Toolchest HelpGetting Started

Welcome to your Author Console

Your console is organised the same way down the left-hand sidebar: Home, Books, My Page, Marketing, Sales, and Community. Home is your at-a-glance overview. Books is where you add and price what you sell. My Page groups everything that appears on your public author page: Profile & Design, Blog, and Events. Marketing groups everything aimed at growing and reaching readers: Subscribers, Email Campaigns, Review Copies (ARCs), Press Kit, and Promos. Sales groups your money: Sales (orders, payouts owed) and Analytics (charts over time). Community is an authors-only forum — readers never see it. If you're on a free trial, a banner at the top counts down the days left. Nothing locks until the trial actually ends — you have full access to every feature for the whole 14 days, no card required. See "Your 14-day free trial and upgrading" for what happens at day 14. "View My Site" in the top of the sidebar opens your live public page at yourslug.bulletpointpublishing.com in a new tab — the fastest way to see what a reader sees after you make a change.

This is what your own Indie Author Toolchest dashboard looks like. Free for 14 days, no card needed.
