Description

Start a Press offers a comprehensive white-label platform tailored for independent publishers, book coaches, ghostwriters, and organizations that assist authors in bringing their books to market. Each publishing entity can access a customized website, storefront, author interface, and publishing workspace, all managed by an AI agent linked to the press's ChatGPT account. The platform's publishing process encompasses various stages, including responding to author inquiries, drafting quotes, intake of manuscripts, copyediting, and producing cover and interior layouts, along with managing metadata and distribution via the press's IngramSpark and Amazon KDP accounts. Publishers are also equipped to import sales reports, calculate royalties, manage treaty withholdings, and monitor author tax documentation. Designed to maintain the integrity of the press's brand, domain, ISBNs, author connections, and revenue, the platform ensures that all contracts and payments require owner approval. Pricing plans vary based on catalog size and include a monthly subscription fee alongside an initial setup cost. Additionally, Start a Press streamlines the publishing process, allowing independent presses to focus more on their creative endeavors.
