Heracles pondering how he can handle 50 beautiful women at once

Heracles: Wait a moment... how many daughters did you say you had again?

Heracles: ...huh... (FUUUUCK, I only had sex with my best bros... I don't know if I can last that long with that many women... maybe if I simply lay there...?)

Indie Voices · Authors & Books @metareelz.com · 13/04/2026

Indie authors: list your book on thebooklist.co for free. No signup. No platform fees. No commissions. Add your title, description, cover, and purchase link in about a minute. Readers discover your book, you keep 100% of every sale. That's it. That's the whole thing #BookSky #IndieAuthor #IndieBooks

The Book List is a community-built platform where independent authors can share their books with readers around the world. No fees, no commissions, no gatekeepers. Just books and the people who love them.

What We Stand For

What we believe

Books should be discoverable. Every book deserves a chance to find its readers, not just the ones with the biggest marketing budget.

Authors should keep what they earn. When a reader buys your book, that money belongs to you. We never take a cut, never charge a listing fee, and never insert ourselves between you and your sale.

Recommendations should be honest. The books trending on The Book List are trending because real readers are clicking, sharing, and coming back to them. Not because someone paid for placement.

The community should own the platform. The Book List is built for authors and readers, not advertisers. Every decision we make is guided by what's best for the people who actually use the site.

What Makes Us Different

What sets us apart

Free forever. No listing fees, no premium tiers, no upsells. The Book List has been free since day one and will stay that way.

No commissions. When a reader buys your book through your purchase link, you keep 100 percent of the sale. We never touch the money.

No paid placements. Every book on the trending lists earned its spot through genuine reader interest. You can't pay your way to the top.

Built for readers and authors equally. We care just as much about helping readers find great books as we do about helping authors get discovered. Both sides win when the platform stays honest.

No account required to browse. Readers can explore the entire platform without signing up.

Surprised Eel Historian, PhD @greenleejw.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

You've probably been wondering: "How many eels is a cottage worth in 14th C. England?" This is a reasonable question. I get it. And happily, I'm here to help! I included a chart showing this kind of equivalence in an article I wrote for HistoryExtra , but here's an excerpt! 🗃️🧪

Table showing cost of items in the 14th C., and the equivalent value in eels. The table has 3 columns: "You want to buy", "It Costs", and "But in eels?" The table shows you that:

2 doz. eggs costs 1d, or 6 eels
A gallon of the best ale costs 1.25d or 8 eels
1 sheep costs 1s 5d, or 106 eels
1 cow costs 9s 5d, or 706 eels
A 2-story cottage costs £2, or 3,000 eels

The d. here means penny, from the latin "denarius." There were 12 d. to a shilling (s), and 20 shillings to a pound (£).

As far as I know, no one was buying cottages with eels. This is more to give you a sense of relative costs. But wouldn't it be interesting if you could buy a house with eels?

This chart leaves unanswered the question: "What about the next-best ale?" and suggests and entire spectrum of ale gradations. Which makes good sense, of course. But also, you certainly wouldn't want to spend your eels on inferior ale!

Now that #Draft2Digital has added an "Account Closure Request" option to their dropdown, I sent another request. I think I made my feelings clear, what do you think?

a screenshot of the contact form on the Draft2Digital website containing my message to them:
Delete my account.

Also, grow some balls. It's obvious the real reason for your "maintenance fee" is that you don't feel the money you make from lower-selling authors is enough to maintain our accounts in terms of server space etc. But instead of being honest about the expense of maintaning such accounts, you fed us a line about the expense of policing for AI slop. If that was really your reason, you'd charge everyong the fee. You're targeting the lowest-earning authors because you want us off your platform, plain and simple. So fine. Bye.

Draft2Digital has about 330,000 authors in its system. If 70% of those authors earn less than $100, that's 231,000 accounts that will be charged the $12 fee, which is $2.7 million in reoccurring revenue. In two years it'll get upped to $14 to "fight spam". This is staying and only ever increasing.

"But $12 isn't a lot". It is when you're making less than $100. What if you only use Draft2Digital for library distribution and make $15 a year and this fee takes away $12, leaving you with only $3? What if you made less than $12 and now you're paying THEM? Fuuuck that.

This is a disgrace. It will absolutely affect small indies (myself included), not help. Only the big fishes out there will be okay. It has quite an elitist feel to it. Also, I can't prove it, but my gut tells me it's part of the ruling class's worldwide stupidification campaign.

Activation Fee for New Accounts

If you already have a D2D account (if you’re reading this, you probably do), the activation fee doesn’t apply to you. New accounts will include a one-time fee of $20 (USD). This activation fee, combined with our verification tools and human reviewers, will help us maintain a secure, high-integrity publishing environment.

Like many platforms, we’ve seen a significant increase in automated and low-quality account creation in recent years. This onslaught from automated content farms threatens reader trust in indie titles and risks indies being associated with low-quality “slop.” A modest activation fee can make a real difference and allow our team to stay focused on supporting genuine authors like you.

Annual Maintenance Fee

An annual maintenance fee of $12 (USD) will apply to accounts whose earnings from book sales, meaning your net proceeds after D2D’s commission, total less than $100 over the preceding 12-month period. If you earn $100 or more from your book sales over 12 months, you will not be charged this fee.

Draft2Digital is primarily supported by earning commissions on book sales. For accounts that earn less revenue, a small annual fee helps offset a portion of the steadily rising costs we pay to maintain those accounts, including compliance, security, and infrastructure upkeep.

Maintenance fees will start going into effect in 30 days, on May 14, 2026, and will be based on your account anniversary date. We’ll always notify you in advance.

The Bottom Line

Our goal is to keep D2D a place where authors can publish with confidence. That means continuing to invest in our tools, maintaining strong relationships with retailers, and protecting the legitimacy of indie authors and the trust that readers place in indie books.

If you have questions, additional details can be found on your Account Status page, or you can read our updated terms of service. You can also reach out to our support team via our contact us form at any time.

We appreciate your trust in D2D, and we remain committed to developing and protecting opportunities for indies to reach readers.

Sincerely,

Kris Austin

CEO of Draft2Digital

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.
