Write or import the manuscript. Set the interior typography. Design the cover with exact spine math. Export print files and EPUBs built to retailer spec. Then manage your authors, your team, and your release calendar — in the same place, without ever leaving Authorics. And every book stays plain files you own.
Founding members get 50% off for life in exchange for honest pilot feedback. No spam — a handful of build updates, then your invite.
You wrote the book. Getting it into stores shouldn't mean a formatter invoice every time you fix a typo.
Replace the spreadsheet, the Dropbox folder, and the email chains with one system your whole press works in.
Not a promise of features to come — this is the production system behind our own press, opened up. Here's what the app does today.
Distraction-free writing view with a chapter sidebar, front/main/back matter organization, and every save versioned. Editors and authors work on the same live manuscript — no more v7_FINAL_final.docx.
Upload a .docx and get a clean, chaptered manuscript ready for production. Your images come along and stay linked through print and ebook builds.
Pick trim size, font, size, line spacing, margins, justification, hyphenation, drop caps, and scene-break style. The interior is professionally typeset from your choices — change your mind and rebuild in minutes, free.
Print PDFs built to Barnes & Noble Press, KDP, and IngramSpark specifications, and EPUBs validated with EPUBCheck before you ever upload. The exact pipeline that ships our own books to stores.
Full-wrap covers at exact spec dimensions, spine width computed from your live page count, barcode zone handled. Upload art, place your title, tweak until it's right — and get both a print wrap and an ebook cover.
Author profiles with photos and bios that flow into the books themselves. Invite editors and authors with per-book permissions — authors ride free, and you decide who can write, review, or just read.
Every title's dates on one screen, so the season is a plan instead of a scramble. Built for the rhythm small presses actually run: overlapping titles, shared editors, hard retailer deadlines.
Underneath it all, every book is plain Markdown and YAML — readable in any text editor, exportable any time. If Authorics vanished tomorrow, your entire list would still open on your laptop.
On the roadmap: AI beta-reading reports (pacing, continuity, clarity — chapter by chapter) and AI cover-art generation with full provenance tracking. We only list what's built above; these are next.
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. Every feature exists because our own titles needed it.
Manuscripts are your crown jewels, so we refuse to hold them hostage. Every book in Authorics is plain files with one-click export of everything — the opposite of the proprietary-format trap. Leave whenever you want and take a complete, working copy of your list with you.
