Problem
Independent authors often must navigate multiple services for editing, cover design, formatting, and distribution, incurring high costs and long timelines before a book reaches readers in print, e‑book, or audio formats.
Solution
GoRead offers an automated, AI‑driven self‑publishing platform that handles manuscript upload, spelling and content checks, cover design, e‑book conversion, print‑ready PDF generation, and AI‑narrated audiobook creation. The system produces a printable book and an e‑book at no production cost and generates audiobooks at a fixed per‑hour rate, then distributes digital editions to major streaming stores within hours and makes printed copies available to online and brick‑and‑mortar retailers within days. Authors retain full copyright, set their own prices, and receive 70% of sales revenue. The platform also provides royalty reporting, pricing assistance, and the ability to order printed copies at cost. By consolidating the publishing workflow into a single online service, GoRead reduces time‑to‑market and overall publishing expenses for authors.
