ShelfPublisher Reviews & Product Details

ShelfPublisher is a self-publishing platform that publishes your finished paperback as a publisher title: with an ISBN from the publisher's own block, under the imprint of a publishing house with more than 1,000 titles, and listed in the wholesale catalogs that more than 50,000 bookstores in 18 countries order from, Amazon included. You upload a finished interior PDF and cover; the team reviews both, assigns the ISBN, registers the book with the bibliographic directories and orders print on demand. There are no printing costs, no stock and no ISBN to buy. One publishing slot costs 35 euros for one book and down to 20 euros per book in larger packages. The copyright stays with the author. Access is by request, and every request is reviewed. How it works: request access, buy a publishing slot, upload interior and cover, and the book is published with its ISBN. The price covers the review of interior and cover, the ISBN, registration with the bibliographic directories, publication under the publisher's imprint, listing in the wholesale catalogs, print on demand, quarterly sales statements and the author portal. Editing, proofreading, cover design, translation and marketing are not included.
