Monetise the readership you serve
You’re a trusted gateway to readers in your community. ZOMZEY connects you with authors and publishers who want to reach them, you choose what fits, and you get paid securely.
You connect readers with books every day. Let's help that work harder for you.
An independent bookstore is so much more than shelves, it's a curated, trusted space readers come to for recommendations. That trust is genuinely valuable to authors and publishers, but turning it into reliable income beyond retail margin is hard. Author events take effort to organise, paid placements are an informal handshake at best, and there's no easy way for the right authors to find you. ZOMZEY changes that. Authors and publishers post real, paid opportunities, table features, window displays, events, staff-pick placements, and you simply choose the ones that fit your shop and your readers.
How it works for libraries
It’s simple. Browse opportunities from authors and publishers wanting to reach your readers. See one that fits your library and community? Make your offer and set your terms, an author event, a featured collection, a reading programme. If they choose you, you deliver it, and you get paid securely through the platform. You stay in control, you only ever take on what genuinely serves
What makes ZOMZEY different
On ZOMZEY, you’re valued for the genuine reach and engagement you offer, not a social metric. Every partnership you complete builds your verified track record, and the stronger it grows, the higher you rank and the more authors and publishers seek you out. Every Pioneer is verified and every deal is funded in Protected Payments before you start. We built ZOMZEY so the trusted institutions that champion reading get supported for the audiences they serve.
