Is This For You?

Built for authors who are done playing by someone else's rules.

This IS for you if…

  • You've written a book and want to keep more than 35% of what it earns
  • You want your own branded storefront, not a page buried on Amazon
  • You write in multiple formats — EPUB, PDF, audiobook — and want to sell all of them
  • You're tired of waiting 60 days for a royalty report
  • You want to publish here AND on other platforms simultaneously

This is NOT for you if…

  • You want someone else to market your book for you
  • You're looking for a vanity press or publishing package
  • You're not ready to own your author business
  • You prefer platform dependency over creative freedom

"If the left column sounds like you — you're home."

The Reality

You write the book.
Someone else keeps the money.

65%

Fees + Cut

AuthorSovereignty was built so that never happens to you again.

What Is AuthorSovereignty

Your own bookstore. Your own brand. Your own terms.

AuthorSovereignty is a direct-to-reader publishing platform for independent authors who are done letting platforms decide what their work is worth.

Your Own Branded Storefront

A professional author page that looks like a $500/hr designer built it. Custom colors, cover gallery, bio, and direct buy buttons — all yours.

Direct Sales, Full Price

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.

You Own Everything

No exclusivity clauses. No lock-in. Publish here and on Amazon simultaneously. Your rights stay yours — always.

Founding Authors

Built by an author. For 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.
