The publishing industry is broken.
Why wait on them?
Sell your book directly to the people who already want it.
How it works
How gimmebook works
You bring the book. We give you a real storefront for it.
- 01
Spin up your store.
Upload and EPUB or audio file. Set your price. We build your store page and a clean URL with your name on it.
- 02
Share the link.
Drop it in your bio, your newsletter, a text, your group chat, your podcast notes. The link unfurls wherever you paste it.
- 03
Keep the relationship and the cash.
Readers buy directly from you. If they opt in, they join your list. Payouts hit your bank in 8 days.
Get Invited

Everything Amazon won't give you
Higher royalties at any price, your reader emails, and real sales data.
• 70% royalty at any price point
• Opt-in reader emails for your list

Why gimmebook?
Hi, I'm J. Curtis, an author who also runs the small press, Tiny Worlds Publishing.
After years watching online platforms strip author earnings and contact with readers I decided to do something about it.
So I built gimmebook.
It's a simple idea: one link, your price, direct to your readers.
Try the demo. You'll see how the delivery system works (it's pretty nice) and get a few stories for free.
Then, get on the waitlist. We're rolling out soon.
What formats can I download?
<p>Ebooks are delivered as EPUB; audiobooks as MP3 or M4B. All files are DRM-Free. We believe that when you buy something, you own it. The available formats appear on your purchase email and on the download page.</p>
Can I read this on my Kindle?
Yes. EPUB files can be sent to your Kindle using the "Send to Kindle" option on the download page, or opened in Calibre to convert them for any reader.
How long is my download link valid?
Your download link is valid for 30 days or up to 5 downloads.
What if I lost my download link?
Visit the purchases page and enter the email you used at checkout. We will send you a fresh link to view all your purchases and re-download your files.
