For publishers

Sell where your readers actually read.

URUK Read is the discovery layer for the URUK Shelf platform. Every publisher on URUK Shelf gets a profile here — automatically.

If you publish books, you need three things: a beautiful storefront, a way to take payment that actually works in your country, and readers who can find you. URUK Shelf gives you all three.

Your storefront looks like your storefront — bilingual by default, mobile-first, designed to make books look the way they should. Your customers pay through whatever gateway works for you: Stripe, Tap, PayTabs, HyperPay, MyFatoorah, bank transfer, cash on delivery. We support the regions other platforms ignore.

And every URUK Shelf publisher appears on URUK Read — the discovery surface readers come to when they want to find someone like you. Your books, your name, your voice. We send the readers; you keep the relationship.

What you get

Built for publishers, not platforms.

Bilingual by default

Arabic and English ship together, with proper RTL layouts, typography tuned for both scripts, and currency and dates that match your readers' expectations.

Payments that work in your region

Stripe, Tap, PayTabs, HyperPay, MyFatoorah, Areeba, bank transfer, cash on delivery. Pick what fits your country. Use multiple at once.

Discovery on URUK Read

Your books surface to readers who didn't know to look for you. Outbound clicks tracked. Followers notified of new releases. Your relationship with readers, multiplied.
