Self-Publishing Platform for Independent Authors

StarScript is a creator-owned self-publishing platform for independent authors who want to build a sustainable writing career outside the traditional publishing or Amazon-only path. Publish books, novels, serialized fiction, poetry, and non-fiction directly to readers, build paid membership tiers around your work, and keep 95% of what you earn.

How authors build a career on StarScript

Set up your author profile, create a production for each book or series, upload manuscripts as EPUB or PDF, and publish. Add membership tiers for readers who want early chapters, exclusive extras, or direct access. Cross-link to other work you publish on the platform — audiobooks, illustrated editions, soundtrack compositions — so fans find everything you make in one place.

Tools authors actually need

95% revenue share. Among the most author- friendly splits in the industry — significantly above KDP, traditional royalty rates, and most aggregator platforms.
Own your reader list. Followers and tier subscribers belong to you, not to a marketplace. No exclusivity, no platform-locked email list, no algorithm filtering who sees your launches.
Membership tiers per series or per author.Recurring income from your most committed readers, paid in USD or via StarDust Coins (a fee-reducing pre-purchase option).
Team collaboration. Invite editors, cover designers, co-authors, and audiobook narrators to work on the same production with clear roles and shared revenue.
Community baked in. Followers, posts, comments, messaging, and reader groups so your audience grows with your work — not in a separate Discord or Substack.

For novelists, poets, and cross-format storytellers

Whether you're publishing your first novel, releasing a poetry collection, serializing a fantasy series chapter by chapter, shipping a non-fiction book, or running a multi-format career as a composer, illustrator, or filmmaker who also writes, StarScript gives you one creator-owned home for everything. Your titles live in a discoverable content library — closer to a streaming catalog than a disappearing social feed — so readers keep finding your backlist long after launch day.
