Questions

What does it cost?

Joining and listing are free. We take 5% of book sales and 15% of bookings; you keep the rest.

When do I get paid?

After the buyer confirms delivery or the event — or automatically 14 days later. Stripe then pays out to your bank.

What if a school cancels last minute?

If they cancel less than 7 days before the event, you're still paid.

Can I refer other authors?

Yes — earn 2% of every sale they make for 12 months.
