Start a Press is a white-label publishing operations platform for independent presses, book coaches, ghostwriters and organizations that publish books for authors. Each press can use a branded website, storefront, author portal and publisher workspace, with work coordinated by an AI agent connected to the press's ChatGPT account. Its publishing workflow covers author inquiries and quote drafts, manuscript intake and copyediting, cover and interior production, metadata, and distribution through the press's IngramSpark and Amazon KDP accounts. Publishers can import sales reports, calculate royalties, handle treaty withholding and track author tax forms. The platform is designed to preserve the press's brand, domain, ISBNs, author relationships and revenue, while keeping contracts and payments subject to owner approval. Plans are based on catalog size and carry monthly subscription charges plus an initial setup fee.
