Ce que fait Booktrope
** NO LONGER IN BUSINESS ** Booktrope is reinventing the way books are published. We are not a self-publishing operation. What does that mean? At Booktrope we do not charge authors to publish nor do we accept all submissions. We have pioneered a concept called “Team Publishing” which addresses the way books are actually developed, not just the way they are distributed and read. We offer print, ebook, and web versions of all our books, in other words, we are format agnostic. We don’t want to debate the death of print books, or the birth of ebooks, we love and support them all. A typical Publishing Team consists of an author, editor, designer and business/marketing manager for the book. You don’t get assigned projects in our system; you choose the people you work with. We work much more quickly than traditional publishers, taking advantage of new technologies to streamline the process of getting books into the hands of readers. Lastly, we use that same technology to keep overhead low, and we think that the bulk of the revenue from book sales should go back to the creative team that makes them happen.

Booktrope
Software platform for collaborative book publishing
We built a platform that makes it easy for authors, editors, designers, and marketing managers to form teams and publish books together. Our software coordinates the entire book development process from manuscript editing to design and marketing, supporting print, ebook, and web formats without charging authors upfront.
We live and work primarily in Seattle, WA, with a remote team. After YC, the company would remain based in Seattle with continued remote collaboration.
Seattle is where the founding team is located and where we have built most of the product and team. The tech talent and creative community here support our work well. We also have established remote contributors, which fits our model.
