Strategic Acquisition SOOP has a track record of growth through acquisitions, most notably the 2025 purchase of Planksip, indicating a willingness to expand content offerings and readership. This suggests opportunities to position complementary publishing or distribution partnerships that leverage their broader educational and thought leadership portfolio.

Author Engagement The platform structure focuses on educating and empowering authors via the three P’s production, platform, and pitch, coupled with milestone voting toward publishing contracts. This model creates recurring engagement and potential cross-sell of author services such as editing, design, and marketing as authors progress.

Publishing Services SOOP offers a la carte independent author services through a services marketplace, presenting a clear channel for upsell opportunities to authors who are already in the ecosystem and seeking professional support beyond publishing.

Revenue Train With reported revenue between one and ten million and a diverse set of services and acquisitions, there is room to propose scaled partnership deals, bundle offerings, and revenue-sharing models with SOOP’s growing author base and service marketplace.

Market Position SOOP operates at the intersection of traditional and self-publishing, emphasizing reader-driven funding and bridging gaps between authors and readers. This competitive positioning can be leveraged to pitch marketing partnerships, technology integrations, and distribution alliances that capitalize on audience-driven publishing trends.
