Tablo Publishing is a self-publishing platform.
History
[edit]Tablo was founded early in 2013 by Australian Ash Davies at age 19. Davies started the company after a challenging experience in publishing his own book.[1]
The initial idea was accepted into the AngelCube startup accelerator in Melbourne, which invested $20,000 of capital into the company and incubated the startup for three months.[2] Following the launch of its online book creation and publishing application late in 2013, Tablo secured an additional $400,000 in funding from a number of Australian and American angel investors, including Catch Of The Day CEO Paul Reining and Y Combinator partner Kevin Hale.[3]
Tablo's original product was a browser-based application that allowed authors to create and self-publish eBooks to stores such as Amazon and the iBooks Store. Tablo relaunched as a social writing and reading community in July 2014.[4]
In April 2018 Tablo introduced paperback publishing and expanded its distribution network via a print on demand service.[5] [6]
