Tepa FOR CREATORS
Open your shelf

Your own shelf in a reading app

Your name, your books, your readers. Tepa brings its audience, you bring yours. Every book opens for two: an adult and a child, side by side or on a video call.

WHO WE ARE

A reading app that makes books too

Get it on Google Play For iPhone & iPad Web App

Tepa is a reading app for two. An adult and a child open the same picture book — side by side or over a video call — and the pages turn together.

We are here to help books keep pace — new formats, the topics kids ask about now, a home on the phone, and reading together across any distance. A book today is a space where an adult and a child meet.

WHAT YOU GET

A shelf, a workspace, and promo tools

Upload a finished PDF or build the book page by page. It goes on your shelf under your name, and you watch it get read.

Your own shelf
Your name on the cover, your link to share. Tepa readers find you in the catalog. Yours come straight to you.
Story builder
Static pages in any format, or animated pages with or without sound. Mix both in one book.
Creator workspace
Your books and your numbers in one place: who opens, who finishes, who comes back. Real readers behind every number.
Your book, your space
Pages are yours to design — any format, any layout. Add a promo for your printed books or a sponsor right inside the book.
Promo tools
Share and referral links that track the readers you bring. Feedback forms and quizzes built right into your pages.
Live readings BETA
Read your own book to a wide audience in a stream. Every listener’s pages turn with yours.
MONETIZATION

Your book earns in three ways

No public book store yet — big publishers are still finding their way to digital. Here is how a book on Tepa earns today.

1
Sell your printed books
Put a promo page for the paper edition, your other titles, or a sponsor inside the book. Readers who finish the digital version are your best buyers.
2
Earn from the readers you bring
Readers who come through your referral link are yours. We share a part of what Tepa earns from them with you.

If you have an audience and we're a match, we run a special sale for it — with our resources and partners behind it.
GET SPONSORED

Books that readers come back to get our support. We sponsor the creator, localize the book into other languages, and pitch it to the children's TV and streaming shelves we talk to.

AI POLICY

Use AI where it helps people read more

AI-made content is welcome on Tepa. It works well for fan stories, new episodes with your characters, interactive pages, animations, and learning formats — anything that gives a book its spark.

One test: does it help people love reading and spend more time with books? Then it belongs here.
