EVERYTHING AROUND THE BOOK
A complete author-operations workspace.
AuthorOps does not try to replace your writing software. It organizes the publishing work that begins around the manuscript and continues long after release.
Google Drive files
Keep originals in your own Drive while AuthorOps organizes versions, current files, notes, tags and book relationships.
Metadata Center
Control title, subtitle, description, KDP keyword slots, marketplace profiles and store-ready copy.
Editions & identifiers
Track eBook, paperback, hardcover, audiobook and other editions with ISBN, ASIN, price and status.
Launch Pipeline
Move a book through manuscript, editing, cover, formatting, ready and published stages with reusable checklists.
Contacts & collaborators
Keep editors, designers, ARC readers, reviewers and other publishing relationships linked to the books they support.
ARC, reviews & promotions
Track advance copies, follow-ups, review platforms, promotion schedules and campaign outcomes in one launch history.
Reminders & notifications
Surface due tasks, checklist deadlines, ARC follow-ups and promotion events before they disappear into a spreadsheet.
Media Kit
Assemble metadata, author bio, cover and approved assets into a reusable media-kit export for promotion and press.
Notes & tasks
Keep book-specific decisions and next actions connected to the title instead of scattered across unrelated apps.
Pen names & series
Manage pen-name profiles, author bios, series metadata and book order without duplicating the same information everywhere.
Publishing readiness
See what is missing before release — cover, manuscript, metadata, keywords, formats, identifiers and pricing.
YOUR FILES, YOUR DRIVE

Connect Google Drive and AuthorOps creates structure around your books while the source files remain in the storage account you control.
