For authors

Readers come for the book. They stay for you.

Publish your ebook, audiobook, and print edition. Then turn every reader into a relationship you actually own — and a path to whatever you're really building.

A sale is a transaction. A reader is a relationship.

Someone just gave your ideas six hours of their attention. That is the most qualified audience you will ever have — and almost every platform hands you a number instead of a person.

A retail sale gives you

A units-sold figure in someone else's dashboard. No name. No email. No way to reach the reader who just finished your book, and no idea what they wanted next.

A Storybase reader gives you

Their name, their email, the book that brought them in, and where they are in it — plus a next step you choose. A call, a community, an event, a cause. Yours to keep, export, and build on.

Book

Start with the book.

One upload becomes every format your readers actually use — produced for you, approved by you.

Ebook and audiobook

Upload a manuscript or a finished EPUB. Storybase produces the ebook, turns your text into an audio-ready script, and narrates it with a voice you pick from more than ninety.

How publishing works

Print, on demand

A designed interior and a print-ready cover wrap, printed and shipped when someone orders. No minimums, no garage full of boxes.

Covers that hold up anywhere

Art direction, AI-generated art, and full control of every layer — so your cover works at thumbnail size on a phone and full size on a shelf.

Translated editions

Publish your book in other languages — ebook and audiobook — each with its own in-language page, so a new market gets a real front door.

About translations
Bridge

Then build the bridge.

This is the part a bookstore will never do for you: every way a reader touches your book becomes 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 a preview, a full copy, 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 get it free — on a page you control, with your colors, your copy, and the next step you actually want readers to take.

Capture

Every reader becomes a contact.

Name, email, and what they came for — captured the moment they get access, organized into groups you can act on, and synced out to GoHighLevel, Mailchimp, or ActiveCampaign.

Your readers are already out there. Go get their names.

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.

Ambassadors

Turn your most engaged readers into a membership — comped seats or paid, your call. They get your books and a toolkit for sharing them. Storybase takes none of that revenue.

Campaigns

Run a launch with your people: a goal, bonus tiers worth earning, a leaderboard, and a clear view of who actually moved the needle.

Your audience, organized

A built-in CRM for readers — groups, segments, and automated follow-up that moves someone from finishing chapter twelve to booking a call.

Insights that mean something

Not just copies sold. Who read, how far they got, which share brought them in, and which offer they took.

A new way to use your book

Most readers move on when the book ends. Storybase changes that.

  • Bring your print, audio, and ebook together into one connected platform built to keep momentum going
  • Capture reader names, emails, responses, and chapter-by-chapter engagement
  • Turn readers into clients, subscribers, followers, repeat customers, and ambassadors

Reach

Put your book in more hands.

  • Share your full book or individual chapters from your phone in seconds
  • Create discounts, giveaways, and custom offers for different audiences, events, and campaigns
  • Promote your book with premium landing pages using your own branding and domain
  • Ask custom questions when readers get access so you can learn who they are and what matters to them

Engage

Keep readers ridiculously engaged.

  • Let readers move seamlessly between audio and ebook, or read and listen in sync
  • Give readers an AI assistant trained on your book that can answer questions and unpack ideas
  • Build video courses, reflection questions, and quizzes directly into your chapters
  • Let readers highlight, take notes, and save AI conversations and course answers for later reflection
  • Let readers share standout chapters with friends and choose soundtracks that fit their mood

Activate

Turn attention into action.

  • Place calls to action directly inside the reading experience and guide readers toward their next step
  • Trigger email, text, and notification campaigns based on where each reader is in your book
  • Sync readers into your contacts and external CRM, along with the information they shared with you
  • See which chapters hold attention, where readers drop off, and where momentum is strongest

Multiply

Equip others to carry the message.

  • Equip your team to share your book from their phone in the middle of a conversation
  • Let partners, clients, and fans join your program, share your book, and earn commission
  • License your books and frameworks to organizations for training, education, and development

Questions, answered

No. If your book is already out, bring it — upload your existing EPUB or audiobook files and use Storybase for the sharing, offers, audience, and activation side. Plenty of authors start there.

No. Anything you share opens straight in the browser — no download, no account wall in the way. There's a native reader app for people who want the full reading and listening experience.

On Author Pro you keep 70% of every digital sale, paid to your own Stripe account. Free and Plus plans keep a smaller share — the full comparison is on the pricing page. Ambassador subscription revenue is different: Storybase takes 0% of it.

You do. Reader contacts live in your Storybase CRM, sync out to GoHighLevel, Mailchimp, or ActiveCampaign, and export whenever you want. That's the whole point of the platform.

Both. Every author gets the reader experience, the sharing, and the audience data. The activation tools go furthest for nonfiction authors building a business, a practice, or a movement around their ideas.

Create translated editions — ebook and audiobook — and each one gets its own page and funnel in that language, so a Spanish reader lands somewhere that feels built for them.
