Manuscript pipeline (drafting → editing → proofing → live), author roster with contract status, KDP + IngramSpark royalty ingestion, ISBN + copyright registration tracker, quarterly author statement runs. The bookish back office that keeps a small press from drowning in spreadsheets.
Only the publisher opens it. Authors get their own read-only view on the Author Portal plugin (their royalties, their titles, their next statement). Below: four of the pages that ship in the base publishing build.
Add-on plugin. Each author gets a magic-link URL (email me my link) that shows only their titles, royalties, and next statement. Nothing else. Read-only. Kills the endless "when do I get paid?" email thread.
The calendar reads your Compliance board directly — ISBN filings, copyright registrations, author 1099s, distributor royalty deposits, quarterly statement runs all show up on the day they are due. Add a book launch or a book fair, it appears wherever it belongs. Reminders fire 30-day lead so nothing slips.
Same plugin architecture as every industry we build for. The Wired-in Calendar plugin reads Titles, Authors, Royalties, Rights, and Compliance data automatically. When you add the Author Portal, authors see only their own royalties. When you add Distributor Auto-Ingest, KDP and IngramSpark statements ingest into your ledger without CSV downloads. Plug it in once. Everything else knows about it.
