Create Your Listings

All you need is an ISBN. Our guided setup makes it easy to list one or many titles with detailed rights metadata: language, territory, format, etc. Custom author and publisher pages highlight credentials, awards, sales, and more.

For Authors

  • List your book without needing agency representation.
  • Build a polished listing that buyers can immediately act on.

For Publishers

  • Upload multiple titles with ease.
  • Manage listings across catalogs.

For Agents

  • Feature clients’ titles in curated portfolios.
  • Use professional listings to supplement active scouting.

Expand Global Discoverability

Listings are continuously discoverable via our advanced search, powered by RightsRank — an algorithm that ensures quality listings rise to the top. Books are browsable by region, genre, format, and more. Buyers can search without logging in or create an account to receive personalized pitches.
