Keep the pages
you actually wrote for.
Format, print, and sell your book — ebook and paperback — while Shadow's Heights takes half of what the big platforms take. Readers pay less. You keep more.
From manuscript to shelf
Format
Upload a manuscript and Shadow's Heights lays it out for both ebook readers and print — trim size, margins, running heads, and a table of contents, generated automatically.
Design a cover
Build a front cover right in the browser, or upload your own art. Shadow's Heights checks it against ebook and print-spine requirements before you publish.
Sell your way
Set your own list price, or let readers access your book through the Shadow's Heights membership — you're paid per read either way, at the same rate authors earn on the big platforms.
Built for readers, too
Buy once
Pay a single fair price for an ebook or paperback, shipped or delivered instantly.
Read all month
Or subscribe to Shadow's Heights Membership and read across the whole catalog for one monthly price.
Support authors directly
Because our cut is smaller, more of every dollar — or every membership read — reaches the person who wrote the book.
Welcome to Shadow's Heights
This is a prototype — no real account is created.
Your author dashboard
Everything you need to get a book onto the shelf.
What Shadow's Heights checks on upload
Chapter breaks and heading structure, embedded images and resolution, front/back matter (title page, copyright, table of contents), and any formatting that won't survive conversion to ebook or print.
