About

Cambric is a desktop application for authors and small presses who write and produce text-led books. It combines a chapter-based manuscript editor and binder for parts, chapters, front matter, and back matter with a live preview of composed print pages. Users can start a project or import a DOCX manuscript, apply book-interior templates, set trim and layout options, and review typography, margins, chapter openings, page flow, and other elements before export. From the same local project, Cambric generates print-interior PDFs and reflowable EPUB 3 files, with editable DOCX handoffs also described. It is designed for novels, memoirs, narrative nonfiction, poetry, and similar chapter-based books, and supports desktop builds for 64-bit Windows and macOS. Authors retain their project files locally and upload exported files to their chosen publishing services; Cambric does not itself distribute books.

About

ShelfPublisher is a web-based book publishing platform for authors with completed, print-ready paperbacks. After access is approved, authors buy a publishing slot for one book and upload an interior PDF and cover through the portal. Orbita Media reviews the files, assigns an ISBN from its own publisher block, publishes accepted titles under its imprint, registers book metadata with bibliographic directories, and arranges print-on-demand production and wholesale catalog distribution, reaching more than 50,000 bookstores in 18 countries. Authors retain copyright. Single-slot titles earn 30% of net revenue per copy sold; some subscriptions offer higher shares. Sales statements are issued quarterly. Each slot is valid for 36 months. The service requires no print run, inventory purchase, or separate ISBN fee.
