Manuscript Studio

Features

A complete studio, not a stack of tools

Writing, AI, covers, exports, and a library that keeps everything safe — all one subscription. Everything below is the actual product: real screenshots and live demos.

The editor

A real word processor, on the real page.

A full rich-text editor — headings, quotes, lists, tables, page breaks — on a sheet with your book’s true trim width and print margins, your chapter rail and goals always beside you.

When a passage needs lifting, hit ✦ Enhance: the AI’s draft lands side by side with yours and you accept, reject, hand-edit, or regenerate — nothing is ever overwritten silently.

Manuscript Studio's editor: chapter rail with progress, a full word-processor formatting ribbon, the chapter on a cream book-trim sheet, and an Enhance with AI button.

The real editor — the manuscript rail, the full formatting ribbon, and your chapter on the actual 6×9″ sheet.

AI outlining

One idea in. A whole arc out.

Manuscript Studio drafts a coherent chapter-by-chapter outline from your premise — or you lay the arc out yourself. Rename, reorder, add sub-points, regenerate until the shape feels right.

Then it stays coherent: every AI call carries the full outline and the story so far, so chapters written weeks apart still read as one book — no contradictions, no repetition.

Manuscript Studio's Outline screen: numbered chapters with goals and editable sub-points, reorder and delete controls, and an AI model picker with a Regenerate button.

The real Outline screen — AI-drafted chapters with goals and sub-points, every one editable.

Beyond the first draft

The pro writer’s toolkit

The unglamorous features that make a long manuscript survivable — built in, on every plan.

Story codex

Pin characters, places, and facts as canon. Every AI call — outline, chapter, whole-book draft — treats it as immutable truth, so book three still agrees with book one, chapter one.

Consistency check

One click audits the whole manuscript against your codex and flags contradictions with the exact quote, the chapter, and a suggested fix.

Deep research

Give it a topic and the AI researches the live web, files findings into your codex with real sources, and grounds every later chapter in them.

Import your manuscript

Bring an existing draft in from DOCX, EPUB, Markdown and more — chapters detected, formatting preserved, ready to enhance.

Version history

Every chapter keeps restore points — before each AI accept, each find-and-replace, and rolling checkpoints as you write. One bad paste can never cost you the only copy.

Draft the whole book

In a hurry? Auto-draft writes every empty chapter in order on our servers — close the tab, come back to a first draft, then refine chapter by chapter.

Cover Studio

A bookstore cover, on your printer’s exact wrap.

Start from a genre template, then design front, spine, and back on the print-true wraparound canvas — spine width computed from your real page count. Free-form text, shapes, and images with snap guides, plus AI-generated cover art from a one-line prompt.

Download the print wrap PDF for the paperback and a 1600×2560 JPEG for Kindle.

Manuscript Studio's Cover Studio: a free-form layer editor on the full wraparound print cover with back, spine and front panels, trim and barcode guides, layer list, and AI art tool.

The real Cover Studio — back, spine, and front on the print-true wrap, with templates, layers, guides, and AI art.

Publish everywhere

Every format your book needs to ship.

One manuscript, every deliverable: the print-ready paperback PDF for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, B&N Press, or Lulu, a reflowable EPUB 3 for Kindle and every other store, an editable DOCX for your editor — and from the Creator plan up, a complete AI-narrated audiobook mastered to the ACX technical spec.

Manuscript Studio· Export — every format your book needs

Print-ready paperback interior — your exact trim, embedded fonts, auto table of contents, page numbers. Upload straight to Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, B&N Press, or Lulu.

Print-true setup

Set up once. Write on the true page.

Pick your printer — Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, B&N Press, or Lulu — and any of its standard trim sizes up front. Margins, gutters, and spine width follow that platform’s print rules automatically, and from then on you write on the true page. What you see in the editor is what prints.

Your premise becomes the book’s brief: every AI call from the first outline to the last chapter carries it, so nothing drifts.

Manuscript Studio's Setup screen: title, subtitle, author, genre, audience and description fields, chapter and word-count targets, print format controls, and a live cover preview.

The real Setup screen — premise, length targets, live cover preview, and the print format.

Your cloud library

A shelf you can almost touch.

Every book autosaves to the cloud as you write and renders on your shelf as a real 3D volume — built from your actual cover design, with spine thickness that tracks your manuscript’s page count and a progress bar per book. Hover a book ↓
