Onboarding
Tell us who you are and what you want to publish. Onboarding starts as soon as you submit the request.
We reply with an onboarding plan and a proposed timeline.
How onboarding works
Independent authors & small publishers
- Upload one or multiple files (Word or EPUB).
- WePub engine produces web publishing + optional EPUB output.
- Enable Buy, analytics, and fan clubs.
- See sales and billing reports.
- Monitor social activity related to your listings.
- Communicate with your fans and followers.
- Plan events and presentations.
Formal onboarding may not be necessary for you. If you just have a few books to publish, feel free to submit them directly:
Institutions & catalogs
We import from the way collections are commonly stored today:
- Bulk file drop (ZIP of EPUB/Word files) + metadata spreadsheet
- OPDS/OPDS2 feeds (where available)
- MARC/ONIX/CSV metadata exports + cover assets
- S3-compatible bucket export or rsync/FTP transfer
- Repository exports (institutional repositories / digital collections)
- We map identifiers, preserve catalog structure, and publish as a web library.
FAQ

Do authors/publishers get reader data?
Yes — first-party relationship with registered readers, plus analytics.
Do institutions sell books here?
They can, but most use ReaderPub for public publishing, programs, and collections.
Subdomain vs custom domain?
Use a reader.pub subdomain or your own subdomain mapped to ReaderPub hosting.
