Hyperink is a next-generation digital book publishing platform and full-service agency that helps authors write, design, publish, market, and sell books without up-front fees. The company aims to represent the long tail of book demand by producing highly niche, targeted titles and moving far faster than traditional publishers. Hyperink pairs authors with editorial teams or ghostwriters, publishes to platforms like Kindle, iBooks and Nook, and provides marketing through search optimization, social media, and email. It advertises average production costs under $1,000, publication timelines under a month, and author royalty rates up to 50 percent. A cited success is “Marketing Your Android App” by Eddie Kim, which was produced with under 10 hours of author time and is already profitable. Hyperink graduated from Y Combinator’s Winter 2011 class and has raised outside capital to support its growth.
