Our mission is Uniting Authors, Readers and Providers through a revolutionary book publishing platform. We offer a unique new model for aspiring authors to manage their destiny. We bridge the gap created between traditional publishing and self-publishing, by identify what readers want and publishing the authors who can deliver. Here’s how it works: Authors submit their book ideas and solicit feedback, while readers pledge support and vote for their favorites. As authors achieve various voting milestones on the path toward 1,000 votes (and publishing contract eligibility), they receive guidance and benefits and complete related check-in activities. Our process focuses on educating and empowering authors to master what we call the three P’s: production, platform, and pitch, even before their books are finished. This approach also helps SOOP to make the right investment choice with every author we publish. In addition to publishing authors who work through our program, SOOP also offers independent author services (editing, design, marketing, and more) a la carte to anyone, via our services marketplace.
