Chapter · Zart

We began distributing books in 2009, before we published our first book under our own name.

Three things we do not compromise on

01

We don’t ask for a finished book

Scattered drafts or just an idea. We start from where you are.

02

Nothing is published without your approval

The cover, the layout and the description reach you before any platform.

03

Your name is never left to a machine

One person follows your book by name until its first reader opens it.

Your book page: one link for all its stores

An add-on service that gives your book its own page on the Zart website, gathering its links in every store with a sample readers can try before they buy.

  • One link for all your book’s stores
  • A free sample readers can try before buying
  • 25 designs to choose from, matched to your book’s genre
  • Direct conversations with your readers

What authors ask before they send their manuscript

How long does publishing take?

From the day we receive your final file: 12–16 working days on Pro, 14–18 on Starter and 16–21 on Lite. Specialized Publishing is scheduled to the size of the work in the planning session.

How many platforms will my book appear on?

3 platforms on Lite, 5 on Starter, 6–7 on Pro and every available platform on Specialized Publishing, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, Google Play and Kobo.

Can I choose the platforms my book is published on?

No. Our team chooses them, because it studies your book’s audience, language and category and picks the platforms that suit it best. Zart does not guarantee any specific platform: each platform has its own policies and decides on its own whether to accept, refuse or remove a title, without having to give a reason. If a platform refuses your book, we address its notes or choose an alternative platform within your plan.

What exactly do I pay?

A one-time setup fee from SAR 399, a commission on sales of 8% to 18% depending on the plan, and SAR 99 a year on Starter and above. Full details are on the plans page.

Does my book stay published if I don’t renew?

Yes. Your book stays published on the platforms whether you renew or not.

Who owns the rights to my book?

You do, 100%. Zart is a publisher and distribution agent, not the owner of the work, and the contract says so.

Why Zart instead of publishing on Amazon directly?

Publishing directly is free, but you handle the design, formatting and requirements alone. With us: a cover, typesetting, publishing to several platforms, support in Arabic and English, and a person who follows your book by name.

All questions

Just write!
Your ideas deserve to be read.
