Brave Healers
Built an author portal that handles intake, payments, asset delivery, and status — the team went from manual fulfillment to running a true product business.
What we walked into.
Brave Healers publishes books in collaboration with hundreds of co-authors at a time. Coordination was happening in spreadsheets, email threads, and one team member's head. Every new title meant the same chaotic intake cycle. The team was scaling its mission but spending time on logistics, not editorial work.
How we built it.
Built a co-author portal for intake, contracts, and asset uploads
Automated payment collection and milestone tracking
Wired Stripe directly into the project lifecycle
Added AI-assisted draft review to speed editorial first-pass
Made every project status visible to authors without team intervention
"We stopped being a publishing service and became a publishing platform. That shift was structural."
What changed.
Author intake handled self-serve
Email volume per project
Editorial time spent on actual editing
