For authors and independent publishers

Write it. Publish it.
Gather your readers.

Chapterhood turns your manuscript into a reader site on your own domain, an AI companion that answers from your pages, and a subscriber list that stays yours.

Why most books go quiet after launch

Your book should keep working. Most just sit there.

A PDF download

Read once, skimmed, never reopened. You never learn who read it.

A marketplace listing

The store keeps your reader's email — and the relationship.

Answering DMs

The same three questions, one reader at a time.

Before you ask

Honest answers, no fine print.

Will the AI make things up about my book?

No. It answers only from your text and cites the page it used. When your book doesn't cover a question, it says so and points the reader to you.

Who owns the readers?

You do. Readers subscribe on your book's site, and the list lives in your studio — not in a marketplace.

What does it cost?

Reading is free. Writers start at $0. Paid plans arrive with our payments rollout — nothing is charged today.

Which files and languages?

PDFs, including scanned pages (we read them with OCR). The companion answers in English, Bulgarian and Romanian.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. Connect your domain from the studio and your reader site runs on it.
