About Autumn Technologies
Good technology. More room for human creativity.
Indie Pumpkin is made by Autumn Technologies, an independent software company. We build software that gives people more control over their work, and we’re starting with independent publishing.
Why Indie Pumpkin
The work behind a book deserves a home.
Writing a book is only part of an independent author’s journey. Finding early readers, coordinating feedback, and explaining the creative process can mean juggling spreadsheets, messages, and disconnected tools.
Indie Pumpkin starts with those everyday problems. We want authors to be able to tell the story behind their work, and readers to find books they are excited to spend time with.
Our wider vision brings authors, readers, artists, and editors closer together. We are building toward it one useful workflow at a time, with human creativity at the center.
Principles
Trust starts with clear choices.
People keep control.
Design around what people choose to share and who can access it.
Evidence deserves context.
Explain what a record means, where it came from, and what it cannot prove.
Build what helps first.
Start with a useful workflow. Learn from the people using it before expanding.
How we work
Small, useful, and honest about where we are.
We would rather build one workflow that people trust than a long list of features. For Indie Pumpkin, that means starting with Creation Records and ARC campaigns, learning from the authors and readers who use them, and expanding only when the first release proves useful.
We describe planned features as planned. When something is built, or tested with real people, we will say so plainly.
