Liabilities (royalties) are based on your actual receipts--not simply what you invoiced.
Fine-tuned control over discounts, royalties, and inventory
Unmatched customer support and personal service
Start invoicing in minutes!
Web-accessible for use on PC, Mac, Linux, mobile phone, etc.

“We have used Ron’s Publishers Assistant program to run our distribution, publishing and wholesale businesses. We started off with just three products and now have well over 2,000 products and many hundreds of customers. Along the way we have faced many challanges to our computer systems, and one hundred precent of the time Ron has been able to meet those challanges. Ron is a true professional and has been a great vendor. I highly recommend his services.”
Tom Doherty, Cardinal Publishers’ Group
