Self-Publish Books and Novels on StarScript

StarScript is a self-publishing platform for independent authors releasing books, novels, novellas, short stories, poetry collections, and serialized fiction. Upload your manuscript as EPUB or PDF, set your own pricing, build paid membership tiers around your work, and keep 95% of what you earn thanks to some of the lowest transaction fees in indie publishing.

How book publishing works on StarScript

Create a production for your book or series, upload chapters or the full manuscript, add a cover, and publish. Readers can buy individual books, subscribe to a paid tier for early chapters and exclusive extras, or follow your profile to receive updates as new work goes live. Royalties pay out to you directly — no aggregator, no exclusive contract, no opaque per-page rate.

Why indie authors choose StarScript

95% creator revenue share. The platform fee is 5%, among the lowest in independent publishing — significantly more author-friendly than KDP, traditional distributors, or most creator marketplaces.
Own the reader relationship. Readers subscribe to you directly, not to an algorithm. Build a backlist, a mailing list-equivalent through followers, and recurring revenue through paid membership tiers.
Serialized fiction friendly. Release a novel one chapter at a time, gate later chapters behind a paid tier, and convert casual readers into committed subscribers.
Cross-format support. If you also record an audiobook, score original music, or commission illustrations, all of it lives under the same creator profile so fans can find everything you make in one place.

Built for novelists, poets, and serialized writers

Whether you're an independent author building a long-form career, a poet releasing a collection, a romance or sci-fi novelist serializing a new book, or a working illustrator publishing illustrated books or graphic novels and comic books, StarScript gives you the publishing tools, community, and direct monetization in one place. Your books live in a discoverable, streaming-style library where readers browse and follow creators over time — not a feed that buries your work after a day.
