ThePeopleBook is a co-creation and licensed online-reading platform: anyone can pitch a topic, assemble a team, co-write chapters, and help decide whether a proposal is worth opening for public collaboration. Every book has a public creation process and a transparent contribution log.

Readers can browse books in progress and join trial-reading discussions. People who want to co-create can submit proposals, join recruiting teams, write chapters, leave review comments, vote, and submit errata. Every form of participation shows up on your profile.

Proposing, co-creation, and voting are free. Once a book is live, the team decides whether it is free or paid, and paid-reading revenue is allocated through the book revenue ledger.

Filter the book list for ‘Recruiting,’ open a book, and submit an application. Once the leader or an editor accepts you, you'll appear on the team — you can claim chapters, submit reviews, and participate in internal decisions.

After editing a chapter, you submit a Review Request. Once other team members approve it, your changes land in the official chapter. This keeps content stable when many people are collaborating.

Teams can publish help requests in the workspace — e.g. needing a co-author with a medical background, needing chapter source material, or inviting reader contributions. Individual entries can be made public, and signed-in users can respond directly.

After all chapters are done and the book enters full-book proof, the team can submit platform release checks. Once release checks and launch configuration confirmation are complete, the book becomes live and appears in the bookstore.

Live books can be read in the platform bookstore and online reader. External channels such as Kindle or Apple Books appear only when the creation team grants a separate authorization.

Yes. During full-book proof and after a book is live, any signed-in user can submit typos, factual corrections, wording suggestions, etc. The team decides whether to accept them, and accepted errata are publicly credited on the book page.
