Tech / Frontlist

Every title. Every format. Every platform. One shelf.

Frontlist tracks a book from manuscript to live, across every format and every store, so you always know what's actually done and what's still stuck.

Your first title is free, no credit card needed. $9.99/mo or $99/yr when you're ready for more.

The Problem

Going wide means going scattered.

One title, five formats, a dozen possible platforms, each with its own rules. Most authors end up tracking all of it across a spreadsheet, a notes app, and memory, until one of those fails.

Which format is actually live?

The ebook went out weeks ago. Is the paperback still in formatting, or did it upload and you forgot to check?

Which platform can't take it yet?

KDP Select locks a title out of every other ebook store until the term ends. Easy to miss until a submission bounces.

Who has the cover file?

Three titles, three designers, and no single place that says which cover is final and which is still a draft.

What Frontlist Does

Two things every author juggles, in one place.

Production

Every Format, Tracked

Every format of every title moves through its own pipeline: manuscript, edit, cover, formatting, proofread, uploaded, live. A paperback and an ebook of the same book can sit at completely different stages, and Frontlist shows you both without you having to remember which is which.

Platform Status

Every Store, Understood

For every format, Frontlist automatically lays out every platform that format can go on, and lets you mark each one not started, submitted, live, or blocked, with a note for why. Enroll a title in KDP Select and Frontlist understands that every other ebook platform is off the table until that exclusivity ends.

For Multi-Brand Catalogs

One account, every pen name.

Publish under more than one name? Label each title with the pen name it's published under, and a filter appears on your shelf the moment you're using more than one, so a catalog spanning several author identities stays organized instead of blurring into one undifferentiated list.

Built For

Every kind of book, not just novels.

Going Wide

The Exclusivity Switcher

Series & Nonfiction

The Multi-Book Juggler

Six books in a series, or a backlist of guides and workbooks, each in ebook, paperback, and audio. One shelf, not eighteen spreadsheet rows.

Beyond The Novel

The Format Completist

Coloring books, activity books, journals, cookbooks. Different formats, different storefronts, same need to know what's still missing.
