Draft2Digital gives you a fast, easy way to self-publish.
We’ll handle the formatting and distribution. You set the price of your books, get monthly payments, and see daily reports of your book sales. We make it all work with always available self-service tools and dedicated author support staff. Draft2Digital has no up-front fees. We make a percentage of each of your books’ sales, so we don’t get paid unless you get paid, and authors keep 100% of their rights.
If you’ve already published your book directly to online stores (directly to Amazon) or through another aggregate distributor, you can still use Draft2Digital to expand your reach even further and simplify your project management for the sales channels you choose.
There’s no upfront cost and no risk to you. When you sign up for an account, we’ll need a couple of basic pieces of information:
Our interface is easy to use, so getting set up only takes a couple of minutes. Forget trying to learn the quirks of each sales outlet and duplicating your effort across multiple websites. We give you one simple place where you can get it all done and make changes at any time, free of charge.
All you need to get started is a Word document (.doc or .docx format), RTF, or any other file type Word can read. We don’t have a style guide or any special formatting requirements.
Our conversion process creates a beautiful epub, which you are allowed to download and use at your discretion.
If you have an expertly formatted epub of your own, that’s cool too. We won’t make any formatting changes; we’ll gladly distribute your book to any of our digital stores on your behalf.
The process really is this easy, and our Author Support team is here to help if you have questions.
Draft2Digital will get your book listed just as fast as going direct, and we support some of the largest sales channels:
Instead of maintaining author profiles, sales descriptions, book versions, prices, and series titles on each of all of those different store websites, we give you one easy place to maintain your book information and make updates.
Turning any of the sales channels on or off is as easy as clicking a checkbox. If you’d like to see support for a sales channel not mentioned above, let us know through our Contact Us form.
Draft2Digital will automatically assign a free ISBN to any book published through our system unless you provide one of your own. It’s a free service we provide because ISBNs allow us to distribute your book to more vendors, and you don’t have to forfeit any of your rights. That’s good for you and good for us!
If you already have the sales details ready for your next release (most importantly a firm release date), you can even set up preorders through Draft2Digital for all of our most popular sales channels. It’s a great way to build interest and boost your sales rank on release day.
When you publish a book, you'll enter a Digital Book Price (in US dollars). The list price is up to you!
We will direct our digital stores to sell your book at the list price you provided.
Want to list your book for free? No problem. Choose a list price of $0.00 on the publishing page, and we'll make it happen.
If you decide to change your book’s price at any time (either temporarily or for good), just go back into our portal and make your adjustment. We’ll ensure that information gets updated with all of your vendors.
Draft2Digital can also create paperbacks for any books generated through our conversion service (that is, everything except pre-formatted epub uploads). D2D Print is a Print on Demand (POD) service where your published book will be listed as in-stock through online booksellers; and, when your reader purchases your book, only then will it be printed and shipped. There's no need to worry about inventory, stock, or stock returns.
To help you plan your print book price, try the Print Price Calculator. The numbers presented on the calculator are estimates and actual costs and royalties may vary, but you can expect to make about 45% of the list price of your book minus the printing cost.
D2D continues to partner with Findaway Voices, a division of Spotify, for audiobook distribution. If you have a complete and edited audiobook, you can sign up to Findaway Voices through Draft2Digital to easily transfer the metadata for your book(s) and access the world's largest audiobook distribution network.
Our goal is to take the headache out of publishing your book and managing it once it’s out there. We give you one easy place to take care of business and track your success.
