You have three responsibilities. We handle the rest.
No software to learn. No data to wrangle. No statements to format. You upload files, review reports, and send statements to your authors. Everything in between is ours.
We built the service around a simple principle: the publisher’s time belongs on publishing, not on royalty administration.
Upload your raw sales data
Send your distributor sales reports to a secure shared folder — monthly, in whatever format your distributors provide. CSV, XLSX, PDF — we ingest them all. No reformatting required on your end.
You do thisReview your liability and sales reports
Each month, we deliver a Publisher Insights report — a summary of your royalty liability, sales activity, and any data flags. Before statements go out, you review a draft cycle for accuracy. Two structured checkpoints. No surprises at period end.
You do thisSend branded statements to your authors
We generate professional, branded author royalty statements and a clean payment file. You approve them, send them to your authors, and execute payments. Financial control stays where it belongs — with you.
You do thisEverything else is our job.
We normalize distributor files from every major North American distributor into a single clean data set — regardless of how they arrive.
Your author contracts are mapped into our royalty engine — escalations, reserves, sub-rights splits, special sales rates, advance recoupment. Every clause, every author.
Machine calculation followed by human review. Every statement is verified before it leaves our desk. No exceptions.
Branded, audit-ready PDF statements for every author. Clean payment file with all payee details. Ready for your approval and distribution.
Complete, timestamped royalty history maintained for the life of your account. Full data export available on request — always.
New authors, new titles, new ISBNs, new distributor formats — we handle the updates as your catalogue grows. No change orders. No extra fees.
From signed agreement to live reporting in eight weeks. We run your most recent cycle’s data through our engine in parallel with your existing process — so you can validate accuracy before anything changes.
Data Vault Setup
Secure drive configuration, historical data collection, and initial kickoff call with your dedicated Client Manager.
Contract Ingest
Our team abstracts your author contracts — mapping terms, escalations, splits, and sub-rights into the royalty engine.
Parallel Run & Validation
We process your last cycle’s data through our engine and perform a three-point reconciliation against your previous reports.
Go-Live
System is fully calibrated. Monthly sales reporting begins with complete operational handover to your dedicated Client Manager.
Should you ever choose to bring your royalty department back in-house, we provide a full, structured data export of your entire royalty history at no additional cost.
Your data belongs to you. Always.
Pricing is tailored to your catalogue — not a one-size-fits-all subscription.
Your quote is based on three factors: title count, active author count, and distributor complexity. Every engagement includes a one-time implementation fee and a predictable monthly service fee — no per-statement invoicing, no reconciliation surprises.
A dedicated in-house royalty administrator costs $60,000–$100,000 annually in salary alone — before software, benefits, or onboarding. Mocenius delivers the same outcome at a fraction of that cost.
