PaperbackAuthor is the world's easiest e-book publishing platform for novelists.

Publishing your novel as an e-book has never been easier. PaperbackAuthor is the online editing suite for novelists.

Write your story, then export it as a well formatted ePub, PDF, or Kindle file. You can then submit them to your favourite online bookstores, like Amazon or SmashWords.

We've stripped away everything that gets in the way of storytelling. As a result, we've created an editing suite you'll love to use. We should know: we're writers too, and we made it for ourselves.
