Authors typically keep 77–87% of the US list price.
The calculator is live. Drag the price: list, card fees, our 10% of net, what you take home. 90% of net is the split after processing. It is not 90% of the cover price. US sales; tax is not in this number.

What we publish
One line, drawn around harm — not around opinions.
We’re a place to learn things, which requires arguments people disagree with. We don’t screen for viewpoint. We screen for content that hurts readers, and every decision is explained and can be appealed.
Not accepted
Rejected at screening, with the specific reason.
- ✕Sexual content. No erotica or sexual depiction.
- ✕Graphic violence. Gore and cruelty written to be enjoyed.
- ✕Incitement and dehumanization. Calls to violence, or framing a group as less than human.
- ✕Dangerous instructions. Weapons, synthesis, exploitation of real systems.
- ✕Harmful false claims. Medical and safety advice that gets people hurt.
- ✕Harassment. Content targeting a private individual.
Welcome here
Including the parts other platforms hedge on.
- ✓Political and religious argument. Make your case. Disagreement isn't a violation.
- ✓Difficult history. War and atrocity examined rather than savored.
- ✓Heterodox ideas. Minority positions in science, economics, philosophy.
- ✓Technical work. Security research, medicine, and law for practitioners.
- ✓Translation and reissue. Work you hold the rights to, in any language.
- ✓Short work. A 40-page monograph is a book here.
AI-assisted books are welcome, and labeled
Disclose it; we show that label to readers. Same royalty, same shelf, same rules. Disclosure is the requirement. The tool you used is not a mark against you.
Publish the thing you keep meaning to publish.
Free to start. Keep your rights, keep your files, keep 77–87% of the US list. Unpublishing takes one click and no email thread.
