Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Oklahoma City, Draft2Digitalwas built by writers, for writers. Our mission is to eliminate the technical barriers of the publishing industry, empowering independent authors to create professional-quality work and "go wide" with their distribution. We believe that your primary focus should be your craft, which is why we provide a "no-risk" path to global success.
In 2022, Draft2Digitalreached a historic milestone by acquiring Smashwords, our longtime peer and competitor. This merger created a comprehensive ecosystem that now supports over 250,000 authors and publishers who have brought nearly one million titles to life. By combining our automated conversion tools with the world’s largest independent ebook store, we provide the most robust set of resources for the modern indie author.
