Book royalties
made beautifully simple

We built this because royalty runs
were becoming a nightmare
Publishing hundreds of books for hundreds of authors meant wrestling with spreadsheets, currency chaos, and endless manual calculations. Sound familiar?
Spreadsheet Hell
Multiple sales files, complex formulas, version chaos. One wrong cell and everything breaks.
Currency Nightmares
USD from Amazon, EUR from Gardners, GBP from LS. Converting each one manually. Every single time.
Days of Dread
Royalty season meant clearing your calendar. A process that should take hours took the entire week.

Real feedback from independent publishers like you.
"As a small independent publisher, managing our sales data and royalties payments has for too long been a horribly painful aspect of running our business, and we've been looking for an affordable, professional software to help us for years now.
Royalties HQ has come to our rescue, and is an extremely impressive, intuitive and user-friendly software, which is affordable, and is designed to work for publishers of any scale, and with any number of complicated and unconventional royalty arrangements.
It is such a huge relief to be up and running, and to no longer dread our next royalty run. I can't recommend it highly enough."
"After years of searching for a program to help our small publishing company manage the daunting task of royalty tracking, we have finally found the answer in Royalties HQ. What was a dreaded cumbersome task, requiring months of work, Royalties HQ has transformed to a straightforward series of steps resulting in detailed reports and customizable statements for our royalty holders.
The system is modern, attractive and easy to navigate. Additionally, so much information that was previously scattered about in various folders and spreadsheets has now coalesced into this one beautiful program. Dan provided stellar customer service as he took time to transfer our data to RHQ and help us learn the ropes. Royalties HQ was the most beneficial and significant upgrade to our business this past year.
Highly recommended!"
