Raise Funds & Move Forward
You are selling pre-order copies which means you earn real funds from real readers. Funds are paid after your campaign ends and required documentation is submitted.
What happens after your campaign?
BookFund may represent you for a traditional publishing deal and introduce your proposal to established publishers.
We may pitch your project to traditional publishers and assist with negotiations.
Self-publish, work with a hybrid publisher, or continue building your audience.
BookFund as Your Publishing Partner
Depending on your campaign performance, we may act as your deal creator helping you negotiate a publishing contract or represent you long-term, supporting your author career with industry-standard commission structures for domestic and foreign rights. Our goal is simple: help great books find great publishers.

Review proposals, request manuscripts, and connect with authors you'd like to acquire. Our team supports communication and negotiation when needed.
We typically introduce projects that have reached significant pre-order milestones. Campaign performance provides clear market validation. If you acquire a project, pre-order fulfillment responsibilities are defined within your publishing agreement.

Engage with Authors
Follow campaign updates, ask questions, and interact with creators directly throughout their journey.
Pre-Order & Support
When you pre-order a book, you are directly helping that author secure publishing opportunities. Payment is processed at checkout and includes shipping costs.
Many authors offer
- Limited-edition bonuses
- Signed copies
- Exclusive content
- Bundle discounts
Delivery depends on how the author publishes. If a traditional publisher signs the book, they typically handle pre-order fulfillment. If the author self-publishes or works with a hybrid publisher, the author fulfills pre-orders directly.
