For publishing teams

Built for teamsYour whole press, on every book

Give editors, production staff and bookkeepers the access their work needs, and keep authors and agents in a portal of their own. Nobody pays for a seat.

  • No per-seat pricing
  • Unlimited team members
  • Authors and agents included

Everyone on the book, nobody in the wrong place

Ninefold Press is four people and one author on The Moth Orchard. Here is how they share the work.

Roles and invitations

Give each person the access their job needs.

Invite people by email and pick a role. Administrators run the organization. Collaborators work on every book but leave members, billing and statement sending to administrators. Viewers see the same books read-only, and staff contributors see only the books they are on.

  • Four team roles, changeable at any time
  • Choose who can spend editorial credits
  • Require passkeys for everyone with organization-wide access

Book message boards

One conversation per book, with the news posted for you.

Every book has a message board for the team, the author and their agent. Mention someone to bring them in, reply in threads, pin what matters and attach the book’s files. When a contract is fully signed, Familiar posts it on the board and emails everyone following the book, the agent included.

  • Mentions, threaded replies and pinned messages
  • Book files attached to messages
  • Email notifications, or mute a book you don’t follow

Production tasks

Every task has an owner and a date.

Tasks on a book’s production schedule are assigned to a person, including the author. Each person sees what is theirs and when it is due, and checks it off when it is done. Authors complete theirs, like a questionnaire, by filling in a form.

  • A task list for each person
  • A due date on every task
  • Form tasks for authors
