Feature
Author Management
Invite authors, set revenue splits, track manuscripts, pay royalties.
One-click author invites
Send an invite link. Authors accept with one click — no account setup, no forms. They immediately see their royalty dashboard, book assignments, and payment history. No more WhatsApp coordination.
Revenue splits per author
Set a unique revenue split for each author based on their contract type. Distribution deals at 5%, standard contracts at 15%, traditional at 35% — or any custom percentage. PublisherKit calculates the rest.
Manuscript tracking
Track where each manuscript is in the pipeline: submitted, under review, editing, typesetting, approved, published. Assign editors and track status changes over time.
Author portal
Authors get their own portal. They see their books, royalties, payment history, and contract details. No more monthly WhatsApp updates or emailing screenshots of spreadsheets.
Author lifecycle
From first contact to active author to backlist management. Track author status, contract renewals, upcoming deadlines, and communication history. Every interaction logged.
Bulk operations
Import authors from a spreadsheet. Send bulk invites. Generate royalty statements for all authors at once. Operations that took hours now take minutes.
How competitors compare
Google Sheets can't send author invites. Gumroad doesn't support multiple authors. Notion Press owns your author relationships. PublisherKit keeps your authors yours.
