Liberating ideas
To date, our community has pledged over £3 million to Unbound projects to fund everything from an anthology on race and identity in contemporary Britain to a compilation of terrible old video games you’ve probably never heard of.
Ideas are welcome here.
Unbound creators pursue bold ideas on their own terms – and make an impact on the world, too.
We’re a small, agile team based in the heart of London – and we’re growing.
We’re a team of publishers, writers, editors, designers – you name it – helping people bring their ideas to life. And we take care of the whole process, from manuscript editing to shipping the first editions.
Efficient, transparent and accessible.
Our crowdfunding model shifts the balance of power into your hands, and gives great ideas a way of making their mark on the world. Find a project that you love, and actually help make it happen.
Our best idea? Listening to yours.
At the heart of Unbound is a vibrant community pulling together to make great things happen. Our community suggest features, test prototypes and give us constant feedback so we can make Unbound the best it can possibly be.
“Brilliant… Unbound is trailblazing a new way of getting books to readers.”
“It is Unbound’s direct dialogue between writers and readers which seems to have been missing from the publishing world, until now.”
“Traditional publishing is in the doldrums, it's collapsing. Publishers are looking around for new ways of going forward. I think Unbound could be the future.”
“Of all the bright new shoots the digital world has helped to spring out of the wizened old stump of the book world, Unbound is one of the freshest and brightest”
Pitch your idea to our commissioning editors – if it has the makings of a great book, we’ll launch it on our site.
Tell the world your project is live and start planning your promotion campaign.
While you’re writing your book, we’ll sell preorders to our community of supporters. All you have to do is let people know it’s happening, and keep your backers in the loop with our handy creator dashboard.
There you have it – your idea, made real. We’ll send a copy to everyone that’s helped along the way.
Browse our projects to find something that speaks to you.
Help an idea you care about make an impact on the world. Show your support by pledging for great rewards and a unique insight into the creative process. Oh, and spread the word!
Once the project’s funded, we’ll keep you in the loop as it moves through the publishing process with regular email updates. And you can communicate directly with creators you’ve backed through their Q&A; channels.
When the project’s completed and published, we’ll send you a copy. An idea made real, thanks to your support.
