For Self-Publishing Services

PublisherKit for Self-Publishing Services

You offer publishing services to authors. PublisherKit runs the backend.

You help authors publish their books. Editing, cover design, formatting, printing, distribution. Each author is a client with a unique package and revenue arrangement.

PublisherKit manages the operational complexity. Track which authors have which packages, calculate royalties per service agreement, organize your book catalog, and give authors visibility into their royalties — without building custom software.

How self-publishing services use PublisherKit

Client author management

Each author is a client with a service contract. Track their package type, deliverables, manuscript status, and payment terms. All in one dashboard instead of scattered across CRM, email, and spreadsheets.

Revenue split per package

Different packages, different splits. Distribution-only at 5%, full-service at 25%, custom deals at any percentage. PublisherKit calculates royalties per author's specific arrangement.

Author-facing portal

Give your author clients a professional portal. They see their books, royalties, and payment history. No more monthly update emails. Your service looks professional and established.

Production pipeline

Track each manuscript through your production pipeline: received, editing, design, formatting, proofing, published. Know where every project stands at a glance.
