For publishers
A publishing house in a box — with the box already unpacked.
Curated Word hosts independent presses end to end. You bring the editorial judgement; the platform brings everything that normally takes five vendors, three spreadsheets and an accountant.
Your catalogue, your identity
Books carry YOUR name as publisher of record — your imprints, your ISBN pool, your brand. Your storefront runs on a Curated Word subdomain or your own domain, with your colours and logo.
Submissions and signing
List your press in the publisher directory, take author submissions into your own review queue, message authors, and send publication offers they accept online — contract PDF included.
Production built in
Manuscript editing tools, professional EPUB and print-ready PDF output, cover composition, ONIX feeds and distribution packaging — production is part of the platform, not an outsourced step.
Earnings to the cent
Every sale splits automatically at your commission terms and lands in a real double-entry ledger. An earnings view shows exactly what you are owed, reconciled against the platform accounts.
Events and audience
Run ticketed launches and readings paid straight to your own Stripe account, at your agreed commission. Book clubs, bookstores and the shared storefront bring the readers.
Members and roles
Invite your team. Owners manage; members operate the catalogue. Platform staff never need access to your day-to-day.
