How it works

From manuscript to a book people can buy

Design your cover

Build the cover in the cover designer, upload your own, or hire a cover artist from our Author Services directory.

Publish & get paid

Your book goes on sale in the Triumvirate bookstore. Each order is printed and shipped for you, and your royalties are paid out to your bank.

The money

One simple split. No guessing.

You choose the retail price. When a printed copy sells, the cost to print and ship it comes off, then our 5% platform fee and the card processing fee. Everything left is yours.

Sell an eBook and you keep 90%. Already have printed copies? Our consignment program stocks them in the store and pays you 80% of every sale.

Questions

Before you start

Does it cost anything to publish?

No. There is no setup fee and nothing to pay up front. We only take the 5% platform fee when a copy sells.

Who prints and ships my book?

Each order is printed on demand by our print partner and shipped straight to the reader. You never handle stock.

How do I get paid?

Connect your bank once through Stripe in your Launchpad. Royalties from each sale are held briefly while the order ships, then paid out.

Can I publish under a pen name?

Yes. Verify your real name once, privately, and then publish any book under one of your pen names.

I need an editor or a cover designer.

Browse the Author Services directory, or start a cover project with an artist right inside Triumvirate.
