Get started

Are you writing a book, or do you help someone else publish one?

Both accounts are free to create. What happens after that depends on what you are here to do.

I'm an author

Create your Author Profile for free. When you're ready to actually manage a book, add it for $40, once per book.

That unlocks the interactive tools for that book:

  • Track your checklist progress
  • Manage tasks and deadlines
  • Keep contacts, submissions, and outreach in one place
  • Build your public book page and media information
  • Come back anytime. No subscription.
Create your free Author Profile

I work with authors

Create a free professional account to understand the process, work with your clients, and keep the books you are helping with in one place.

You get:

  • Your own professional profile and directory listing
  • One private book of your own, to try the process yourself
  • One free book to give to an author you work with
  • The ability to collaborate on books your clients share with you
  • Basic access to the directories

Professional Search (the advanced directory filters) is available separately.

Everything you can read on AuthorChecklist is free: explanations, directory records, guides, templates, glossary terms, Author Profiles, and professional profiles.

Authors pay $40, once per book when they want the interactive tools for that book. Publishing professionals use the site for free and pay separately only if they want the advanced filters.
