e help writers and publishers sell books directly to fans. You can offer digital, paperback and hardback versions of your book to readers around the world from your own website and app. You set the price. You own all the intellectual property (IP). There is no exclusivity; you can offer your books on other platforms.
The revolutionary difference between our model and the traditional one of selling through Amazon or other big retailers is that you keep 75 per cent of the earnings for print and 90 per cent for digital. In the old print model, even the biggest publishers—once discounts, inventory costs and distribution are taken into account—make no more than 25 per cent of the cover price. Most small publishers and self-published authors make close to nothing. The economics of digital are worse. For example, for the vast majority of Kindle authors, bundling into ‘all-you-can-eat’ models means they see no earnings at all. In addition to receiving only a thin slice of revenue, payments take several months and you have no idea who bought your book.
On Stck, you collect your earnings every month; you know who bought your book, and you have their email address. This transparency is fundamental to building a long-term, sustainable model based on loyal readers. We take care of everything, including a world-class digital reading experience, payments, printing and shipping. There are no up-front or hidden fees; we charge a monthly subscription and a transaction fee (see our plans). You can start with a single chapter, a standalone book or your entire catalog.
