For indie bookstores

Every consignment relationship. One place.

ConsignWrite replaces the spreadsheet with a real platform — inventory tracking, author management, settlement generation, and a marketplace to discover new titles for your shelves.

You champion indie authors. Your tools should too.

Your consignment inventory lives in a spreadsheet that only you understand.

Generating accurate settlement statements takes hours of manual calculation at the end of every period.

Authors email you asking about their sales and you have to dig through records to find the answer.

You'd love to stock more local and indie authors but don't know how to find them.

Built for the way indie bookstores actually work.

Consignment inventory tracking

Track quantities received, on hand, sold, and returned for every title from every author — updated automatically every time a sale is recorded.

Author relationship management

Manage every consignment author in one place. See their full catalog, your agreement terms, and their settlement history at a glance.

One-click settlement generation

Select an author and a date range. ConsignWrite calculates exactly what's owed, generates a line-item statement, and lets you pay directly through the platform.

Author discovery marketplace

Browse indie authors who are actively looking for bookstore partners. Filter by genre, hometown, and LGBTQ+ representation to find titles your customers will love.

Automated reminders

Authors receive notifications when a settlement is generated. You receive reminders when a settlement has been pending for too long. Everyone stays informed.

Sales reporting

See which titles are moving fastest, which authors are your strongest performers, and how your consignment revenue is trending month over month.

Choose the plan that fits your store.
