Indie Author Bookstore
A professional, done-for-you solution to get your books into readers’
hands—without the tech overwhelm.
The Indie Author Bookstore blends the power of Lulu’s Print-on-Demand, the backend support of Payhip, and the professional storefront of Shopify. Instead of relying solely on Amazon, your books are featured in a curated space built exclusively for indie authors—where every title is professionally set up, easy to browse, and actively promoted.
And the best part? You keep your rights, your creative control, and the majority of your royalties.
I take care of the setup, hosting, and tech headaches—so you can focus on writing your next book.

đź’° Royalty Agreement
This is the only Dreams to Reality service where royalties are shared—because I’m not just setting you up, I’m also maintaining your listing, storefront, and active promotion.
- Authors keep 85% of royalties
- Dreams to Reality retains 15% to cover:
- Lulu POD setup + file management
- Shopify storefront hosting + Payhip product management
- Ongoing promotion across newsletters + social media
- Admin + payout tracking
👉 How payouts work:
- Royalties are paid monthly via PayPal or Zelle, with a full report of your sales.
- Standard Lulu printing costs + payment processor fees (Payhip/Shopify) are automatically deducted at the point of sale—just like Amazon does. The 85% you receive is after those deductions.
This way, you keep the majority of your earnings without worrying about tech headaches or tracking sales.

âť“ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I lose my publishing rights if I join?
A: No. You remain a fully self-published author. This is setup, hosting, and marketing—not publishing.
Q: Can I promote my own books?
A: Absolutely! You’ll get a shareable link directly to your bookstore listing. The more you promote your link, the more visibility (and sales) your book gets. My cross-promotion is a bonus layer of exposure.
Q: How are royalties handled?
A: Authors keep 85% of net royalties (after Lulu’s print cost + Shopify/Payhip processing fees are automatically deducted). Dreams to Reality retains 15% for hosting, setup, and ongoing promotion.
Q: What about my eBook in KDP Select?
A: If your eBook is exclusive to Amazon, your listing will redirect readers to Amazon for purchase—so you remain compliant with KDP Select while still enjoying bookstore visibility.
Q: Do you guarantee sales?
A: No. Sales depend on factors like genre, price point, demand, and marketing. What I provide is professional setup, visibility, cross-promotion, and a bookstore you can confidently market yourself.
Q: Are there refunds?
A: No. The $99 fee covers custom setup labor on Lulu, Payhip, and Shopify, which is non-refundable.
