For independent authors and small imprints
Interactive books your readers work in, not just read through
Praxis is an authoring platform for interactive books. Write the exercises in the manuscript, release versions and translations the way software ships, and sell access to your books through Shopify checkout. Drafts stay private until you publish them.
Free while we’re in early access. The pricing below is illustrative, not a live checkout.
Authors
Book authoring built for long-form structure: chapters, custom callouts, cross-references, and exercises in the manuscript.
Publishers
Cut a version, add a translation on your own schedule, and sell digital books through Shopify checkout. Buyers activate after purchase.
Readers
Keep a personal copy of an interactive book or workbook, with answers saved to it. Study groups that share only what you choose are on the way.
Everything we’ve built, and everything we haven’t
Pick any feature to see it in context. They are grouped by the work you are doing—book authoring, versions and translations, selling access, reading, collaborating—and labeled Available, In progress, or Planned, so you can tell what you would get today from what is still ahead.
Write the book
An editor that understands books
Write with headings, images, footnotes, quotations, code, and highlights in a structured visual editor. Your sections sit in an outline you can rearrange at any time.
Available authoring, reading, and access previews are screenshots of The Steward's Workshop. Shopify checkout, activation, translations, and features still in progress stay as illustrations until those surfaces exist on the demo title.
Where pricing is headed
None of this is live yet. We are showing the shape we expect so you can plan around it: a free seat while we are in alpha, a hosted plan for authors who sell what they write, and a conversation for publishers who need several teams and study groups.
