About DashBook
Royalty accounting software for books, music, film, jewelry, etc. You can now experience the best royalty management software at such a very low price with no monthly fees. Version 6 (v7 now here!) is now faster and has options for reserves, withholding, and batch emailing royalty reports, on top of the extensive core system that has been in use for years. Import sales, create invoices, track sales and royalties, and distribute reports with ease -- DashBook Royalty Pro does it all! Contact us to learn more and have your distributors and vendors added to our long list of existing sales imports (Amazon Kindle, iTunes, Ingram, The Orchard, etc.) so you never manually enter sales again. Schedule a meeting to talk to us. We will help you. If there is something that DashBook cannot do (unlikely), we can add it for you.

Start a Press
Start a Press is a white-label publishing operations platform for independent presses, book coaches, ghostwriters and organizations that publish books for authors. Each press can use a branded website, storefront, author portal and publisher workspace, with work coordinated by an AI agent connected to the press's ChatGPT account. Its publishing workflow covers author inquiries and quote drafts, manuscript intake and copyediting, cover and interior production, metadata, and distribution through the press's IngramSpark and Amazon KDP accounts. Publishers can import sales reports, calculate royalties, handle treaty withholding and track author tax forms. The platform is designed to preserve the press's brand, domain, ISBNs, author relationships and revenue, while keeping contracts and payments subject to owner approval. Plans are based on catalog size and carry monthly subscription charges plus an initial setup fee.
