Leafless is a digital book market that was formed out of the startup accelerator Seed Hatchery. Formerly known as Screwpulp, Leafless rebranded in order to become accessible to a wider audience. I worked with the founders to develop a marketing plan to grow our customer base.
Leafless takes in new books and presents them free of charge to readers in the form of galleys. Readers then nominate the books they’d like to see available for publication. Leafless then distributes these books into the global self-publishing marketplace utilizing our demand-driven pricing model to find the perfect price for each new title. Leafless then presents this data to subscribed agents and publishers so that they can tell not only which books are selling well, but also at which price point they are selling. This approach allows publishers to mitigate the risk involved with the high costs often associated with traditional publishing.
