Accordion

Web app · 2026

A private platform helping publishers and literary agents manage digital rights securely, on an international scale.

Accordion home page

Publishing runs on relationships and paperwork spread across countries and time zones. Accordion brings that into one controlled, private space: who can see a manuscript, who has made an offer, and which rights have gone where.

Agents and publishers each get their own view of the same deal. An agent runs the auction and watches offers arrive; a publisher discovers titles, requests access, and follows their submissions through to a signed deal. Conversations stay attached to the title they are about.

It is in private use with early partners, so that is about as much as I can say for now. The clips use demonstration data.

Built with Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Prisma.

An agent signs in, checks today's activity, and opens a live auction to see where each publisher stands
The agent's list of titles, one title's record, and a reply to a publisher in Messages
The publisher's side: discovering new titles and keeping track of every submission in one list
