Description
Unbound is a London based startup that is shaking up the world of publishing by connecting authors and readers.
We use crowd funding to let readers decide which books get published. Authors pitch their ideas directly, and if they gain enough support, their book will be written. Unbound shares 50% of the profit from book sales with the authors (a significantly better deal than they would get from a traditional publisher).
Our founders are have built their careers in publishing and the media, and are known for their work on titles such as QI, Pirates of the Caribbean, Crap Towns, and The Idler.
