About
Hi there! We are the husband and wife team behind BookEdge and we wanted to share a little bit about ourselves and how we ended up building software for authors.
Back in 2018, Kaydence Snow self-published her first book, not knowing that she was only about half way up the incredibly steep learning curve that comes with indie publishing. John Smythe (affectionately known as Mr Snow by Kaydence’s fans) was incredibly supportive, and soon found that he really enjoyed the numbers side of publishing. Kay is all about the prose, but John loves a good bar graph!
We were a great team when it came to managing the marketing of Kaydence’s books. The more we learned about the industry, and indie publishing in particular, the more frustrated we became with the tools available for Amazon authors. Every release day, John would have 5823861 tabs open to track the ranks, sales, and KENP numbers, in multiple regions (while Kaydence rocked in a corner hiding from the reviews). Then there was the day-to-day issues of tracking read-through for series, estimating earnings for budgeting and a whole host of other things.
Just being able to view and interpret all our own data was so much effort!
We built BookEdge with a simple mission in mind – create an easy to use, high quality, accurate tool to track earnings, ranks, and reviews across regions, all in one convenient place. Problem solved! Well… the practical one anyway. If you have a solution for release day existential dread, please get in touch!
After months of refining BookEdge, getting feedback from authors, and making it the best tool we could – created for authors, by authors – we released it to fantastic enthusiasm and feedback.
We hope you enjoy BookEdge – we built it for you!
