Not a course. Not a guide. It’s actual software that builds on your goals.
The self-publishing process is gnarly. To get a book from “I have an idea” to “it’s published!” an author has to complete 60-80 milestones spanning multiple vendors, wade through conflicting information spread willy-nilly across the internet, and all without getting fleeced by predators in the author services industry.
That's ridiculous. Instead, let Frontlist plan out your entire launch timeline, track your launch date, collect the reviews, run the promos, and help you write your blurbs… and give you the right information based on your goals.
No More Overwhelm or Confusion
A charted path. Clear instructions. Easy "do it for me" automations. And no extra fluff.
Frontlist doesn’t just plan: automations, reminders, templates and instructions abound. Get daily guidance through the 60+ different milestones necessary to get your book launched on time and on point.
This happens in the app, one day at a time.
Get access to vetted illustrators, designers and other creative folk so you don’t waste weeks finding them yourself (and hoping you made the right choice). We only work with services we've personally used.
These are hidden in the bat cave
Hi, I'm Tara. Nice to meet you!
I self-published my first book in 2021. I learned the launch process from scratch, hopping from courses, to tutorials, to begging for help in forums. I was shocked at what a mess the entire process was!
Prior to publishing, I had a long career in software design. Turning chaos into a fun process has been my lifelong bread-and-butter. So… I saw a problem, and I fixed a problem. Welcome to Frontlist, the result of an indie author who also knows how to build software, and who loves her community.
Come join me on this magical, mystery book-launch ride,
Tara Kelly, CEO
