The complex and costly process of traditional publishing once dampened many dreams, leaving countless stories untold. But through tinkering with open source software, collaborative editing tools, AI engines and print-on-demand technologies, many accessible end-to-end solutions for crafting professional quality books have now evolved.
The name "Liber Craft" nods to the creative freedom unlocked for writers. No longer must authors possess insider expertise or deep pockets to share their stories. The shackles are off, and the chance to publish is now equally available to all.
Yet there remain many steps in the journey from initial thought to printed page. The objective of this work is to guide authors through the process, providing support and troubleshooting assistance along the way.
Our philosophy is that the writer should control the entire creative journey, with book-making as a joyful, accessible adventure open to everyone. We provide the roadmap and tools to craft your story, then release it in whatever format you choose - print, digital, audio, video - let your imagination fly free.
Our mission is simple: Empower budding authors everywhere with the knowledge and resources to professionally publish their works. Because every great tale deserves to be shared.
Liber Craft - Craft and free your story.
We aim to democratize and simplify book production - from writing, editing, design, printing, distribution and discovery. Each stage represents an industry undergoing rapid change through new technologies.
Liber Craft leverages these advances to make book creation more accessible. Our step-by-step guides cover the full process, from concept to printed volume. We provide context, instructions, and tips in an easy-to-follow format.
AI prompt for background, detail and trouble shooting are shown in this format.
