Keep Your Rights. Grow Your Story: Cooperative Publishing for Indie Authors

Traditional publishing asks you to give up your rights just to get a little help. That’s why so many indie authors feel stuck—paying high fees or losing control over their stories. The Shoot System™ changes that by offering cooperative publishing where you keep 100% royalties and ownership, while tapping into a community that shares editing, design, and mentorship through clear, fair processes. Here’s how this writers co-op supports your craft without the usual trade-offs. Learn more here.

The Shoot System™ Workflow

By anonymizing submissions, the focus remains on the work, not the name attached. This approach fosters an environment of trust and respect, where every story has an equal chance to shine.

Editing Credits and Cover Design Collaboration

Contributions earn you editing credits, which are vital for accessing top-notch services. These credits act as currency within the co-op, allowing you to redeem them for professional support.

As you assist others, you accumulate credits that open doors to high-quality editing and design services. This system ensures that support is accessible and equitable, making professional publishing attainable for all members. The collaborative design process ensures your book reflects your unique style and voice.

Transparent Publishing Process

Transparency is critical for trust. The publishing process here is open and documented, providing clarity every step of the way. From submission to publication, every move is logged. This transparency means you always know where you stand. It eliminates guesswork and builds confidence in the process. A documented trail ensures accountability and keeps everyone informed. This clarity fosters a sense of security, allowing you to focus on creativity and innovation.
