For Authors
By partnering with tastemakers, Bindery is able to surface important new voices the industry has overlooked—and launch books with the attention they deserve. Everyone gets to focus on what they do best: Authors write, tastemakers promote.
2x Industry-standard Earnings
Bindery offers a $10k advance and 50% of net royalties. In dollars, as compared to a traditional deal, this equates to 2x standard per-book earnings for authors. We believe that when a book sells well, the author should be the one to benefit most.
A Comprehensive Approach
Bindery’s books are created at Girl Friday Productions, a packager for traditional publishers and indies alike since 2006. Our books are distributed in retail channels in partnership with Two Rivers, an Ingram brand, and have traditional sales representation nationwide.
A Launch Partnership
Partnering with tastemakers to bring a book out relieves authors of the pressure to build their own platform, and puts the full strength of the tastemakers’ reach behind their book when it releases.
