Welcome, authors!
We believe that bookstores are essential to communities and we want to see them thrive. With supporting bookstores at the core of what we do, we’re proud to offer two platforms that make it easy to link and share audiobooks and print books, and support both independent bookstores and authors.
Libro.fm Audiobooks
Libro.fm allows readers to purchase audiobooks from their local, independent bookstores.
Our network of partner booksellers makes Libro.fm unique: we work with 7,000+ booksellers who recommend audiobooks, curate playlists, and handsell audiobooks in-store.
Link and share your audiobooks on Libro.fm
It’s easy to share your Libro.fm audiobook link(s) on your website and social media—just search your name and/or audiobook title, copy the url, and share. Remember, we report sales to The New York Times, so every audiobook sold through Libro.fm could help your audiobook hit the bestseller list.

Bookstore Link
Bookstore Link, built by Libro.fm, allows you to share a single link to a print book and drive sales to all independent bookstores.
When you link to a book on Bookstore Link, the reader chooses their independent bookstore and is connected directly to that bookstore’s website to make their purchase. The best part? The bookstore keeps 100% of the book sale. Bookstore Link collects no money. We simply connect readers—and their book purchases—to their local bookstores.
Link and share your print books on Bookstore Link
You’ll drive web traffic and sales to independent bookstores and use your influence for good. Not to mention, you’ll also increase your book’s chance of becoming a bestseller.

It is important for us, as authors, to reciprocate by supporting our compatriots in the literary ecosphere... booksellers are our family, and family is the most important relationship of all.”
