Where publishers lose revenue
A publisher depends on bookshops and distributors who take most of the margin and provide no information about who is buying. Readers searching for an author or a subject find international retailers instead. Digital editions are an obvious additional format that many publishers never sell. Submissions arrive by email in unmanageable volume, and rights enquiries from abroad go unanswered for weeks.
What we build for a publisher
First, a catalogue searchable by author, genre and subject, since that is how readers look and where discovery currently fails entirely. Second, direct sales with delivery, which recovers the margin that distribution takes on every copy. Third, digital and audio editions sold directly, a format with no printing cost that most publishers ignore. Fourth, structured submissions handling and a rights page, so manuscripts are manageable and foreign publishers can find licensing terms without an email chain.
