Smashwords
Publish and distribute your ebook to major retailers
Smashwords is an ebook publishing and distribution platform that allows independent authors and publishers to publish and distribute their ebooks to major online retailers. It provides tools for self-publishing, pricing, and reaching a wide audience across multiple storefronts. The platform serves as both a publishing tool and a marketplace for indie authors.
Authors upload their manuscript to Smashwords, which then formats and distributes the ebook to major retailers like Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, and others.
