Publisher info

Bard and Book Publishing represents an incredible new vision for connecting publishers, authors, and readers. How does it work? Those who subscribe to our reader community get access to every creative piece our authors generate, for as long as the reader maintains his membership- at no additional cost to them! The authors in turn receive the vast majority of the funds received by subscribers, allowing the readers to directly support writers. Moreover, the authors receive a share of all the revenue that the publisher receives, as well. There is no better publishing model in the market today for authors.

The readers make out well, too. Not only do they receive 5-10 new short stories or poems each month and every 3-5 months the latest novel one of our authors has completed. That’s less then a dollar per book! Beat that! But we’re not done: in many cases, readers get to ‘watch’ as the stories are actually written, providing feedback throughout the process. For example, an author may make available installments of novels that they are writing and solicit comments.

Readers get exclusive access to the authors in ‘member area’ only sections of the site and instant access to every work that has been produced by the author, past and present. Depending on the subscription plan the reader chooses, the reader may also get one or more soft or hard cover editions of BBP’s books, again, at no further cost to them, but also making sure that BBP isn’t a collection of ‘starving artists’!
