Step 03
Upload your files

Add formats later
Start with one edition and add print, ebook, or audiobook formats when they are ready.
03
Publish on your terms
BookMarket is non-exclusive, so you remain free to sell your work elsewhere.
Questions
Before you publish
How long does publishing take?
If your files are ready, setup can take about an hour. Review times vary; Studio Unlimited submissions are typically reviewed in under 12 hours.
Can I publish only an ebook first?
Yes. You can launch one format now and add print or audiobook editions later.
Can I make changes after publishing?
Yes. You can update book information, prices, and files from your author dashboard.
Does BookMarket edit my manuscript?
Publishing review is not copyediting. If your manuscript needs editorial work, use a separate editing service before uploading the final file.
