Publishing Project Guides: Books, Journals, Authors, and Royalties

Publishing software has to follow a work from manuscript through review, production, rights, and royalties. These twelve guides cover book and journal publishing, author platforms, manuscripts, ebooks, editorial work, and rights, each built around the record its team actually uses.

Frequently asked questions

Which publishing guide should I start with?

Start with the step that causes the most rework or delay: royalties for disputed statements, manuscripts for lost submissions, or rights for double-sold licences.

Do these guides cover small publishers?

Yes. Each guide describes a first version for one press, one journal, or one title list, then explains what changes with more titles or more journals.

Is publishing legal advice included?

No. The guides describe software records for contracts, rights, and royalties. Contract and rights decisions still need publishing and legal expertise.

Can one system cover all twelve areas?

Over time, yes, by sharing records for titles, authors, and rights. The guides recommend building one area properly first, then reusing those shared records.

How do I get one of these built?

Send an email or a WhatsApp message describing your publishing setup, the titles involved, and the record you struggle to produce. Cost depends on scope, so confirm with a quote.
