New Feature Automates the Calculation and Payment of Agents’ Fees, Simplifies Information Sharing
NORTHAMPTON, MA, September 18, 2025 – For many book publishers, calculating and paying agents’ fees is an additional task tacked on to an already time-consuming royalty management process. Delivering the specific and customized royalty information that agents need adds further complications and stress to the process.
With today’s launch of the new Royalty Tracker® agents feature, publishers can process agents’ fees, as well as author and licensor royalties, with the click of a button, and instantly publish agents’ statements to the online Royalty Portal. Agents can easily see how their splits were calculated, review royalty summaries by title, and find more detailed information whenever they need it.
“This feature will transform how our customers work with literary agents,” said David Marlin, President & Co-Founder of MetaComet Systems. “Instead of spending hours or days manually calculating splits and fielding phone calls, they can process everything in minutes and give agents instant access to exactly what they need.”
Publishers can view a brief video demo of this feature, request more information, or initiate implementation at https://metacomet.com/
