Pre-orders & print runs
Pre-orders for books, run by Bookend.
Print Runs are pre-order campaigns for upcoming books — Kickstarter, but built specifically for publishing and run by Bookend. Authors raise their print run, readers reserve their copies, and the book gets made together.
Every Print Run follows the same three steps — application to launch.
Tell us about your book and the run you'd like to do. We work with you on scope, timeline, and what makes your book worth pre-ordering.
Together we shape the campaign — cover, tiers, story, milestones. Your Bookend goes live with a pre-order page that's ready for readers.
The Print Run opens. Readers reserve copies, you hit your goal, and the book gets made. Backers get the first copies, signed and tracked.
Run a print run
If you're interested in running a pre-order campaign for your book, please get in touch. Tell us a little about the book and the run you'd like to do, and we'll be back in touch.
