Authorics is the management system for small presses — authors, manuscripts, editing, covers, retailer-ready production, and your release calendar, together at last. Every book stays plain files you own.
Founding Presses get 50% off for life in exchange for honest pilot feedback. No spam — a handful of build updates, then your invite.
Replace the spreadsheet, the Trello board, the Dropbox folder, the InDesign invoices, and the email chains — without giving up control of your files.
Profiles with photos and bios that flow automatically into About-the-Author pages, back covers, and catalog data. Authors get free seats to work on their own books — at exactly the access level you set.
A clean writing view for authors, a source view for production. Underneath, every chapter is a plain Markdown file — download your whole list as ordinary files, any time, forever.
Print PDFs built to Barnes & Noble Press, KDP, and IngramSpark specifications, and EPUBs that pass EPUBCheck and accessibility review — the same pipeline that ships our own books.
Typography-driven covers at exact spec sizes, with spine width computed from your live page count. Upload your art, or generate options and refine. Barcode placement included.
Structured manuscript reports before you spend on human passes: pacing, clarity, continuity catches, age-appropriateness, and sensitivity flags — chapter by chapter.
Milestone templates per title, back-planned from release day: edit rounds, cover approval, ARC date, retailer upload deadlines. Your whole season on one screen.
Authorics isn't a startup's guess at how publishing works. It's the production system behind Mojave Publishing's nonfiction list and fiction line — real books, built to real retailer specifications, shipping to real stores. We're productizing the pipeline we bet our own titles on.
Manuscripts are the press's crown jewels, so we refuse to lock them up. Every book in Authorics is plain Markdown and YAML files with one-click export of everything. If we vanished tomorrow, your books would still open in any text editor.
