AI Client Portal Builder for Independent Publishers
Independent publishers email the same updates over and over. A portal ends that: each reader signs in and sees their own file. Describe what belongs in it and Mythex builds it.
Who it's for
Independent publishers that send readers the same documents and updates by email and want them in one place instead.
What you can build
- A login where each reader sees only their own records
- Documents and files you upload, available to download
- Status or progress on print books and ebooks
- A message thread between the reader and your team
- A staff view listing every reader and their history
How independent publishers work
An independent publisher runs on a list: a handful of titles a year, each with a publication date set many months ahead, a print run, an ebook and sometimes an audiobook. Books reach readers through a distributor, bookshops, online retailers, festivals and the publisher's own site. Behind the scenes sit manuscripts in editing, ISBNs, metadata feeds, review copies and author events. Twice a year, royalty statements are pieced together from distributor spreadsheets. Software helps by holding one record per title that sales, stock and royalties all draw from.
What client portal for Independent Publishers has to handle
- Authors should be able to log in and see their royalty statements for every period.
- Proofs, cover drafts and marketing plans can be shared per title with the author.
- Each author needs a record of their contract terms, advances and whether they have earned out.
- Event invitations and publicity requests should be visible so authors can accept or decline.
A tip for independent publishers
Put every royalty statement in the author portal with the sales breakdown behind it. Authors who can see units by format and channel ask far fewer questions, and trust in your statements is what keeps them with a small press.
A prompt to start from
Build a client portal for an independent publisher. Readers log in and see only their own records: title, author, ISBN and publication date, files we uploaded for them, and the status of the work we are doing for them. Add a message thread per client and a staff area where our team can see everyone, add records, upload files and reply. Use a database with proper per-user access.
Questions
Can authors see their royalties in a portal?
Yes. Each author signs in and sees their own statements and title details. You can ask for it in chat and describe how your royalty periods work.
How does login work?
Ask for accounts and Mythex builds sign-in into the app. Each published app has its own users and its own data, separate from your Mythex account.
Can clients only see their own data?
Yes, and it is worth saying out loud in the prompt. Mythex scopes each query to the signed-in user, so one client cannot open another's records by changing a URL.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You describe what you want in plain language and Mythex writes the code, shows a live preview, and lets you change things by chatting. The code editor and terminal are there if you ever want them.
Do I have to explain my business every time?
No. Mythex remembers who you are and how you work across every project, and follows the standing notes you set for a project, so you are not re-briefing it in each new chat. You can read, edit or switch all of it off.
How much does it cost?
There is a Free plan with daily credits, enough to build and publish a first version. Pro is $25/month and adds full code editing, GitHub export, custom domains, and credit top-ups.
