Publica Now is a creator economy platform where independent creators publish and sell their work directly — books, music, photography, video, courses — without intermediaries. Unlike traditional platforms, creators retain full ownership of their catalog, customer list, and pricing control.

How much does Publica Now cost?

Creating and maintaining your account is free. You only pay a commission when you sell — there are no listing fees, monthly subscriptions, or exclusivity penalties.

Who can sell on Publica Now?

Any independent creator: writers, musicians, photographers, filmmakers, educators, and anyone producing original content that can be sold in a digital format.

Which countries is it available in?

Publica Now operates in the Americas, Europe, and other regions, with payment processing via Stripe, MercadoPago, PayU, and Bamboo based on the creator's country and their buyers'.

Earnings are tracked in real time on your dashboard and payouts are processed via Stripe, MercadoPago, PayU, or Bamboo depending on your region. Frequency depends on the processor: Stripe can be daily; MercadoPago, weekly or biweekly. Publica Now does not place arbitrary holds.

Can I also sell on other platforms?

Yes. Publica Now does not require exclusivity. You can run your work simultaneously on Amazon KDP, Substack, Patreon, Gumroad, or anywhere else. If you decide to leave, you keep your catalog and your customer list.

Each creator is responsible for declaring and paying tax on what they earn. Publica Now provides sales receipts and exportable earnings reports. For US-based creators we issue the appropriate tax forms based on the payment processor's rules.

What happens if I want to leave?

You take everything with you. Export your catalog, customer list, and sales history at any time from your dashboard. No penalties, no holds, no lock-in.

Do you use my work to train AI models?

No. Publica Now does not train AI models on creators' work, and does not sell content to third parties for that purpose. Your work is yours.
