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 keeps a record once you've paid.
Author discovery marketplace
Browse indie authors who are actively looking for bookstore partners. Filter by genre, city, and LGBTQ+ representation to find titles your customers will love.
Automated reminders
Authors are emailed when you issue a settlement. You're reminded when one is past its due date, and every week until it's paid. On every plan.
Sales reporting
See which titles are moving fastest, which authors are your strongest performers, and how your consignment revenue is trending month over month.
