Not sure? Most self-published authors land between 10 and 60 a month.
$4.50
Roughly $4.50 for a standard 300-page paperback. This cost applies either way.

Assumes KDP's standard 60% print royalty minus print cost, versus direct sales at full retail minus print cost and ~3% payment processing, with the reader covering shipping (standard for direct-to-consumer).

Per book, you keep:
Through Amazon KDP $7.49
Through Author Direct $14.89
PER YEAR
Amazon pays you $3,597
Direct would pay you $7,147

7DayMoney-Back Guarantee

Change your mind in the first week and we return your money.

We start work the day you sign. If you decide within seven days that this is not the right move, tell us and we refund you in full. No exit interview, no retention offer, no clause on page four that quietly makes it impossible. We would rather lose the engagement than build something for an author who is not sure.

Authors Who Made The Switch

They Stopped Renting. Here's
What Happened.

"Selling my book directly through my own website has been a great addition to my author brand. Readers can buy directly from me, and it finally feels like I have my own book business."
Lauren Mitchell
"My website is no longer just a place where readers learn about me. With Pinnacle Global Publications setting up print-on-demand, readers can now order my book directly without me carrying large amounts of inventory."
Marcus Hill
"The biggest change was being able to send readers directly to my own website instead of relying entirely on third-party retailers. It gives me much more control over my author brand."
Danielle Brooks
"I always wanted to sell books, bundles, and special offers through my own website. Pinnacle helped make that possible with print-on-demand, and now my website works as an actual sales channel."
Kevin Richardson
"Having my own book shop feels completely different from simply adding an Amazon link. Readers stay within my brand, discover my other work, and can purchase directly. I wish I had done this sooner."
Amanda Foster
"I didn’t want to order hundreds of copies and hope they sold. Print-on-demand gave me a smarter option. My book can now be purchased through my website and printed only when it’s needed."
Jonathan Parker
"My author website finally does more than just look professional. Readers can discover my book, learn more about me, and purchase a physical copy directly from the same place."
Rachel Morgan

What the Author Direct Program Actually is

Not a course. Not a template you finish yourself at midnight. A working sales operation with your name on it, handed over ready to sell.

Your Author Website

Your name on the door, not a product listing on someone else's shelf. Designed around your book, built to load fast and set up so a reader goes from your ad to checkout in three clicks.

Automated Print-on-Demand

Orders route straight to the printer the moment they are placed. One copy or two hundred, printed and dispatched on demand. Nothing sits in your garage. Nothing gets written off.

Direct-to-Reader Shipping

The book ships from the print facility to the reader's door with tracking. Packaged properly, so it arrives looking like a book someone paid for.

Secure Payment Integration

Stripe or PayPal, configured, tested and live. Money lands in your account at the moment of purchase, not 60 days later on someone else's payment calendar.

No Inventory, Ever

No print run to gamble on. No storage cost. No boxes in the spare room slowly becoming a decision you keep avoiding.

Sell in 10+ Countries

Regional print facilities mean international readers get local printing and local shipping rates, instead of a delivery fee larger than the book.

Four Steps and Only the First One Involves You

We build it and connect it once. After that it runs whether you are at your desk or on holiday.

01

Reader Buys On Your Site

They land on your page, pick a format and check out. No competing titles in the sidebar. No "customers also bought" pulling them somewhere else.

02

Order Routes Automatically

The order pushes straight to the print partner with the right file, format and shipping address. No forwarding, no spreadsheet, no manual step.

03

Book Gets Printed

Printed to order at the facility closest to your reader, matched to your approved interior and cover files.

04

Shipped To Their Door

Dispatched with tracking. The reader gets a confirmation. You get the sale, the margin and the email address.

Let Us Be Honest

You Are Probably Thinking One Of These Things.

Good. You should be skeptical. The publishing services world has earned that. So let’s deal with the questions directly instead of pretending you don’t have them.

"Do I have to stop selling on Amazon?"

No. Keep your Amazon listing exactly where it is. Amazon can remain your discovery channel while your own storefront gives readers another place to buy directly from you. This is about changing where your existing audience checks out, not abandoning Amazon.

"I do not have an author website."

That is exactly what we build. Your domain, website, storefront, product pages and checkout are all part of the setup. If you already own a domain, we can use it. If not, we can help you register one in your name.

"Do I need to hold inventory or ship books myself?"

No. Books are printed when an order is placed and routed directly to the print and fulfillment partner. The finished book ships straight to your reader, so you do not need to store boxes or manage fulfillment yourself.

"I am not technical enough to run this."

You will not need to be. Once the storefront is live, orders are captured automatically, payment is processed and the order is routed for printing and fulfillment. You can log in when you want to view sales or update your products.

"When do I get paid?"

Your customer pays at checkout. The funds are processed through your Stripe or PayPal account and then settle according to that payment provider's standard payout schedule. You are not waiting on a traditional publishing royalty cycle.

"What can I sell through my storefront?"

You can sell the print editions you offer, including paperback and hardcover, with additional books added to the storefront. Your setup is designed around your actual catalog rather than forcing you into formats you do not publish.

"Will I have to pay a monthly fee?"

Not to us. The program is a one-time setup. You remain responsible for normal costs such as your domain, hosting and payment processing fees. We make those costs clear before you move forward.

"How long does it take to get my store live?"

Most stores are ready in around 21 days after we receive the required files and information. The biggest variable is usually having your final cover, interior and product details ready to go.

"Do I actually own the website afterwards?"

Yes. The domain, website, storefront and customer data belong to you. The goal is to give you a sales channel you own rather than another platform you are dependent on.

"What if direct sales do not work for my book?"

That is why we look at the numbers before you commit. We can review your retail price, print costs and expected sales volume and show you whether direct selling makes financial sense for your book. If the numbers do not justify it, we will tell you.

"What if I change my mind after I start?"

You have seven days from your start date to request a full refund. No complicated process and no long-term contract locking you into the program.

"Why would readers buy from me instead of Amazon?"

Readers who already follow your work are your audience. Your website gives them a direct path to purchase from you. Email lists, social media, podcasts, speaking events and your existing audience can all point to the same storefront.

Why Act Now

Every Month You Wait is Another Month of Paying Rent on Your Own Book.

That number earlier is not hypothetical. It is your retail price times your volume. This month, every copy you sell through the current setup costs you the difference and you do not get it back.

We onboard a limited number of builds each month because every storefront is built by hand, not spun off a template. When the month's slots are filled, the next start date is the following month.
