The operating system for publishers

Run your whole press. Pay every author to the cent.

The store, the royalties, the contracts, the distribution to KDP — every piece of software a publishing house runs on, in one login. Authors get paid on time and can see exactly why. You keep the reader, the data, and 0% cut of your sales.

0% cut, ever · Unlimited titles and authors · Your ISBNs, your bank account

Authors don't leave over money. They leave over not knowing where it is.

Keep your authors

Pay every author on time, to the cent.

A late, fuzzy royalty statement is the fastest way to lose a writer — it’s why authors walk, and why they sue. Sales flow in, royalties calculate against each contract, and every author gets a portal to watch their own numbers in real time. The “where’s my money” email stops coming.

  • Royalties auto-calculated, per each contract
  • A real-time author portal — full transparency
  • Statements and on-time payouts via Stripe Connect

One source of truth

Every sale, from every channel, in one number.

Most presses can’t see what they actually sold — KDP here, Ingram there, direct somewhere else, reconciled by hand at midnight. PublisherKit pulls every channel into one live view, so the number you give your author is the number that’s true.

  • KDP, Ingram, Draft2Digital and direct, unified
  • Live sales, not a quarter-old guess
  • P&L per book, per author, per channel

Own your readers

Sell direct. Keep the reader, don’t rent them from Amazon.

Amazon hands you reach and quietly keeps the relationship — the customer, the email, the data, the margin. Your own branded storefront lets readers buy ebooks and print straight from you, so the audience you built is actually yours.

  • A branded bookstore on your own domain
  • Ebook and print, sold direct to readers
  • You keep the customer, the data, and the margin

Reach everywhere

Publish once. Sell on every shelf that matters.

Three million titles came out last year. Getting seen means being everywhere at once — so push a title to your store, KDP, and BookStand from one catalog, and update it in one place instead of five.

  • One catalog → your store, KDP, BookStand
  • No re-typing metadata into five dashboards
  • Editorial pipeline, manuscript to published
