Pubslush began with a mother-daughter team who wanted to create a more democratic process for printing literary works. It is a niche crowdfunding platform whose goal is to help authors, publishing professionals, and literary trendsetters raise funds for books, test market viability of literary works, and connect with literary projects of interest. Through this platform, authors can either raise funding for getting a literary work in print or launch a campaign where customers can pre-order books.

Fund Type
Publush uses an "All or Nothing" fund type, meaning that goals must be met in order to receive funds. It is a hybrid of all or nothing and keep what you raise used by Pubslush to determine which projects will be viable in the marketplace. Pubslush does utilize a vetting process that limits the scope of campaigns approved to use their platform. Pubslush reviews all projects before giving approval to utilize their funding platform. Projects must be reviewed for grammar, spelling, and formatting before receiving approval. A project may be rejected if rewards are viewed as unrealistic. Projects who fail to meet requirements may be rejected by Pubslush and unable to use their funding platform.Maximum Allowed Raise
Campaigns must set a minimum funding goal that must be met before funds can be allocated to a project. Pubslush requires a minimum of at least $500 which must be reached before funds can be received.Receiving Funds
Once a campaign is successfully completed, authors have the option of including a buy now button to their profile. This allows users to direct supporters of their work directly to Amazon to purchase their book.Administrative Work Options
Pubslush provides successful campaigns with advanced analytics about their supporters. The report includes factors such as age, gender, geography, and traffic source. These analytics provide authors with invaluable information as they move their book into the marketplace.The Bad
