What Bookmundo is
Bookmundo is a web-based self-publishing platform for producing and selling books. Authors can publish paperbacks, hardcovers, and ebooks by uploading manuscript and cover files, or by designing a cover with Bookmundo’s Cover Designer. Print-on-demand orders can start at one copy, with volume discounts from three copies. Authors can sell directly through a free author webshop and social media tools, or distribute through Amazon, Kobo, Google Play Books, Apple Books, and local European bookshops. Other listed storefronts include Waterstones, WHSmith, Thalia, Fnac, and Bol.com; fulfillment coverage is described as global. Bookmundo says royalties appear in a sales overview and are paid monthly. Authors retain ownership of their work and can leave without a contract. It also says it handles ISBN registration and ensures books comply with GPSR. Publishing is free, though ISBNs and printing ordered by the author may cost extra; print costs depend on book specifications. The help centre offers guidance on self-publishing, marketing, and Cover Designer, with email support for further help. Bookmundo is headquartered in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and says it has been operating since 2010.
