Publish and sell

Publish and sell your ebook, audiobook, and paperback from one branded book page. Storybase creates your author profile and online store so readers have one place to find your books. You can also publish translated editions to reach readers in other languages.

See who your readers are

See the names and emails of readers who choose to share their contact details with you. Track how many people read or listen, when they're active, and their total reading time, so you can see the audience your book is reaching.

Help readers get started

Let anyone sample your first three chapters for free, and invite people to help share your book when it launches. As readers explore your ideas, they can ask an AI assistant questions and get answers drawn from your book.

Everything in Free, plus:
Share it on your terms

Give readers free access to your whole book or selected chapters, and choose how long that access lasts. Add a form with your own questions to a share link, or send advance copies to reviewers before publication. Use your own web address for your online store and courses.

Go deeper with readers

Create a course that goes with your book, with videos and quizzes. Give listeners questions to explore with your audiobook's AI assistant. Put a QR code in your printed book so readers can join your course and share their email. Add buttons linking to your website, community, coaching, or other next step.

Understand and follow up

See which chapters readers reach, what they highlight, what they ask your book's AI, and where they stop. Let AI draft a series of emails timed to their reading progress, set up automatic follow-ups, or send a one-time email to your audience. Organize readers into groups, download your contact list, or connect it to Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, or GoHighLevel.

Also includes: Order printed copies of your book at wholesale prices.
