What authors can sell

What authors can sell through CreatorStore

Use the same store for books, audiobooks, coaching, manuscript reviews, courses, and live events. Each offer can have its own page, description, and price.

Books & audiobooks

Add ebooks and audiobooks as digital products. Upload the file, add the product details and price, and buyers receive the file after payment.

Companion courses

Use Digital Products for downloadable course materials or content delivered through a private link. For programs made up of multiple live sessions, use Session Packs.

1:1 book coaching

Offer 1:1 sessions for book strategy, chapter feedback, or publishing consultations. Clients choose an available time through your store, and sessions can run through Google Meet.

Manuscript reviews

Offer manuscript reviews, chapter feedback, query letter reviews, and other writing services as Custom Products. Describe what is included, set the price, and explain how the completed work will be delivered.

Author masterclasses

Run live book launches, writing workshops, Q&A sessions, and other online events. Set the schedule, participant availability, and access details.

Bundles

Combine books, audiobooks, course materials, sessions, or other products into a bundle and sell them as one offer.

Your reader list

Plan an author storefront around reader needs

An author site can support your existing publishing channels without claiming to replace retail distribution or print fulfillment.

Separate book formats

Explain whether an offer is an eBook download, a reading resource, or a consultation. List the supported file format and delivery details.

Give each title its own context

Add an accurate synopsis, intended readership, cover visual and details that help visitors choose.

Offer more than one entry point
