For authors
Write it. Publish it. Own it.
Curated Word gives self-publishing authors the tools a publishing house keeps for itself — free to start, under your own name, with your rights and royalties exactly where they belong: with you.
Start writing — it's free →A serious writing surface
Chapters, scene beats, footnotes, revision history — plus editorial AI tools for rewriting, research, continuity and dialogue that work with your manuscript, not instead of you.
Professional output
One click renders a retail-quality EPUB and a print-ready PDF with proper typography. Order a proof copy of your own paperback before anyone else sees it.
Published under YOUR name
Self-published means self-published: your name (or your own imprint) is the publisher of record. Bring your own ISBN, keep your rights, set your price.
A real sales channel
Your book goes on sale in the Curated Word bookshop — ebook, audiobook and print — with royalties tracked per sale and paid out from real accounts.
Specialists when you want them
Editors, proofreaders, cover designers and publicists are on the platform. Engage one directly; the work and payment terms live where the manuscript lives.
A path to being signed
Submit your manuscript to any publisher on the platform that is open for submissions — including the Wordwrights house list — and accept an offer without leaving your dashboard.
Free to write. Pro when you're ready.
Writing, publishing and selling are free — the platform takes a small commission on sales. Going Pro lowers the commission and unlocks your own imprint, rights management, priority listing and wider distribution.
Your book belongs on a shelf.
