Curate your library

A new world for authors
80 million new readers
Scribd offers authors exposure to an established audience of 80 million monthly readers around the globe. We help authors and publishers reach more readers.
New model, traditional revenue
While Scribd subscribers enjoy unlimited books for a flat monthly fee, we pay publishers when a book is read as if the subscriber had bought it in a retail e-book store. Authors are paid according to their agreements with their publisher.
Copyright Protection
While we encourage our community of users to share their written works using our platform, we do not tolerate copyright infringement. Our team responds swiftly to reports of infringements.
