How it works

From your draft to a live page on ebokio.com.

Five steps. Most authors finish the first four in a single evening.

Upload an EPUB or DOCX, polish it in the editor, price it in GBP, and submit for a real human review. Once you're live, you keep up to 90% of every sale.

The pipeline

What you do, what we do, how long it takes.

No black box. Here's every stage from the moment your file lands to the moment your royalties hit your account.

01
Drop

Drop your manuscript

Bring an EPUB or DOCX — that's it, no PDFs to wrangle. We read your chapter structure, table of contents, page count and any embedded cover the moment it lands.

  • Auto-cleanup of common Word formatting quirks
  • Embedded font and image audit before you go further
  • Choose your free preview pages visually
02
Polish

Polish in the editor

Free authors get the core editor — typography, headings and footnotes. Premium and Pro unlock the full kit: drop caps, custom title pages and precise page-break control.

  • Inline grammar check on Premium and Pro
  • Readiness score flags typos, broken links and missing images
  • Save and resume any time — your drafts persist
03
Cover & set

Cover it, price it, tag it

Upload your own cover or generate one with AI from a prompt on Premium. Then set your price in GBP, pick categories that map to ebokio.com, and add tags so the AI Librarian can recommend you.

  • Royalty preview shows exactly what you keep
  • Up to 3 categories, unlimited tags, smart-cropped thumbnails
  • List it free, paid, or pay-what-you-want
04
Submit

Submit for review

We check formatting, metadata and content rules by hand. Free authors typically go live in 4–6 working days; Premium ships in under 24 hours; Pro jumps the priority queue.

  • If something's off, we tell you exactly what to fix
  • One-click resubmit when you've made the change
  • Status updates by email and in your dashboard
05
Live & earn

Sell, learn, get paid

Your title goes live on ebokio.com. Watch sales land in real time, see where readers drop off, read AI Librarian transcripts — then keep 70% (Free), 80% (Premium) or 90% (Pro) of every sale.

  • Live royalty counter on every sale
  • Reader heatmaps and chapter drop-off insights
  • Payouts at the end of the month, two months after the sale month
