Frequently Asked Questions

How does the refer-a-friend program work?

Are you already a writer at GRIN and have friends who have also written term papers or theses? Then invite them to join us! You can copy an individual link from your author profile – for every person who registers via your link and publishes a text, you get five euros!

How can I refer friends?

If you have copied the invitation link from your GRIN author profile, you can easily send it to your friends, for example by email or WhatsApp.

How do I receive my reward?

Your premium, just like your fees from sold texts, will be paid out with the quarterly statement.

By the way…

You can also use the link in your author profile to sell your own books. For every text sold, you will receive a five percent commission!

Layout check

We check your text for readability and printability (Are the margins sufficient for printing? Is the font size easy to read in print? Is the line spacing right? Is the resolution of the illustrations sufficient for good print quality?), embed the fonts if necessary and take care of automatic page numbers and a table of contents.

Publication as e-book and ISBN

With each publication, you will receive an ISBN number for your e-book and print book.

Worldwide distribution

With each publication, you will receive an ISBN number for your e-book and print book. We deliver your book to our worldwide distribution network: over 300 online shops.

Cover Service

Do you already have your own photo or motif or at least a very concrete idea of how you imagine your book cover? Perfect! We will take care of the creation and send you two to four drafts, from which you can choose one.

You don’t have a cover idea yet or would like us to include your author photo on the back of the book? No problem. For an extra charge of €50, our graphic designer will search for motifs and design your individual book cover including an author’s photo on the book cover – creatively, professionally and matching your story.
