Everything it takes to become a published author.
Novels and non-fiction — and coloring books, picture books, planners and recipe books. Outlined, written, illustrated, typeset, and checked against the rules of the printer you are uploading to. Then on sale, earning a royalty on every copy.
Four printers
Trim, gutter, spine caliper and barcode zone, checked against each platform’s own published rules.

A complete studio, on one subscription.
Writing, illustration, page design, covers, preflight and export are one program working on one book. Nothing is exported and re-imported between them, and the trim you chose is the trim all of it works in.
AI that lands beside your words, never over them
Every suggestion arrives next to your draft with a word-level diff, a history of every variant, and one click to revert. Steer it with an instruction, or scope it to a single selected passage.
- Word-level diffs, never a silent overwrite
- Every variant kept, one click to revert
- Written at the book's real trim, in the engine that prints it
A page designer, not a document with pictures in it
Plan the book page by page, then compose each one on a real canvas: layers, master-free furniture, text styles, and a preflight that checks the page in front of you against the printer’s own rules.
- Greys too light to hold ink
- Type below the legibility floor
- Words that fall into the gutter
Your cover on the printer's exact wrap
Genre templates, free-form layers and AI cover art on a canvas drawn at your real trim — back panel, spine and front, with the bleed and barcode zones where they truly are.
- Layers anchored to their panel, not the sheet
- Spine width from the typeset interior, not a guess
- A grown chapter never slides the front cover sideways
There is more than three: AI narration, a promotion studio, manuscript import, chapter version history, and a release board that checks the book against each store’s own rules.
See everything the studio does →Eight kinds of book, each set up the way it prints.
A coloring book, a picture book and a planner work by the page, not the chapter, and their page counts have to land exactly. Each opens with the trim, paper, ink and bleed it actually prints on already set.
Novel or non-fiction
Flowing chapters, typeset to your trim — the manuscript pipeline, front matter to index.
Coloring book
Full-page line art, one design per sheet, single-sided so a marker can't bleed through.
Children's picture book
Full-colour illustration with a line or two of story, composed and read as spreads.
Planner / journal
Undated spreads, grids and ruled pages — built from templates, not from AI.
Recipe book
A photo, an ingredients column and a method that has to fit the page it starts on.
Photo book
Full-bleed plates and facing pairs, in premium colour on white — a picture-led book, perfect-bound.
Word search puzzles
Grids generated from your word lists, with an answer key at the back and a themed frame on every page.
Sudoku puzzles
Grids from 4×4 to 16×16, generated from the pages themselves — each with exactly one solution and its answer at the back.
Trim rectangles drawn to true relative proportion
Checked against the printer’s rules before you upload.
A rejected cover costs a week. So the board measures what it can measure, shows where each figure came from, and says plainly when it couldn’t — a check that cannot run is never reported as a pass.
The page count is measured, not estimated
Your spine comes off a real typeset interior, never off a word count.
Every figure carries its source
Paper calipers show where they came from and when they were last checked.
A sign-off expires when the book changes
A cover approved at 312 pages is about a different book at 340, so the tick comes off.
What a copy costs to print, and the lowest price that pays
Off the measured page count, with the royalty band it lands in — and nothing at all where a platform doesn’t publish its rules.
Plans
Every plan includes the writing, page design, cover and print-export tools. What changes is how many books, how many AI credits, and which AI models — audiobooks start at Creator.Write and publish your first book, start to finish.
For authors building a backlist and publishing wide.
For prolific writers who want the strongest models.
For full-time publishers running a catalogue at volume.
Your book is waiting to be written.
