All your royalties. All your platforms. One place.
Most self-publishing authors track royalties in spreadsheets. MarketForge gives you a structured, searchable, chartable record of every payment from every retailer.
Structured notebook, not live API — you log data pulled from your retailer dashboards. No OAuth connections that break when Amazon updates their API.
Multiple currencies — store in the original currency. Display in your default currency. Historical records always show original values for accounting accuracy.
Portfolio and per-book views — see your total YTD earnings across all books, or drill into a single title and see which platform is performing best.
CSV export — export any royalty record set as CSV for your accountant or your own spreadsheet analysis.
MarketForge is designed for any self-publishing author regardless of which writing tools they use. Create book records manually — no .mfx file required.
Open your .mfx project file and title, genre, word count, and series information pre-populate automatically. The link is a convenience, not a dependency.
