Publishing software for independent publishers
Stay in control — from metadata to royalties.
Manusphera replaces spreadsheets with one connected, auditable flow for title data, sales, inventory, contracts and settlements.
One flow from manuscript to settlement
Every stage builds on the previous one, so the numbers stay connected throughout.
Metadata
Works and formats are registered once with ONIX-ready metadata.
Channels & import
Sales channels are connected and sales data is imported without duplicates.
Sales & inventory
Every sale updates revenue and stock in the same movement.
Contract
Contract rates and tiers determine what each contributor is owed.
Settlement
Royalties are calculated reproducibly and locked with complete history.
Reporting
Title economics and annual reporting use the same verifiable figures.
All publishing operations — in six modules
The modules are connected from the ground up, so figures never need to be entered twice.
Titles & metadata
Works and formats with ONIX 3.1, Thema categories and accessibility metadata.
Sales & import
Imports are idempotent: the same file twice never creates duplicate sales.
Inventory & print runs
A movement ledger makes every stock balance explainable, movement by movement.
Contracts
Versioned contracts with rate tiers, advances and reserves preserve the terms that applied.
Royalties & settlements
Reproducible, locked settlements with PDF and complete history.
Reports & economics
Title economics, contribution margin, break-even and annual reporting based on the same figures.
Contributors can follow along
Each contributor has a portal with their own titles, sales and settlements.
- Own titles and sales, always up to date
- Settlements with PDF and calculation basis
- Access only to their own data
Security & compliance
Publishing data is business-critical. Security is built in from the first database migration.
Controlled data processing
External providers are assessed before use for data minimisation, access control, encryption, data use and incident handling.
Two-factor login
Access requires a password and a one-time code, enforced all the way to the database.
Full tenant isolation
Each publisher's data is separated with Row-Level Security in the database.
Audit trail
All critical writes — sales, contracts and settlements — are logged.
GDPR workflows
Export and anonymisation of personal data are built-in workflows.
Built for the Danish book market
ONIX with the Danish DBK profile, Bogportalen imports and Danish settlement practice are built in from the start. Manusphera was created by a Danish micro-publisher for the everyday work of independent publishers.
Manusphera is in controlled beta
We admit a limited number of publishers at a time while the platform matures. Join the waitlist and we will contact you when there is room.
