How Estafet Works functions
From your first page to holding a printed book, here's everything you need to know.
Browse and choose a project or chain
Explore projects across dozens of categories, from recipes, travel stories, fiction, poetry, to folklore, and much more. Each project has a clear theme, page count, and community of contributors. Find a project or chain that speaks to you.
Join and pay
When you join a project, your participation fee covers the cost of your printed book. Payment is processed securely via Stripe. Your spot is reserved immediately.
Write your contribution
Use our editor to write your pages. Each project specifies exactly how many pages you need to write. We will assist you with grammar, style, and ensure your writing fits the project's tone while keeping your authentic and unique voice.
Review and human editing
Every submission goes through our review process first, checking for grammar, content safety, and coherence with the project theme. Our editors review and approve each submission before it goes to print.
The book comes together
As all contributors submit their pages, the book assembles itself. You can see how many contributors have joined and watch the project grow. When all spots are filled and submissions approved, the book goes to print.
Receive your book
A professionally printed book arrives at your door. Your name is listed as a contributor (anonymous is possible). It's a real book, something you can hold, gift, and display proudly. A permanent record of your contribution to something bigger than yourself.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be a professional writer?
Absolutely not. Estafet Works is for anyone with a story to tell. We help you polish your writing, our editors are here to help, not judge.
What happens if a project doesn't fill up?
If a project doesn't reach its minimum contributors, participants receive a full refund. We only print when a project is complete.
Who owns the content I write?
By contributing to a project, you grant Estafet Works the rights to print your contribution as part of the collaborative book. You retain credit as a named contributor (anonymous is possible).
Can I contribute to multiple projects?
Yes! You can join as many projects and chains as you like. Each project is independent with its own timeline and community.
How long does the whole process take?
It depends on the project. Most projects take 3 to 6 months from opening to delivery, depending on the number of contributors and the submission timeline.
Can I order extra copies?
Yes, you can. During the order process you can add extra copies at a discounted rate. Perfect for gifts.
