I
The Inheritance
The moths came to the window the night my grandmother died, and every one of them was whispering. I counted forty before I stopped counting. They pressed against the glass in the shape of her name, and when I opened the latch, not one of them came in.
I sat with her until the candle failed. When the light went out the moths went with it, all at once, the way a held breath leaves a body.

ARC Review - Priya Nair
THE MOTH ORCHARD
In the morning there was a letter on the kitchen table, sealed in yellow wax that smelled of clover. The orchard was mine, it said, and the hives, and the debt that came with both. It did not say what the debt was. Grandmother had never been one for explaining.
Lord Ashgrave’s men came before noon. They stood at the gate and would not cross it, which told me more than the letter had.
“The orchard owes my lord a word,” the elder of them said, when at last I went down to meet them. “One word, spoken by the dead. He will have it back before the frost.”

An orchard. A debt. A word the dead won’t give back.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Familiar and how it can help your publishing workflow.
What is Familiar?
Familiar is an all-in-one publishing management platform that helps publishers and authors manage book royalties, contracts, submissions, editorial analysis, and project management. It replaces the spreadsheets, email threads, and disconnected tools that slow publishing teams down.
How much does Familiar cost?
Familiar uses usage-based pricing. Royalty management starts free for your first 10 books, then costs $1 per book per month. Editorial tools use a credit-based system starting at $5 per credit. Many publishing tools are free during our open beta. There are no setup fees and no long-term contracts.
Which book distributors does Familiar support?
Familiar supports all major book distributors including Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Draft2Digital, Asterism Books, IPG, Barnes & Noble Press, Kobo Writing Life, Google Play Books, ACX (audiobooks), Shopify, and more. You can also upload sales statements from any distributor in CSV or Excel format.
Is Familiar suitable for small presses?
Yes. Familiar is designed to scale from independent authors publishing a single title to publishing houses managing thousands of books. The first 10 books are free, so small presses can get started without any upfront cost. There is no per-seat pricing, so your entire team can use the platform.
How does royalty tracking work?
You upload sales statements from your distributors (or import them automatically). Familiar parses the sales data, applies your custom royalty structures, calculates multi-contributor splits with support for advances and tiered rates, handles currency conversions, and generates detailed payment reports. The entire process takes minutes instead of hours of manual spreadsheet work.
Can contributors see their own royalty data?
Yes. Familiar provides a contributor portal where authors and agents can log in to view their real-time earnings, download royalty statements, and track sales data across distributors. This transparency eliminates the back-and-forth emails that publishers typically deal with.
What editorial tools does Familiar offer?
Familiar offers AI-powered manuscript evaluation with scoring across literary merit, pacing, dialogue, and more. Additional tools include story beat extraction and narrative structure analysis, N-gram analysis for identifying overused phrases, line-by-line editing, proofreading, and AI content detection.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Familiar uses bank-level encryption (TLS 1.3) for all data transmission and encrypts all financial data at rest. We follow SOC 2 security standards and never share your data with third parties. Your sales data, contributor information, and manuscripts remain completely private.
