Publishers Guide

If you are a publisher, rights broker, or author, Paperight lets you sell instant, effortless print- and copy-licences to businesses anywhere – copy shops, schools, colleges, NGOs, churches, and more. They are our outlets, and they buy licences to print out, or copy your books. If they’re printing, they’ll get watermarked PDFs at paperight.com. Their customers pay a licence fee and the outlet’s printing/copying charge. You earn the licence fee, less Paperight’s commission.
