Pre-orders & print runs

Print Runs

Pre-orders for books, run by Bookend.

Print Runs are pre-order campaigns for upcoming books — Kickstarter, but built specifically for publishing and run by Bookend. Authors raise their print run, readers reserve their copies, and the book gets made together.

How a Print Run works

Every Print Run follows the same three steps — application to launch.

draft

Apply

Tell us about your book and the run you'd like to do. We work with you on scope, timeline, and what makes your book worth pre-ordering.

construction

Build

Together we shape the campaign — cover, tiers, story, milestones. Your Bookend goes live with a pre-order page that's ready for readers.

rocket_launch

Launch

The Print Run opens. Readers reserve copies, you hit your goal, and the book gets made. Backers get the first copies, signed and tracked.

Run a print run

Currently available by application only

If you're interested in running a pre-order campaign for your book, please get in touch. Tell us a little about the book and the run you'd like to do, and we'll be back in touch.
