Marketing data, made clear, for small publishers

See your real-time marketing ROI.

Optimize faster, with confidence.

Hey, I'm Sarah. I help small publishers bring their sales, ad and metadata into one dashboard built around their books, then use AI to turn the numbers into faster decisions and reports your team will actually read.

One feed, everything else

Centralize your ONIX feed and build anything from it

Your ONIX feed already holds the truth about every book: titles, prices, pub dates, descriptions, covers. Make it the single source, and everything downstream stays accurate without re-typing a thing.

Your ONIX feedOne source of truth
  • DashboardsEvery title, series and imprint, always in sync with your metadata.
  • Your websiteBook pages that update themselves when a title, price or pub date changes.
  • CatalogsSeasonal and backlist catalogs built straight from the feed.
  • And moreSell sheets, retailer content and anything else your team needs.

The problem

You're juggling a lot of books, and a lot of logins.

It's YOUR data—tap into it.

Your sales, ad and metadata already exist. They're just locked inside a dozen retailer and ad platforms, each with its own login and export.

Stop with the manual entry.

Copying numbers from dashboards into spreadsheets is slow and error-prone. Connected sources update on their own.

Give up the weekly spreadsheet report.

No more pulling the same numbers every Monday. Your team and authors get clear, current reports without anyone building them by hand.

How it works

A guided service, not another tool to learn

Every publisher is different, so there's no template. I build a dashboard for your list, your sources and your team, then help you use it.

  1. 01

    We map your data

    I learn how your team works and connect the sources you already use, so nothing new has to be entered by hand.

  2. 02

    I build your dashboard

    A dashboard designed around your list: every title, series and imprint at a glance, with the metrics your team actually cares about.

  3. 03

    You decide faster

    AI-assisted analysis surfaces what changed and what to try next, and turns it into clear reports for your team and authors. I stay on as your guide.

Reader reviews

Get the signal from the noise

Pull out the gems from reader reviews and seamlessly incorporate them into your book description. AI sifts hundreds of reviews for the phrases readers keep coming back to, so your copy speaks their language.

    Odessa is a delight. I want to live in this bakery.

    Gerald the sourdough starter deserves his own series. Warm as a fresh loaf.

Book description

"Cozy, funny, and the mystery kept me guessing." — Reader review
