Publish workflow

AI draft → publishable manuscript → KDP

Generation is table stakes. This path is how you get past AI smell and ship a Kindle-ready file — without juggling five unrelated apps.

  1. Finish the draft

    Outline → Chapter 1 → full draft in Story Studio, then polish in Write. Approve each step so the spine stays yours.

  2. Clean AI sameness

    Run Manuscript Cleanup and related analyzers for filter words, soft intensifiers, and repeated openers — chapter-first, then the full draft.

  3. Check continuity

    Catch name drift, POV slips, and bible gaps before readers do. Use consistency tools and your series bible.

  4. Blurb & cover

    Write a store blurb that sells conflict and stakes, then build a 1600×2560 KDP cover readers can read as a thumbnail.

  5. Format for Kindle

    Normalize headings, quotes, and scene breaks, then export EPUB/DOCX and run Ship preflight before you upload to kdp.amazon.com.

Free vs Pro for this workflow

Free can finish a book — expect roughly 1–2 chapters per day on the shared Free writer, with progress saved between sessions. Pro skips the shared queue when you want the draft done this week, then the same cleanup → cover → KDP tools still apply.
