Hey Product Hunt!

I'm Lyubomyr, the founder of AuthorOps.

I've spent over 10 years working in book formatting and production, completing more than 4,200 projects. During that time, I noticed something: for independent authors, writing the book is only part of the challenge.

The rest involves managing files, editions, metadata, publishing deadlines, ARC readers, reviews, and promotions — often across countless spreadsheets and disconnected tools.

That's why I built AuthorOps.

It's a workspace for everything that happens around your books, from manuscript preparation to publishing and beyond.

What makes AuthorOps different?

Book-centered workspace instead of scattered spreadsheets.
Google Drive integration to keep your book files in your own storage.
Publishing checklists and a visual Launch Pipeline.
Metadata, ISBNs, editions, and KDP keyword organization.
ARC reader management, reviews, and marketing planning.

AuthorOps isn't another AI writing tool. It's designed to make the business and organization side of self-publishing easier.

You can start completely free with your first book — no credit card required.

I'm actively improving the platform and would genuinely appreciate your feedback.

A question for independent authors: What's the most frustrating or time-consuming part of managing your publishing workflow?

Thanks for checking out AuthorOps!
