Feature
Publishing Pipeline
Manuscript to marketplace. Four steps. Zero spreadsheets.
Manuscript intake
Every book starts as a manuscript. PublisherKit captures submissions with metadata: author, genre, word count, format, and submission date. No more inbox archaeology to find who sent what and when.
Editorial workflow
Move manuscripts through editing, typesetting, and proofing with structured stage tracking. Each stage has a clear owner and status. Know exactly which books are in editing, which are waiting on proofs, and which are ready to go.
Publish to marketplace
When a book is approved, publish directly to BookStand or export for other channels. Set pricing, assign ISBNs, upload covers, and mark the book as live. The pipeline doesn't end at 'done' — it ends at 'selling'.
Post-publication management
Books need updates: new editions, corrected reprints, metadata changes, price adjustments. The pipeline tracks post-publication activity so older titles stay current. Your backlist is an asset, not a graveyard.
How competitors compare
Spreadsheets have no pipeline — every book is a row with no workflow. Gumroad is upload-and-sell with nothing in between. PublisherKit gives you a structured path from manuscript to marketplace and beyond.
