Sell ebooks direct.
No 30-65% marketplace cut.
Fiction, non-fiction, guides, workbooks, PDFs — sold from your own storefront with instant delivery. Keep 100% of every sale (minus standard payment processing), own the reader's email, no marketplace deciding who gets to buy your book at what price.
Book marketplaces take 30-65% and never give you the reader.
You spent 12 months writing the book. The marketplace lists it, takes 30% (or 65% on the low tier — when your book is priced under $2.99 or over $9.99), controls your pricing, and refuses to tell you who bought it. Your book has 2,000 readers — you have 0 email addresses. Book #2 launches to strangers again. Direct means every reader becomes your reader, every launch compounds, and you keep 30-65% more per sale.
What direct saves on every ebook sale.
Same book. Same reader. Different platform economics. The gap widens with every copy.
100 copies at $9.99
Amazon 70% royalty tier (they take 30%) = you keep $699. At 35% royalty tier (they take 65%) = you keep $349. Direct = $970. Up to $621 more per 100 sales.
1,000 copies at $9.99
Amazon 70% royalty tier: keep $6,990. Amazon 35% royalty tier: keep $3,490. Direct: keep $9,700. Up to $6,210 more.
Higher-priced longform
Sell a $49 workbook, $79 course book, or $199 professional guide direct. Marketplaces often force pricing caps to hit royalty tiers.
1,000 reader list you own
Book #2 launches to 1,000 emails already in your list. Marketplace = start at zero, pay a promo to reach the same readers.
Every reader becomes your customer. Every launch compounds instead of restarting.
One storefront. Every book format.
Fiction, non-fiction, PDFs, workbooks, guides, audiobooks — every format works with the same instant-delivery flow.
Fiction & non-fiction
Novels, memoirs, essay collections, non-fiction books — sold as PDF or EPUB with instant download after purchase.
Guides & playbooks
$19-$99 practical guides, industry playbooks, how-to books — often priced higher than marketplace caps allow.
Workbooks & templates
Fillable PDFs, journal templates, workbook systems — high-margin companions to your main book.
Audiobooks
MP3 or ZIP of audio chapters — sold direct with instant download link. Bundle with the ebook for a premium tier.
Book bundles

See feature →Author subscriptions
Sell a monthly serialized chapter release, or a "reader club" membership — sold as recurring subscription. (Coming soon)
On a $19.99 ebook, you keep $19.
Compare with book marketplaces taking $6-$14 off the same sale — before they decide your book gets discounted.
Sell 500 ebooks at $19.99? Direct: keep ~$9,500. Amazon 70% royalty tier: keep ~$7,000. Amazon 35% royalty tier: keep ~$3,500. The direct path scales.
Every reader in your list. Ready for book #2.
The lost commission is a visible cost. The lost reader is an invisible one — and it's the bigger cost. Direct selling changes that.
Your reader list
Every buyer's email in your dashboard. Launch book #2 to your existing readers — no marketplace algorithm between you and them.
Your pricing power
Charge $29 for a professional guide. $99 for a workbook system. $199 for a bundled masterclass. No marketplace pricing tiers dictating your ceiling.
Your author domain
Sell on yourname.com/book-title. SEO equity, memorable URL, business-card material. Not lost inside a marketplace catalog.
Your book's discount schedule
Run a launch promo. A holiday sale. A "buy 2 get 3" bundle. No approval required, no marketplace deciding for you.
Your book's SEO
Every book page ranks under yourname.com. Backlinks, reviews, and search authority build on your domain — even if you delist elsewhere.
Portable business
Export book files, reader list, order history — anytime. No lock-in. Your author business is yours to move.
Retire the author's tool stack.
One storefront for the ebook, the audiobook, the workbook, and the reader list — instead of 5 tools and 3 marketplaces.
The author tool stack
A book marketplace for ebooks + a separate audiobook platform + Gumroad for workbooks + a website builder + an email tool for readers + a landing page tool for launches.
Six tools. Six commissions. Six data silos.
CreatorStore
Ebook + audiobook + workbook + bundle + reader list + launch landing pages — all in one dashboard, on your own domain.
One subscription. One dashboard. One reader view.
From manuscript to sold in one afternoon.
No marketplace approval process. No royalty tier gymnastics. No 60-90 day payout wait.
