Feature
Author Portal
A professional portal for your authors. One-click invite. Zero setup.
One-click invite
Send an invite link. Authors click it and they're in. No account creation forms, no password setup, no onboarding flow. They accept your invite and immediately see their dashboard. Friction: zero.
Royalty dashboard for authors
Authors see their earnings: total royalties, earnings by title, earnings by period. Clear, transparent data that answers 'how much did I make?' without a phone call to you. Updated as sales are recorded.
Payment history view
Every payment you've made to the author is logged: amount, date, period covered, payment method. Authors have a complete record. No more 'did I get paid for Q2?' emails.
Book assignments
Authors see which books are assigned to them, each book's current status, format availability, and pricing. They know exactly what's published, what's in production, and what's coming next.
Download royalty statements
Authors can download their own royalty statements for any period. Professional PDFs they can use for tax filing, financial planning, or their own records. Self-service — no publisher involvement needed.
Professional publisher branding
The portal carries your publisher name and identity. Authors see your brand, not ours. The portal builds trust — it shows you run a real operation with real systems, not a spreadsheet and a prayer.
How competitors compare
Google Sheets has no portal — you're emailing screenshots. Notion Press has a portal, but it's their brand, not yours. Gumroad gives creators a dashboard, not publishers. PublisherKit gives your authors a portal under your brand.
