I've run a small press for over 15 years now (Horrific Tales), and my biggest monthly headache was always the royalty run. It used to take me hours to combine all my data sources into a single source of truth just to work out who needed to get paid and how much. All the products on the market seemed to be cloud-based with hefty subscription models. I honestly did not want to send my sensitive financial data to a third-party cloud server, nor did I want to pay yet another monthly subscription. But I'm also a software professional with 30 years of experience, so I designed and built the exact tool I wanted to use. Imprint is a fully offline, local-first engine that: Combines 11 different vendor royalty statements into a single unified dashboard. Generates and emails branded author royalty statements with a couple of mouse clicks. Outputs PayPal Mass Payment files for instant global batch payouts. Lets you analyze backlist sales data across multiple platforms over your company's entire lifetime. With the help of our incredible design partners—Crystal Lake Publishing, Raw Dog Screaming Press, and Foolscap & Quill—Imprint has been stress-tested and developed to handle the most demanding small press business models. I'd love to know: for those of you managing multi-contributor projects or wide distribution, what is the most frustrating bottleneck in your current accounting workflow?
