How quickly can I start earning money?

Many authors start earning within their first few weeks. Once you create an account, you can set up your first event immediately and start accepting bookings.

Do I need technical skills to use the platform?

Not at all! Our AI-powered event builder is designed for authors, not tech experts. You can create professional events in just 5 minutes, and our support team is always ready to help.

You can create book signings, readings, launch parties, workshops, virtual events, multi-author collaborations, and more. Our platform supports both in-person and virtual events with flexible pricing options. You can host at existing venues, request new venues, or mark location as TBD.

How do venue requests work?

If your preferred venue isn't listed, you can submit a venue request with details like name, location, and contact info. We'll work to add them to our platform, or you can proceed with a TBD location and finalize details later.

Payments are processed securely through Stripe and deposited directly into your bank account. You can choose daily, weekly, or monthly payouts, and funds are typically available within 2 business days.
