Bring your catalogue closer to readers.
Build your publisher presence, organise books and authors, improve discoverability, run review-copy campaigns, deliver eligible copies through BookNami Reader and connect your titles with readers who are already browsing.
Built for a list, not a single title
Catalogue, imprints, authors and team in one connected workspace — with public pages readers and search engines can reach.
A publisher profile
A public house page with your logo, banner, description, links, imprints, authors and catalogue.
Browse publishersCatalogue management
Manage every title in one catalogue — metadata, covers, retailer links, series order and release status.
Imprints
Give each imprint its own public page and its own slice of the catalogue, all under the same house.
Browse imprintsAuthor roster
Link the authors you publish to your house so readers can move between the book, the author and the imprint.
Team and permissions
Invite colleagues and give them the access their job needs — the workspace is shared, not passed around one login.
Discoverability by default
Publisher, imprint, author, series and book pages are all server-rendered and crawlable with structured data and internal links.

House, imprints, authors and books — linked
Your public publisher page connects to your imprints, your imprints to their catalogue, your books to their authors and series. Readers who arrive at one title can walk the whole list, and search engines can see how it all fits together.
- Publisher page with imprints and catalogue
- Author roster readers can follow
- Series in reading order across the list
How the catalogue connects
- Publisher → imprints → titles
- Titles → authors → series
- Books → genres, topics, themes and tropes
- Every level a public, crawlable page
Grow an audience for the house, not just per book
Readers follow your authors and series and can subscribe to newsletters from public author pages. Connect Moosend or Kit and those subscribers flow into the provider you already use — the list stays with you.
- Connect Moosend or Kit
- Followers across authors, series and imprints
- Audience-growth reporting in your dashboard
Followers vs subscribers
- BookNami followers see updates and new releases here
- Newsletter subscribers land in your own email provider
- BookNami does not own or rent your mailing list

- Upload the EPUB or PDF
- Deliver through BookNami Reader
- Readers apply

- They read online or offline
- Aggregate progress feeds campaign reporting

Built for discovery beyond BookNami

- Canonical URLs and clean metadata
- JSON-LD structured data and breadcrumbs
- Sitemap inclusion and internal linking
- Social sharing metadata
Find the weak pages in your list

Where data is available
- Clicks, impressions, CTR and average position
- Top pages and search terms
- Daily trends
- Reported from BookNami's own verified property — nothing to connect
