Company Summary

Screwpulp is a new self-publishing platform that utilizes average readers to both market and vet new eBooks. Initial copies of newly published books are given away in exchange for a social-media mention and a star rating and/or review once read. After these free copies the price will automatically rise to $1 now with a star rating for potential buyers to base their decision. The price will continue to rise as the book becomes more popular.
