RightsDeskThe rights desk,
reinvented by AI.
Most agents got into this for the books — not the paperwork. RightsDesk drafts your contracts, raises your invoices and tracks every deadline, so you can get back to the deals.
Replaces your legacy rights software, your contract drafter and your spreadsheets — in one workspace.
Say goodbye to the admin
Your rights, deals and royalties live in one searchable database — not twelve spreadsheets.
Contracts, invoicing, submissions and royalties in a single login.
Every option and expiry tracked, with alerts and one-click renewal.
Everything the rights desk needs — automated
AI contract drafting
Generate a publishing-deal contract from your terms in one click. Review in the browser, send for e-signature. No third-party drafter, no hourly bill.
Ingest any format
Drop in a PDF, spreadsheet, email or Word doc — AI normalises it into your live database. No rigid import template to wrestle with.
Automated invoicing
On signature, the advance invoice is raised and sent through Xero automatically. Royalty statements are read and invoiced the same way.
Rights availability, live
See at a glance which territories are sold, available or in negotiation for every title. Book-fair rights guides generate themselves.
Deadlines that chase you
Option and expiry dates surface 90 and 30 days out, with one-click renewal. Nothing slips through a spreadsheet again.
One secure workspace
Titles, contacts, deals, submissions, contracts and royalties — one login, any device, your data isolated and encrypted.
Legacy tools digitised the filing cabinet.
We automated the work.
RightsDesk drafts contracts, normalises messy data, writes pitch letters in your voice and reads royalty statements — work that, until now, meant hours of manual effort or an hourly contractor.

About
RightsDesk is built by Fondera, an AI-systems company that builds and runs AI-native software for businesses. We saw rights teams losing days to admin on tools that hadn't moved on in a decade — so we built the platform we'd want to use: one workspace, real automation, and AI doing the heavy lifting on contracts and data.
