Publishers

Three ways to run a publishing house. None of them is the rule.

Bookloft doesn't impose how you work: royalty tiers, settlement periods, channels, VAT and advances are configured per house. What follows is where the shoe usually pinches in each case.

Independent house

Who: One or two people. A handful of titles a year and no time at all for admin.
Where it pinches: The bottleneck is reading: more submissions arrive than can be read, and the pile grows faster than the free afternoons. And every year, the royalty spreadsheet.
What changes: Every submission gets read the day it lands and arrives with a reasoned judgement. The royalty statement stops being a day's work. And authors stop emailing to ask how their book is doing, because they can see it.

Usually fits: Básico

Growing imprint

Who: A small team, a catalogue with real weight, and proper distribution.
Where it pinches: The problem stops being time and becomes consistency: metadata doesn't match between the distributor and the website, nobody quite knows the real stock, and press lives in one person's head.
What changes: A single book record that travels everywhere, a warehouse that reconciles with print runs and delivery notes, and publicity with a history instead of a notebook.

Usually fits: Pro

Group with several imprints

Who: Several lines or brands, with different teams and different judgement.
Where it pinches: Each imprint has its own editorial judgement and its own way of settling, and unifying them in one tool usually means somebody loses theirs.
What changes: Each imprint keeps its branding, its selection criteria and its terms, inside one house. White label is complete and analyses can run on your own keys.

Usually fits: Estudio or Publishing group

And if we work some other way?

Then it gets configured. That's the whole point: what one house does isn't the rule for the rest — not even what ours does. If something in the craft doesn't fit, write to us and we'll look at it. That's how everything else got built.
