Stop losing a weekend a month to royalty reports.
Imprint reads your sales reports from every channel you publish through, applies each author's contract terms, and produces statements you can send. It runs on your own computer, and your figures never touch our servers.

What people say about us
WATCH IMPRINT IN ACTION
Built to be yours, not rented to you
It runs on your machine
Your financial data stays on your own disk, encrypted. No account, no cloud storage, nothing sitting on a server for someone to leak, sell or train a chatbot on.
We keep up with the retailers
When Amazon or Audible change their export format, the mapping update arrives in the app. In July, ACX moved most of the audio income to a tab that hadn't existed the month before. The fix shipped within the hour.
Statements in one click
Splits, tiers, advances and reserves all applied. Branded PDFs out to your authors, PayPal Mass Pay files for the payments, and a line-level audit trail behind every figure on every statement.
The licence is yours. Permanently.
We don't rent software, we don't hold your data on our servers, and we don't make you install a browser plugin to use something you've paid for.
Buy Imprint and the licence never expires. The standard licence includes twelve months of mapping updates, and after that they're optional. Let them lapse and the app carries on working exactly as it did the day before. You simply won't get the fix the next time a retailer moves the goalposts.
Or pay once for the lifetime licence and never think about it again.
No cloud storage. No AI features nobody asked for. No limits on what you can put in it.
Mac and Windows. Everything switched on for thirty days. No card required.
When you publish wide, the maths stops being simple.
Every channel reports differently, in a different currency, on a different schedule. Add an anthology with four contributors on separate splits, an author whose rate went up last March, and an advance that's half recouped, and a spreadsheet stops being adequate somewhere around the second format.
Imprint handles that part. Eighteen connectors read in one go. Exchange rates come from your own payment files rather than today's mid-market guess. Contract terms are set once and applied correctly every month, including the awkward ones.
Then it tells you things your spreadsheet never could: which titles earned out, which channels are quietly fading, and what a discount would do to your margin before you run it.

The Small Press Operating Manual
is everything I've worked out running Horrific Tales Publishing since 2011.
Acquisition, contracts, production, distribution, record keeping, royalties and the money, in twelve chapters and no filler.
It's free. It comes with five templates, including the data model I used for my own press, a break-even calculator, an ad tracker and the checklists I actually work from.
No software required, and none of it assumes you'll ever buy any.
