Independent publishing house Cruikshank & Wallace launched a unique NFT project to empower children's book creators to tell their stories without relying on traditional sales or publishing systems. This publishing model using NFT funding explores new avenues for monetization in Web3, all the while supporting literacy programs so that even more young readers have access to stories they will love.
For the launch of 'I am the Frankenstein Monster,' an NFT edition will be created and it will fund the printing and distribution of physical copies of the book.
Non-fungible tokens allow creators to retain ownership of their content rather than having to hand it over to the platforms they use to publicize it. And this new NFT project, children's book creators can fund the printing and direct-to-consumer distribution process without relying on traditional publishing.
