ByteDance's publishing company, 8th Note Press, plans to release physical books.
After the monumental success of "BookTok" — a community of bibliophiles on the platform that discusses books and shares what they are reading — TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, started publishing digital books through its publishing company, 8th Note Press, last year.
8th Note Press is now teaming up with Zando, an independent publishing company, to release a line of print novels to sell in retail stores starting in 2025.
"This partnership marks an exciting new chapter for 8th Note Press," Jacob Bronstein, head of editorial and marketing, told Business Insider in a statement.
Debut novelist Sanibel — who writes under a mononym — sold her book "To Have and Have More" to 8th Note Press last year.
