The initial version of Authory allows you to create various sizes and formats of book, plus invite friends to contribute. This seems to work well; the highest number of contributors into a book we have seen to date is 37! Everyone seems more than happy with the results! Things we have planned..
- Dynamic pricing – at the moment we just charge a flat fee of £29.95 per book no matter how many pages; this is based on a 24 page glossy colour photo-book, so effectively, extra pages are free!
- Improved graphics within the book editor itself – we still think the pages should look more like pages than “containers on a screen.
- Better mobile device support; many people do everything on their phones and we need to work out a way where people can contribute to books whilst on the move.
- Better templates – at the moment we really only have cover designs, but given the “multi-contributor” functionality, we’d like to showcase what’s possible with the book editing software.
