🌿 How The Dreamer's Library Works. For Authors

A clear explanation you can share with interested authors.

1. What the subscription is

The Dreamer's Library is The Dreamer's Bookshop's monthly digital reading plan where subscribers pay a fixed fee and can choose a limited number of ebooks from our curated indie library.

It is designed to:

• make indie books more accessible
• help readers discover new authors
• create a steady, sustainable income stream for indie writers
• strengthen the community around thoughtful, slow reading

2. How readers use the subscription

Each month, subscribers:

1. Pay a fixed fee
2. Browse the curated ebook selection in The Dreamer's Library
3. Choose a set number of ebooks (e.g., 2 per month)
4. Read them directly in their browser — no downloads, no extra apps needed. A safe reading space made for them.

Every time a reader selects your ebook as one of their monthly picks, you earn a commission.

3. How authors earn money

Authors receive a fixed commission per chosen ebook. You select your preferred amount within a set range (e.g., €1.00–€2.50).

This model ensures:

• fairness
• transparency
• predictable earnings
• equal opportunity for all authors in the program

Your regular 50/50 sales remain unchanged.

Through the participation form, you can:

• opt in or out
• select specific titles
• choose your commission per title
• add notes or conditions

You remain in full control.

5. Your rights and flexibility

• Participation is optional
• You can leave at any time
• You retain all rights to your work
• You can continue publishing elsewhere
• Your ebooks remain available for regular purchase

The Dreamer's Library is simply an additional way for readers to discover you.

6. Why this benefits indie authors

This model helps authors by:

• increasing visibility
• reducing the barrier for readers to try new authors
• creating recurring income
• building a loyal readership
• placing your work in a curated, supportive environment

The Dreamer's Bookshop is built on warmth, discovery, and community — and The Dreamer's Library reflects that spirit.
