For Literary Agencies
PublisherKit for Literary Agencies
You manage author careers across multiple publishers. PublisherKit tracks the author side.
Literary agencies sit between authors and publishers. You manage author careers, negotiate contracts, track royalties from multiple publishers, and handle submission pipelines. Your operational data is scattered across email, spreadsheets, and memory.
PublisherKit gives you a structured system for the author side of your business. Manage your roster, track contracts and their terms across publishers, monitor royalties, and give your author clients clear reporting — without building custom software or paying enterprise prices.
How literary agencies use PublisherKit
Author roster management
Your roster is your business. Track every author: their books, their publishers, their contracts, their earnings. One profile per author with everything linked. Know the state of every client relationship at a glance.
Royalty tracking across publishers
Author X has 3 books with Publisher A and 2 with Publisher B, each with different royalty rates. PublisherKit tracks earnings per publisher, per title, per period. Consolidated reporting across all publishers for each author.
Contract tracking
Track contract terms, renewal dates, rights granted, and reversion clauses. Get notified before contracts lapse. Full history of every deal you've negotiated — terms, advances, splits — all searchable.
Client reporting
Generate professional reports for author clients: earnings by title, earnings by publisher, payment history, upcoming renewals. Your authors see clear data instead of forwarded publisher emails.
Submission pipeline
Track which manuscripts are submitted to which publishers, response status, and outcome. Know where every submission stands so nothing falls through the cracks.
