Bubok

Bubok is a Spanish self-publishing platform and independent publishing house founded in 2008. It allows authors to publish their own books in both print and digital formats without needing a traditional publisher. The company operates through its website bubok.es, where authors can upload their manuscripts, choose publishing packages, and distribute their works to bookstores and online retailers. Bubok describes itself as the leading independent publishing house in the Spanish market, with more than 140,000 writers worldwide having trusted the platform. It offers a range of editorial services, including print-on-demand, ebook conversion, ISBN assignment, and distribution to physical and digital bookstores. In 2014, Bubok opened its first physical bookstore in central Madrid, located at Paseo de las Delicias 23, which also hosts presentations and cultural events. The company has partnerships with institutions such as the National Library of Spain, the Ministry of Justice, and the Germán Sánchez Ruipérez Foundation. Bubok also organizes the Bubok Awards, held since 2009, and has been involved in events like the I Bookathon to explore the impact of new technologies on publishing and reading. The current management team includes CEO Sergio Mejías, CFO Ruth Vicente, Editorial Director Ana Cuervo, and Technical Director Rafael Vega. Bubok continues to innovate in the publishing world, supporting independent authors and new editorial models.

Bubok was founded in 2008 with the idea of allowing authors to publish their own books (author edition) or works without the need for a traditional publisher. It emerged as a self-publishing platform in Spain, similar to other international platforms like Lulu.com. From its inception, Bubok aimed to democratize book publishing and to research the impact of new technologies on the world of publishing and reading. The company has maintained agreements with entities such as the National Library of Spain, the Ministry of Justice, and the Germán Sánchez Ruipérez Foundation for the dissemination of their catalogs. It has also organized events like the I Bookathon. On April 23, 2014, coinciding with the annual celebration of La Noche de los Libros in Madrid, Bubok opened its first physical bookstore, Librería Bubok, at Paseo de las Delicias 23 in Madrid, dedicated to publications by new authors. The Bubok Awards have been held since 2009, with the eighth edition taking place in 2016. As of recent years, Bubok has grown to host more than 120,000 registered authors and continues to innovate in the publishing world, supporting independent authors and new editorial models.
