A couple more things to consider.

Contract management

Publishers are in the dark ages with this sending shredded trees all over the place asking you to physically sign 6 copies of a signature sheet. WTF!? Ideally this idea would integrate with electronic document handling like GH uses for its new employees.

Integrated Reporting

Royalty and sales reporting typically sucks. Outdated sites that make Geocities look like the next GH. This site could provide a nice reporting dashboard for authors to look at.

Basically, this could be the one stop shop for publishers and authors to collaborate on a book.
