For Indie Publishers
PublisherKit for Indie Publishers
You have 10-50 authors. It's time to stop using spreadsheets.
You started with 3 authors and a Google Sheet. Now you have 20 authors, 60 books, 5 different contract types, and monthly royalty calculations that take an entire weekend. The spreadsheet is groaning.
PublisherKit is built for publishers exactly your size. Not enterprise software that takes months to set up. Not a generic CRM that doesn't understand publishing. A focused tool that does what you actually need: manage authors, track royalties, organize contracts, and run your catalog.
How indie publishers use PublisherKit
Monthly royalty reconciliation
Instead of spending 8-10 hours per month on royalty calculations, PublisherKit auto-calculates based on each author's contract. Record sales, and royalties compute instantly. Generate statements with one click.
Author onboarding
New author? Send an invite link. They accept, see their dashboard, and you never have to explain 'how to check royalties' again. No more WhatsApp screenshots.
Contract management
Stop storing contracts in Google Drive folders. PublisherKit links every contract to its author, books, and royalty terms. Change a contract, and royalties recalculate automatically.
Catalog organization
Your 60 books across paperback, ebook, and audiobook formats need structure. PublisherKit tracks every title, every format, every ISBN — with status tracking from manuscript to published.
Financial reporting
How much did you pay Author X last quarter? Which title earned the most this month? Which contract type is most profitable? Answers in seconds, not hours of pivot table work.
