Found celebrates three years of success

Print Solutions

Found was set up to take the content posted online by influencers with large followings and monetise it by turning it into high quality books. It has signed up creators across the UK and USA, many of whom have hundreds of thousands of followers across their channels, with videos that have been – in many cases – viewed millions of times.

The main bulk of Found’s authors publish cookbooks but they also include lifestyle, fitness, wellbeing and nostalgia.

Since its launch, Found has sold more than 270,000 books with 345 different titles, earning some of the creators’ life changing amounts of money.

In late 2024 the company started to offer books from a handful of selected creators via out outlets, resulting in 15,777 being bought via Amazon and more than 2000 through TikTok. It also now has some titles available as digital downloads, with 24,372 of this version sold so far.

Louise Stephenson, managing director, is proud of the fact the company has disrupted the normal publishing industry. ‘Found has given people who would normally not get a publishing deal the opportunity to turn their content into books,’ she said. ‘The normal route of getting a book to print – find an agent, try and get a publisher – is no longer necessary.

‘We not only have created a really exciting and accessible way through this process but we are also to speed it up. Concept to creation can take as little as 60 days, as opposed to months if not years by the more traditional route.

‘We are very excited about what we have achieved in the last three years and look forward to what the future holds.’
