From founder Ethan Ellenberg:
“I created Royalty Reminder to manage every contract that my literary agency is a party to and I created it to be the ideal tool—simple, easy to use, foolproof, comprehensive. We use it to track more than 2500 agreements; it includes every possible agreement an author can enter into to earn money.
What makes Royalty Reminder valuable is not only what I chose to include, but what I chose to leave out. I created it to focus on the essentials and only the essentials, to be easy to use to maximize income and value.
It also has a complete section explaining book publishing agreements, written for someone who has absolutely no knowledge of publishing.
By using our email reminder service you don’t have to remember a thing—Royalty Reminder will remind you of the due date for each royalty statement, the day the agreement terminates or when to check its’ in print status. You program it, using our templates, to be the ideal customized tool for yourself.
It’s not just a matter of money, though publishing agreements can continue to earn money for many years. It’s also an essential tool to create a permanent record of the legal status of everything you’ve created so you will never lose track of it.
Instead of a computer file with a list of agreements and due dates or a filing cabinet full of paper agreements, Royalty Reminder is a permanent record of everything you’ve ever sold, safely stored in the cloud, with a reminder service that will never let you forget when you are owed money or a statement or when it’s time to make new decisions about your intellectual property.
With Royalty Reminder you can share or transfer your account, seeing your literary works are cared for according to your wishes indefinitely.
But let’s end by talking about money. Ebooks and the internet have created a new earnings reality for authors. Reverted and republished books and ebook originals have changed the fundamental value of intellectual property for today’s author. Your old books can earn new money, you can extend and enhance your career by publishing original ebooks. You must keep track of every contract you’ve ever signed and make sure that book is working for you. Welcome to Royalty Reminder.”
