From the founder

Why I built gimmebook

Hi, I'm J. Curtis. I'm an author, and I run a small press called Tiny Worlds Publishing.

After years of watching online platforms strip authors of their earnings — and their contact with readers — I built gimmebook.

One link. Your price. Direct to your readers.

How it works

Upload. Share. Get paid.

Fiction, essays, poetry, tarot, cookbooks, an audiobook - if you wrote it, gimmebook gives you a way to sell it direct.

  1. 01

    Upload your book

    Select an EPUB or audio file. Set a price. We spin up a page.

  2. 02

    Share your link

    One URL, unfurls everywhere. Paste it in your bio, a newsletter, a text.

  3. 03

    Get paid.

    Readers tap, purchase and own the file. No surprise fees at checkout. Payouts hit your bank in 8 days.

FAQ

Common questions

I've seen platforms that let authors keep 100%. Is that legit?

Those add their fee to your reader's checkout and charge you a monthly subscription to unlock the 100%. We take our cut from your share, so your reader pays the clean price you set and there's no subscription. You keep a little less on paper and your reader keeps their trust in you.

Can gimmebooks be read on Kindle?

Yes — readers download an EPUB they can sideload to Kindle, or read in any e-reader app.

Can I sell any genre?

Any genre, any format. Fiction, nonfiction, poetry, audiobooks, zines. If it's legal, it's allowed.

Can I sell outside of the US?

We currently support US sales only with more regions coming.
