Your Author Business - Finally in One Place

You didn't become an author to wrangle spreadsheets, sticky notes, and seven different apps.

DottHQ brings your pen names, series, royalties, deadlines and tools together - so you can spend less time managing your business and more time writing the next book

Sound familiar?

  • Your royalty reports live in one folder.

  • Your launch plan lives in a notebook.

  • Your blurbs are buried in a Google Doc.

  • Your ad spend is in a spreadsheet you keep meaning to update.

  • and Your series bible is in… honestly, you're not sure anymore.

  • If you write under more than one pen name, double it.

You're running a real business - but the tools you're using were never build for the way Authors actually work

One calm, organised home for everything your author business needs to run

Dott HQ is built for Authors, by an Author

  • Pen names, series, and books in a database that actually understands how authors work — not a generic project tool you have to bend into shape.

  • Royalty tracking with built-in importers for the platforms you already sell on, so you can see what's actually earning without wrestling with CSVs.

  • A media library for your covers, blurbs, banners, and graphics — searchable, taggable, and never "where did I save that?" again.

  • A tools directory so you stop forgetting which apps you're paying for and what each one does.

  • Built for the way you work — accessible from your laptop, tablet, or phone, wherever the writing life takes you.

Ready to get started?

Hi, I'm Kylie,

The founder of Tech Savvy Writers and a writer and author just like you.

I built DottHQ because I needed it.

As authors you may have multiple pen names, juggling royalty reports across half a dozen platforms, losing track of which tools you are paying for, and watching your "author business systems" sprawl across spreadsheets, notebooks, and tabs you are afraid to close.

I tried every app I could find. Nothing fit the way authors actually work.

So I started building one that did.

DottHQ is being built carefully, with input from real authors and the people on this waitlist are the ones I'm building it for. If that sounds like you, I'd love to have you in.

Chat soon, Kylie

Want more than a tool?

join the

Author Hub community too

DottHQ is being built alongside the Author Hub — the Tech Savvy Writers community for authors who want to grow their business without losing their minds.

When you join the waitlist, you'll see a checkbox to join the Author Hub community for free. Inside, you'll get behind-the-scenes updates on DottHQ, early peeks at new features, and a warm group of fellow authors figuring this out together.

No pressure — tick the box if it sounds like your kind of place.

Founding Members

get Founding Member pricing

When DottHQ launches, waitlist members will be invited in first — with lifetime founding-member pricing locked in for as long as you stay a member.

That price will never go up, even as we add new features. It's our thank-you for backing DottHQ early and helping us build the right thing.

STILL NOT SURE?

Frequently Asked Questions

When does DottHQ launch?

We're building toward launch now, with waitlist members invited in first. Join the waitlist and you'll be the first to know the moment the doors open.

Is DottHQ a desktop app I have to install?

No — DottHQ runs in your browser and works beautifully on your laptop, tablet, or phone. No downloads, no installers, no waiting for updates.

Does it work for authors with multiple pen names?

Yes. DottHQ was designed from day one to handle multiple pen names cleanly — separate identities, separate books, separate royalties, all in one calm dashboard.

What does "lifetime founding-member pricing" mean?

It means the price you join at as a founding member is the price you keep, for as long as you stay a subscriber — even as we add new features and launch new tiers.

Do I have to join the Author Hub to get on the DottHQ waitlist?

Not at all. The Author Hub is a free community you can opt into when you sign up — but it's completely separate from the waitlist. Tick the box if you'd like to join, leave it blank if you'd rather just wait quietly.

I'm not very techy. Will DottHQ be too complicated for me?

DottHQ is built specifically for authors, including those who don't think of themselves as "tech people." If you can use Word and email, you'll be fine — and there'll be plenty of guidance to help you get set up.

How will I hear about updates?

We'll email waitlist members as we get closer to launch — no spam, just occasional progress updates and your early invite when the doors open.
