Author FAQ

Everything you need to know about publishing, pricing, earnings, and growing your readership on Booklyverse.

How do I become an author on Booklyverse?

Sign in to your account and go to Settings to enable your author profile. Once enabled, you can access the Author Dashboard to create and publish books.

Is there a cost to publish?

No upfront costs. Booklyverse takes a 20% platform fee from each sale, so you only pay when you earn. You keep 80% of every sale.

How do I create a new book?

From your Author Dashboard, click "New Book". Add your title, description, cover image, genres, and set your price. Then add chapters using our built-in editor.

What file types can I upload for covers?

Upload JPG, PNG, or WebP images up to 5MB. We recommend a 2:3 aspect ratio (e.g., 800×1200 pixels) for best display across the platform.

How do I write and edit chapters?

Use the built-in chapter editor with formatting tools for bold, italic, headers, and more. Your work auto-saves as a draft. You can reorder, edit, or delete chapters anytime before publishing.

Can I offer my book for free?

Yes! When creating a book, toggle "Free Book" and readers can claim it directly to their library at no cost.

What are free preview chapters?

You can set how many chapters readers can sample before purchasing. This helps readers decide if they want to buy the full book.

How does the review process work?

When you submit a book for publication, our team reviews it to ensure it meets content guidelines. Most reviews complete within 24-48 hours.

Can I update my book after publishing?

Yes! You can edit chapters, update your cover, change pricing, and modify book details. Changes go live after a brief review.

How do I set my book price?

Set any price from $0.99 upward. Consider your book length, genre norms, and audience when pricing. You can adjust prices anytime.

What are book bundles?

Bundles let you sell multiple books together at a discount. Create bundles from your Author Dashboard to encourage readers to buy more.

How much do I earn per sale?

You earn 80% of each sale. For a $10 book, you receive $8. The 20% platform fee covers payment processing, hosting, and platform services.

How do payouts work?

Complete your payout setup in Settings → Payouts. Once you reach the $10 minimum threshold, you can request a payout. Funds arrive in 3-5 business days.

When can I request a payout?

You can request a payout anytime once your available balance reaches $10 and your payout account is configured.

How do refunds affect my earnings?

If a reader receives a refund, your share of that sale is deducted from your available balance or future earnings. You're never required to pay out of pocket.

What analytics are available?

Your Author Dashboard shows sales, revenue, reader engagement, chapter completion rates, and earnings history. You can also download reports.

Can I see who bought my books?

For privacy, we don't share buyer identities. You can see transaction amounts, dates, and aggregate statistics about your readership.

What is the book embed feature?

Generate embed codes to showcase your books on your personal website or blog. When readers click through and purchase, the sale is tracked to your account.

Can I schedule a book release?

Yes! Set a future publish date when submitting your book. Readers can see the upcoming release and you can build anticipation.
