How to make your referral:

After you've signed up, we'll provide a direct link that sends your referral to a dedicated webpage. This page personally invites your referral to work with BookBaby while showing the benefits of working with our professional team. Share it and you'll have an easier time gaining referrals.

After they follow the link to sign up, they'll become one of your referred clients. You'll then be eligible to receive a commission and will be able to track their project progress. This is the only way you can receive credit for your author referrals. We cannot accept referrals via phone calls or after the printing project has been received.

You can refer anyone looking to publish that hasn't worked with BookBaby yet. Authors can only be referred once by one Partner.
