Have you been thinking about publishing something? It’s great if you’re a writer, but what if you aren’t? That’s where Bindery comes in. As an influencer, you get to read through proposed manuscripts and pick the ones you like best to be published and funded by you. Bindery calls these people Tastemakers and they get their own micro communities on the website.

Essentially, only paid subscribers can access these micro communities so they can follow their favorite influencers and see what they like to read. Bindery has plenty of options to make your community more enticing for followers like author livestreams, early copies of the books, and sometimes the ability to be featured in the book’s acknowledgements. 

So, what’s in it for the Tastemakers? Well, they get 50% of their monthly subscription fees and 25% of the book’s earnings. Plus, it links to other, previously published books they’ve talked about, and they can keep all of the affiliate revenue. For authors, Bindery gives you a $10,000 advance and 50% of royalties. That’s a pretty great deal all around!
