Roadmap
What authors have asked PenWriter for, and what the team plans to build. Every number here is a real vote from a real author. A new idea starts at zero.
Planned

Help guides you can read before you sign up
Today the step-by-step guides are inside the studio. This would put them on the public site so anyone can read them first.

More stores than Amazon
Send a finished book to other stores from one place, with what each store asks for checked first. You would still upload to each store yourself.

Picture books, colouring books and comics
Books where the pictures and the words share every page: planned in spreads, with the page counts Amazon expects for children's books, and a paperback layout made for pictures instead of long paragraphs.

Your own author page
A page of your own on the web where readers find all your books, your short biography and where to buy them, and where they can leave an email address to hear about your next book.
