How HarMat works
Clear paths for authors and readers — what each menu does, where to find it, and what happens next. No confusion.
Two places — easy to remember
Author Studio
Author Studio is your work desk: upload books, agreements, royalties, payouts, and past books.
Start as author →
Main website
The main website is for readers and shopping: catalog, cart, library, stories, score, and your public profile. Authors also use it to read, buy, and promote.
