Not a PDF, and not a drawing of a dashboard. Every picture below is the real Perfect Year screen. Here is your year, your swap admin and your money — and at the bottom, honestly, the parts that are not switched on yet.
If you would rather be told than read it: the same year, the same swap admin and the same royalties — in sixty seconds. The screens further down are the detail.
You answer some questions about how you actually write — your pace, your bad months, the weeks you are away. A strategist turns that into a twelve-month plan, and the plan opens as a live dashboard rather than a document you file and forget.
Each month gets a season, in plain words: a stacking window when you bank pages, a drafting valley with nothing to publish, a launch season, and — because it is true — a month labelled life gets stupid, where the plan expects less of you on purpose. Rest weeks are marked non-negotiable. Some months carry a ▶ button that does the job for you: find swap partners, assemble a box set.

Behind the year sits a production board: every book you have on the go, the stage it is at, and pace maths that tells you in January whether a December deadline is still real — not in week twelve when it is too late to move anything.
You log words as you go and move a book on a stage at a time. The board does the arithmetic and tells you early — while there is still room to move a date — rather than confirming the bad news in December.
Newsletter swaps are the part most authors quietly dread: the booking, the chasing, the copy-pasting of everybody's links the night before. This is the piece we take off you, and it is included rather than an add-on.

We draft the email in your voice and put it in front of you. Nothing goes out until you say yes, and nothing is ever sent under your name.
Once you add us as an assistant inside Bookclicker — a one-minute grant you can remove any time — your promos appear here without you forwarding anything.
Bookclicker wants a link to the email after a promo runs. We find it where we can and ask you only for the ones we genuinely cannot.
A missing link is reported as missing, never guessed. Every pen name you run is covered by the one grant.
Your units, KENP pages and royalties come from your own KDP account, refreshed every hour, and each pen name's money is kept separate. Anything we actually pulled from KDP is marked REAL. Anything worked out from a sales rank is marked ESTIMATE — because it is a guess, and a guess dressed up as a number is how authors end up planning against fiction.
Plenty of author software sells you the roadmap. Here is what you would be paying for today, and what you would not.
Everything shown above is live for paying accounts now. It is what your first month actually looks like.
Your plan is built by a strategist and reviewed with you every quarter. Reply to any of our emails and a person answers.
The newsletter engine drafts issues in each pen's voice and puts them through a quality check — but it is still running in shadow, and it has never sent anything to a reader. When it opens, you will be asked, not opted in.
The approval inbox exists and works on our own accounts. Connecting a client's social pages is gated behind work we have not finished, so it is not part of what you get today. We would rather say that than sell you a screenshot of it.
No. You answer questions about how you work, and a strategist builds the year around your answers. Two authors with the same books get different plans, because they do not have the same December.
No — the plan, the board and the royalty tracking work without it. The swap admin is the part that needs it, and you switch that on by adding us as an assistant inside your own Bookclicker account. One minute, no password, removable any time.
No. We draft; you send. That rule is deliberate and it is not going to change.
Yes. One account covers every pen name and every list you run, and each pen's money is reported separately.
It is month to month and you can cancel whenever you like. The current rate is $50/month for the first 50 authors, then $75/month — the sign-up page always shows the rate that applies right now, so check it there before you commit.
Answer them once and your year comes back built. If it is not for you, you will know inside the first week — and you can stop in two clicks.
