AuthorSovereignty is the independent author platform where you publish on your terms, sell directly to readers, and keep what you earn.
No contracts. No exclusivity. No middleman. Just you, your books, and your readers.
Is This For You?
"If the left column sounds like you — you're home."
The Reality
Amazon KDP keeps up to 65% of every sale
Traditional publishing takes 85% or more
Most author platforms charge fees AND take a cut
AuthorSovereignty was built so that never happens to you again.
What Is AuthorSovereignty
AuthorSovereignty is a direct-to-reader publishing platform for independent authors who are done letting platforms decide what their work is worth.
A professional author page that looks like a $500/hr designer built it. Custom colors, cover gallery, bio, and direct buy buttons — all yours.
Sell EPUB, PDF, audiobook, and print editions directly to readers. No retailer markup. No platform cut beyond your plan fee. You set the price. You keep the difference.
No exclusivity clauses. No lock-in. Publish here and on Amazon simultaneously. Your rights stay yours — always.

Founding Authors
AuthorSovereignty was founded because the publishing industry was designed to benefit everyone except the person who actually wrote the book. We built the platform we wished existed — where your name is on the cover AND on the check.
"28 books. Every genre. One platform. AuthorSovereignty is where my readers come to own my work directly — no middleman, no markup, no compromise."
