Spines: #1 Fastest-Growing Book Publishing Platform in the U.S.

At Spines, we’re rebuilding publishing for a new era: powered by technology, guided by craft, and built around the author.

Our next-generation publishing platform combines powerful AI with human expertise to help writers publish professionally across every format, language, and global market. The tools we’re developing streamline editing, design, translation, production, and distribution, making a complex process simple, scalable, and author-first.

Our mission is to make professional publishing possible for everyone, so no great story goes unheard. But what we’re really building is bigger: a platform that transforms how books are made, shared, and experienced globally.

We’re growing a team of people who want to shape the future of publishing: creators, technologists, and storytellers driven by craft, purpose, and the opportunity to make a real impact for authors and readers everywhere.
