Run the whole roster from one place.
Every author, every title, every format — published, sold, and grown on one platform. And every reader who turns up becomes a relationship, not a receipt.
One catalog. Every author in it.
Bring authors on as owned or affiliated. Their titles carry your imprint everywhere a reader meets them, and the numbers all land in the same dashboard.
Every title under your imprint
Publish authors you own outright, or invite independent authors to affiliate with you. Their books join your catalog and your public imprint page — and a title can be handed back to its author whenever the deal ends.
One dashboard for the whole roster
Sales, revenue, and reader activity across every author and every title, in one place instead of thirteen author logins. Free from the first book.
Royalty rates that match your deals
Start with a single split applied across the roster. On Business, set a rate per author and a split per book — because the deal you signed with your lead author is not the deal you signed with your debut.
Payouts that handle more than one name
A co-author, a translator, an illustrator, a foreword — multi-contributor splits pay everyone their share out of the same sale, on the same schedule, without a spreadsheet in the middle.
Run your clients' accounts without holding their password.
You already do the work. Manager access is the formal, revocable version of the arrangement — and the Studio is where the production actually happens.
Manager access
You request access to a client author's account. They accept from their own settings — and they can revoke it in one click, which takes effect on the very next request. No shared logins, no password in a doc, no awkward handover.
- Titles, covers, interiors, and metadata
- Offer pages, shares, and access forms
- Campaigns, ambassadors, and their CRM
- Every mutating action written to an audit log
- Their billing and subscription
- Their Stripe Connect onboarding and payout banking
- Plan changes on their account
- Deleting their account
Free publishers can manage up to 2 client accounts. Agency and above are unlimited.
The Studio
A production workspace, not a launcher. A job is one tool run on one manuscript — copyediting, ebook conversion, print interiors, covers, metadata, translation, audiobook — on a board with live status you can actually work from.
Run a job on a plain upload with no client attached, or on a client's live title. When it's ready, hand it off: they review it in their own account and either approve it or send it back with changes.
Copyediting, ebook conversion, print interiors, covers, and metadata run on any tier. The translator unlocks on Agency and above. Audiobooks are billed per production.
Your readers are the roster's best marketing.
The activation layer authors get, run at catalog scale — and billed on your own Stripe account, not ours.
A membership built around your catalog.
Comp seats for your launch team and your authors' inner circles; paid seats for readers who want in. Every active member — comped or paying — gets full reader access to the books in the program and a toolkit for putting them in front of other people.
Launches your whole roster can pull on.
A goal, a leaderboard, and an honest view of who actually moved the needle. Campaigns are free for every publisher — the same way they're free for an author on the free plan. Attaching a custom offer or setting bonus tiers is where Business starts.
Stop launching one book at a time.

Every tier is a real working publisher account — the ladder is about how much of the roster you're running, not whether you can get in the door.
