The Old Way

Writing and publishing is hard enough. Don't let royalty tracking slow you down.

You started writing to tell stories, not to debug Excel formulas at 2 AM. Manual royalty tracking creates stress, wastes time, and can put strain on collaborator trust.

The Awkward Money Talk

Your co-author asks "Can you show me how you calculated my share?" and suddenly your creative partnership feels like an interrogation. Money shouldn't come between collaborators.

The Pile of Guilt

Those sales report emails from Amazon and Kobo keep coming. You'll get to them eventually. Meanwhile, your collaborators wait, and the guilt grows with every unread notification.

Writing Time, Stolen

Every hour spent reconciling sales reports is an hour you're not writing your next book. You became an author to tell stories, not to play accountant on Sunday afternoons.

Everything you need to manage shared book royalties.

PubShare handles reporting, payouts, statements, and tax paperwork so you can focus on the next book.
