How it works
Traditional publishing takes eighteen months and a gatekeeper. ALTARED takes a community and a calendar.
- 01
Market research
Before you write a word, we put your topic, title options and cover directions in front of real Christian readers. You get survey results, not opinions from your small group.
- 02
Pre-sale campaign
Launch a campaign page with a goal and a deadline. Backers pledge, and their pledges fund editing, design and print. If the community shows up, the book gets made.
- 03
Write in the open
Draft chapters inside the Author Studio. Publish them one at a time to your backers. Every save creates a revision so nothing is ever lost.
- 04
Community proofreading
Readers apply to be proofreaders. They highlight a line, suggest a fix, and earn credit for every suggestion you accept. Paid attention beats free advice.
- 05
Reader analytics
See where attention holds and where it breaks. Chapter-by-chapter completion, drop-off funnels and scroll heat maps tell you exactly which paragraph lost the room.
- 06
Audiobook in your voice
Generate narration in the author's own voice, chapter by chapter. Revise a chapter and regenerate only that chapter — no re-booking a studio.
- 07
Distribution
Print, ebook and audio go out through Amazon, Walmart, Ingram, McGraw Hill and Apple Books, with NielsenIQ BookData registration for the trade.
