Our goal is to empower creative, knowledgeable writers; we want to enable people to publish their stories in an affordable and environmentally responsible way.
What We Do
Bookmundo is the one-stop shop for any aspiring author. Our publishing platform lets you effortlessly create, print, publish, and sell your book online, all from one easy-to-use interface.
We have various useful features and tools available to help you both during the publishing process and when promoting your book. We aim to help all writers who want to become authors achieve that goal in an affordable, accessible, and environmentally friendly way.
Publishing made easy and accessible
Bookmundo provides you with all the tools you’ll need to publish, promote and sell your book/e-book. As soon as you’ve created an account, you can start the book creation process.
Our platform will guide you through the publication steps, ensuring your book gets off to the best possible start. You’ll be able to print your book before publishing to check your final draft–we offer high-quality print-on-demand services, and can also arrange offset printing for larger quantities.
Once you’re happy with your book, you can publish it with a click. When published, your book will also be available for purchase via all the sales channels you selected during the publishing process.
Your book belongs to you
Here at Bookmundo, we think authors should always retain full control of their work. Not just the copyright, mind you, but the retail price, the publication format, and the distribution channels as well.
That’s why we don’t bother with contracts or exclusivity clauses, or any other kind of red tape, for that matter. You decide what to upload, when to publish, and how much your book costs.
This also means you can publish your book through us while still pursuing other publishing opportunities. If Bookmundo isn’t your cup of tea, feel free to unpublish your book and explore other publishing options. No hard feelings–we’d love to hear your thoughts if you decide to move on!
Minimising waste & environmental impact
Paper waste is a serious problem. While we aren’t a publisher in the traditional sense, we acknowledge that we are part of that industry, and how that contributes to the problem. Therefore, minimising paper waste is incredibly important to us.
That’s why we utilise print-on-demand technology to produce your books; that way, we only print as many books as you’re selling. This enables us to save tonnes of paper every year that would otherwise be sitting in a warehouse somewhere. It also cuts down on the transport emissions that would have been caused by driving all those unread books around.
In addition, all the paper used in our books is FSC-certified. Fortunately, this is fairly standard in the industry at this point. We don’t settle for anything less, and you shouldn’t either!
There’s more to a company’s sustainability than the products or services it produces of course, and if you’ve come this far, we assume you’re interested in this stuff, so let’s get into it!
First off, our office is completely digital. We don’t print out memos, resumes, or any other documents. We don’t even have a printer. Is this enough? No. There’s always more we could do. And there could be things that we’re actually doing wrong without realising it. Our digital office, for instance, sounds nice on paper (pun very much intended). But how sustainable is it really? Emails, cloud storage, and ebooks all have an effect on the environment. This isn’t as well-documented as we would like it to be. We think we’re doing the right thing, based on the knowledge we have, and we do our best to be transparent about it.
We’re always looking to become more knowledgeable and transparent, however. So, if you want to discuss sustainability with us—be it to complain, offer suggestions, or just chat—shoot us an email!
Selling your books, your way
We provide authors with various methods for selling their books. Firstly, you can buy your book at attractive discounted rates (including volume discounts starting from orders of 3 copies or more) and sell it to your readers.
You’ll also be able to sell your book via the Bookmundo webshop, along with several other major online retailers, including Amazon and Kobo. You’ll also have the option to sell books directly to readers using social media and your website. The margins, especially when selling your books directly to readers, are sizable compared to what you’d get publishing your book traditionally, as we’ve removed the middlemen from the equation.
Insights into your sales
Bookmundo provides all authors with a handy dashboard, which provides sales statistics for each activated sales channel, along with information about royalty payments and overall earnings. This allows you to keep an eye on how your books are doing and tweak your sales tactics if needed. Royalties are paid every month.
We’re here to help
Our support team is always on standby to guide you through the process of publishing and selling. We understand how important your book is to you, and we’re eager to help you create something you can be proud of.

What We Think
Writing is fundamental to the human condition.
Literary agents are not infallible judges of quality.
Creativity should not be regulated by corporate interests.
Authors should keep all legal rights to their work.
Publishing should be an affordable service for all writers.
