  3. To provide maintenance and support for the services

  3. Any permanent cookies that you would be requested when you access the website (clicking on the button: “Keep me logged in”): they’ll store your login credentials, allowing you to be automatically recognized on your next visit for a period of 30 Days. Please note, however, that all browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari etc.) allow you to change cookies settings, so visitors are free at any time to refuse their use or to specify what to accept and what to refuse. Disabling cookies may create delays in the operation of the site.

eMails

We send to all our registered users occasional emails about news or changes that may impact their experience and use of our services. Especially when it involves a change of your services contract (new partner e.g.) allowing you to approve or refuse this change. You may also sign up to receive optional newsletter emails and you’ll always of course be able to opt-in or out.

Our standard guarantee

We will refund your money if you aren’t satisfied. Provided, of course, that you are available to tell us where we failed you and let us try to fix it before we refund you. Not only to prevent abuse but most of all because we hate (really hate!) not finding solutions for our StreetLibers.

See what people are saying about StreetLib

  • I think Streetlib was the cornerstone in solving problems in the digital publishing world that were hindering small publishers. It is technically manageable and intuitive; the people I work with are and have always been helpful, kind and professional. From a tax point of view, it has solved the problem of invoicing low amounts abroad, and from an administrative point of view, it is incredibly easy to deal with just one person.

  • Streetlib has always employed professional staff who stand out for their competence and attention. Everything they do is aimed at client satisfaction. [...] Proposal after proposal, Streetlib managed to create a varied commercial alternative based mainly on ebooks, but that also includes audiobooks and print on demand, and I'm sure we can expect many other wonderful surprises that they will put in place to continue improving their offer.

  • The platform is user-friendly and allows publishers to display their work. The service support team is attentive and ready to answer your questions; they’re always available and willing to collaborate.

  • Streetlib is a very easy-to-use distribution platform. A serious service when answering questions and payments are punctual. I recommend it to everyone!

  • We have been amongst the first editors who joined Streetlib and we keep relying on its services especially because the platforms to create and sell ebooks are extremely easy to use. The distribution service is always detailed and on time, the support center is fast and efficient.

  • What most characterizes the Streetlib digital platform is the comprehensiveness of the service offered: from the creation of the ebook to the promotion, from the analysis of sales data to billing data, the process is easy and intuitive. The support from the dedicated team is also great.

  • The best ebook distribution platform in the world!

  • Availability and professionalism

    Available, professional, proactive: as a small publisher I couldn't find any better. In the digital publishing world, Streetlib is on our side; keeps up-to-date with the latest news, cares about our needs, and is always there if we have any doubts.

  • Constant, innovative drive.

    StreetLib represents a complementary platform that enhances our content offering. Centralization is the word that best represents the number of services they offer, allowing us to save time and to avoid the bureaucracy resulting from the connection with many players. Kudos on the continuous, innovative drive.

  • I published two titles, a philosophical essay and a novel. The assistance was excellent, great availability when problems arose, and great distribution work; the offer was convenient and the final product was of high quality, better than I could imagine. I will definitely continue to work with them and I highly recommend Streetlib both to those who have the skills to prepare everything on their own, and to those who only need to use a few of the services offered at reasonable prices (for example, editor or cover). In short, really satisfied!

  • I first published in 2013. I have often needed assistance and every time they proved that they are super professional, extremely kind, and efficient. Their website and services are constantly improving. There's nothing better.

  • I'm so excited about StreetLib. I published four texts between digital and paper through them and I always felt very confident. The team is present and efficient. Even when I had problems with Write I received great support, and thanks to that I managed to solve the issue. I would recommend it without any hesitation.
