For authors · free during the beta
Delivery, early copies, letters to your readers and a reading community, in one place instead of four subscriptions.
During the beta every author tool is unlocked. Nothing is charged, and no card is asked for.
What you get
Before release
Advance-copy campaigns that match readers to your genre. You approve each request. Reviews on a book still to come are held and go live on release day, and readers mark where they cross-posted.
Replaces an early copy site
Copies out
Hand a protected copy to your own readers with a link or a QR code, or send it to a list of addresses from a campaign. Read on Booklabria or as a watermarked download, every claim logged, every link revocable.
Replaces a delivery service
The weeks after
Write in your Journal and send the letter by email to the followers who ticked your box. Readers answer it in the comments. Your subscriber list is yours to export as a CSV, on every plan.
Replaces a newsletter tool
The conveniences
Four jobs in one place instead of four subscriptions.
Publish as many as you write, on every plan.
How a campaign works

Readers who like the genre are matched to it and ask for a copy. You approve each one.
On a book still to come they are held and go live together on release day. You see where each review was posted.

Every EPUB copy is watermarked to that copy and download links expire, so a leak can be traced. The Terms forbid sharing an early copy. These are the protections in place today.
No. We do not promise reviews, sales or a place in any store's ranking. You see how many readers started, finished and reviewed.
Yes, a free one. That is what lets you see real counts.
Yes, if you allow it. We email the watermarked EPUB to the Kindle address they set; you never see that address.
Readers subscribe by ticking one box that says you can export their address. Export them any time, on every plan.
A book climbs because people finished it and reviewed it. Placement is not for sale.
A reader's record counts reviews posted on time, never how kindly they rate.
Every EPUB copy carries a watermark tied to that reader's copy, a code and never their name. Readers choose how to read: in the browser, as a protected download, or on their own Kindle. You see how many started, finished and reviewed, never names.
All along
Readers who keep shelves, join reading circles and follow authors. They find your books by their taste, ask you questions on your page, and share your lines.

Their username, their note to you, how they have followed through on past copies, and what they did with this one (opened, downloaded, sent to a Kindle, reviewed). Never an email address unless the reader shares it with you.
Yes. During the beta every author tool is unlocked.
You do. What you create here stays yours. You give Booklabria only the license needed to host and display it to the audience you chose; the Terms say exactly what.
