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.
