“I have no interest in giving away half my royalties for the ‘privilege’ of being one of millions of listings on Amazon or Barnes & Noble. gimmebook puts its authors first. We get more attention, we get more control over our marketing, and we don’t get gouged in the process.”

“I’ve been independently published for more than a decade. Sharing a huge chunk of royalties, navigating complicated publishing procedures, and not having access to my own readers: this is the reality of publishing on behemoth platforms. gimmebook changed all of that!”

“As an indy author I’m always looking for ways to market and sell my books that are streamlined and user-friendly. I’m so happy I found gimmebook. Account set-up was quick, I uploaded my files and covers, set my prices and my store was live. I can link from anywhere and I’m getting more sales. gimmebook is just what I needed.”

FROM THE FOUNDER

I was tired of being someone else’s inventory. So I built the way forward.

Hi, I’m J. Curtis. I’m an author. After years watching big platforms take the cut and own the reader, I built gimmebook.

THE CURRENT MESS

Most authors piece together some version of Shopify + BookFunnel + TaxJar.

That’s well over $600/year before you’ve sold anything. gimmebook does it all in one dashboard.

WHY GIMMEBOOK
