book.

Start with your book

Campaigns

Rally your people around a launch, a seasonal promo, or an evergreen push. Everyone gets a tracked link they can share anywhere, the leaderboard updates as clicks and conversions land, and bonus tiers give them something worth earning.

Your audience, organized

A CRM built for readers: the full roster by name and email, groups and segments, broadcasts, and automated follow-up — an AI-built funnel timed to how far each reader got, or sequences you write yourself.

Own the reader list

Insights that mean something

Not just copies sold. Who read, how far they got, where they stopped, what they highlighted, what they asked your AI, which share brought them in, and which ambassador drove it.

50 / 60 / 70%of every digital sale is yours, by plan — paid out through Stripe, into your own account.
0%of your ambassador subscription revenue. Storybase doesn't touch it, on any plan.
Yours— the book, the finished files, the reader list, the relationships. Export any time.

For readers

The other half of the platform.

None of the above works unless readers actually want to be here. So the reading and listening experience is the product, not a delivery mechanism.

A chapter open in the Storybase ebook reader

Read

Highlights, notes, bookmarks, your own type and theme — and books you download stay readable with the plane in the air.

Listen

An audiobook player with speed control and playback that keeps going when the phone goes in a pocket. Reader Premium adds Soundtracks — instrumental scores under the listening.

The in-book AI assistant answering a question about the book by voice

Ask

An AI trained on the book itself, by voice or by typing. Ask what the author meant and get an answer drawn from the text — Premium readers can save it as a note.

Shared with you

Books arrive with a note from the author — free chapters, a full copy, a gift. Opened in the browser, no app required, though there's a reader app when you want one.

If you came looking for one job

Short, answer-first pages for the things authors already type.

For publishers and agencies

Running a roster, not a single book?

Publishers, imprints, and ghostwriting shops get the same platform with the roster wrapped around it: unlimited authors and titles in one catalog, per-book and per-author royalty splits with co-author shares, a production studio for client work, and delegated manager access so you can operate an author's account without owning their billing. Ambassador programs and campaigns run under the publisher too, billed on the publisher's own Stripe account.

Capture your audience, build your brand, and move readers to action.
