What it saves you
- Each manuscript with edit type, word count and rate - fee and pace (words per hour) are calculated.
- Style decisions and author queries per manuscript - unresolved queries are listed before handback.
- Effective hourly rate per project from fee and hours logged
- Revision rounds are counted against what the contract includes
- Overdue invoices and their days late are listed automatically
- Finished work flows into a portfolio gallery with client and tags
How the parts work together
- Win: Add a project at Lead → Quote a fee and revision count
- Deliver: Log each feedback round → Track hours honestly
- Get paid & showcase: Invoice and chase "Unpaid" → Add the best work to the portfolio
