Bindery

Bindery (Bindery Books) is a community-driven, influencer-led book publishing platform and marketplace founded by Matt Kaye and Meg Harvey. It pairs established book "tastemakers" — social-media book reviewers and BookTok / Bookstagram creators — with emerging authors, letting each tastemaker run their own micro-imprint (Ezeekat Press, Boundless Press, Skies Press, and others), acquire titles, weigh in on creative decisions, and promote them to their communities in exchange for a share of net earnings. Often described as "Patreon meets publishing," Bindery combines traditional trade distribution and marketing with paid membership communities, a bookshop, exclusive reviews and author interviews, and iOS and Android apps. The company is backed by Bloomberg Beta.

Bindery is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Publishing, Books, Community, and Book Clubs.

Bindery’s developer surface includes support, signup flow, and 5 more developer resources.
