The best way for book publishers to get a great website

Customized e-commerce websites that save time, present books beautifully, and increase sales.

Find out how to get yours

Find your readers

“Our new website is geared to how our readers actually think about and search for books. We’ve seen major gains in sales and a lot of customers are doing deep dives into our backlist.”

– Arsenal Pulp Press

Your website should be a discovery engine that makes your books more visible and easier for readers to find.

You know what makes your books special and how they should show. And your website is the one place where you get to decide exactly how to do that.

This is your chance to open up new ways for authors, funders, retailers, and especially readers to discover the great work you are publishing every season.

Sell more books

"The improvement in sales has been staggering. In the first year, we saw a 300% increase in total online sales numbers. I’m happy to report that that number has only increased."

– University Press of Mississippi

Sell print and digital editions directly, to readers, educators, librarians, and more. Build a highly efficient sales channel where you determine the terms of sale and discounts, avoid returns, and fill orders more easily than you would have ever guessed.

Based on actual sales performance for ReaderBound sites, a client will, on average, fully recover the initial build cost of their new site in equivalent online sales within the first eight months after launch. 

 

Spend your time wisely

“I was so sick of duplicating work for our old website." – Playwrights Canada Press

"We avoided training new people on our old site because it was difficult to learn the system. ReaderBound is quick and easy." – University of Michigan Press

Say goodbye to creating title or author pages by hand or spending your days on routine tasks on your website. ReaderBound sites are built around smart automations that save a ton of staff time.

Daily imports of title information for both ONIX and custom data feeds; full control of your site content through an easy-to-use content system; smart integrations with email systems, distributors, social channels, and so on; and lots more. 

Just imagine what you could do with the time you get back.
