Managing consignment shouldn't feel like a second job.
Spreadsheets can't tell you which books are on which shelf, or how many are left.
Authors have no visibility into their sales until a bookseller remembers to send a report.
Settlements happen late, if at all — calculated by hand, prone to errors, and painful to track.
“We built ConsignWrite because we lived this problem. A busy indie bookstore. A growing list of consignment authors. And a spreadsheet that was never going to be enough.”

Booksellers and authors, finally on the same page.
Managing twenty consignment authors used to take hours every month. Now I can generate all our settlements before my second cup of coffee.
For the first time, I actually know which of my titles are selling and where. That information used to just disappear into the void.
The genre filtering in the discovery marketplace is exactly what I needed. I found three booksellers who specialize in romantasy within a week of signing up.
