Questions, answered

Do I need my own AI key?

No. Manuscript Studio runs the AI for you on managed models — usage is metered in simple monthly credits, with no API keys or setup. You can pick the model for every outline and enhancement.

Is the PDF really print-ready for Amazon KDP and other printers?

Yes. Pick your print platform — Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Barnes & Noble Press, or Lulu — and every plan exports a clean interior PDF at that platform’s standard trim sizes, with its gutter margins, embedded fonts, an automatic table of contents, and page numbers — rendered by the same engine as the on-screen preview, so what you see is exactly what prints.

Can I export an eBook and a Word manuscript too?

Yes. Alongside the print PDF, Manuscript Studio exports EPUB 3 (KDP’s recommended Kindle format, with a real navigation TOC) and an editable DOCX for editors and beta readers.

Does Manuscript Studio make audiobooks?

Creator and Premium plans generate a complete AI-narrated audiobook, chapter by chapter, mastered to the ACX technical spec. Distribute via Google Play Books, Spotify, and Kobo (Audible’s ACX prohibits AI narration).

Can I design my book cover in Manuscript Studio?

Yes — the Cover Studio is a free-form layer editor on your printer’s exact wraparound cover (back, spine, front — spine width computed from your page count), with genre templates, text, shapes, your images, and AI-generated cover art. Download the print wrap PDF plus store-sized eBook cover JPEGs for Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, and NOOK.

Will AI overwrite my writing?

Never. Every AI suggestion appears side by side with your original — accept it, reject it, regenerate it, or hand-edit it. There’s a word-level diff view and one-click revert after accepting.

How much does Manuscript Studio cost?

Plans start at $5/month: Starter ($5) covers one book with full PDF, EPUB, DOCX and cover downloads; Creator ($12) adds more books, stronger AI models, and the AI-narrated audiobook; Premium ($25) is unlimited. Every plan includes the complete writing studio, and you can cancel anytime.
