For serious indie authors publishing to Amazon KDP
Write, format, narrate, and publish your book — in one platform instead of half a dozen apps.
KDP-ready exports, AI audiobook narration, and multi-store publishing (KDP, IngramSpark, Apple Books, Kobo, D2D) — so you can stop switching tools and finish the book you started.

Who this is for
Built for serious indie authors, series writers, and ghostwriting shops publishing to Amazon KDP. If you only need formatting and prefer a one-time purchase, a tool like Atticus may suit you better.

Features
The wedges nobody else ships.
Every indie-author tool covers drafting or formatting. These three are why authors switch to BookSculpt.
Series Bible & AI Canon-Scoring
Characters, locations, timelines, and lore in a persistent canon. Click one button and AI scores each chapter 0-100 against your canon, flagging every contradiction before your readers do — the wedge Atticus and Vellum don't attempt.
AI Audiobook Studio (ACX-mastered)
17 voices spanning Azure Neural + ElevenLabs. Auto-mastered to ACX / Findaway spec (192kbps CBR, 44.1kHz mono, -20dB RMS). One-click bulk narrate, embeddable 5-min sample, ZIP export with manifest.
Built-in KDP Compliance
AI-disclosure attestations, originality scan, and plagiarism check run before you upload — so your Amazon listing doesn't get pulled after launch under the 2026 delisting rules.
AI Writing Assistant
Claude Sonnet 4.5 helps you write, rewrite, expand, and polish — your voice, dialled up.
Full Book Editor
Three-panel editor with outline, corkboard, plot timeline, and real-time collaboration.
Multi-Platform Publishing
Submit to KDP, IngramSpark, Draft2Digital, Apple Books, Kobo, B&N, Findaway.
Export to Any Format
PDF, EPUB, DOCX, MOBI — print-ready, KDP-validated.
Author Showcase & Library
Public /author/{you} page with embedded samples and a discovery library.
Publish AI-assisted books safely
Built-in KDP AI-disclosure attestations, originality scan, and plagiarism detection.
Amazon started delisting AI-assisted books in 2026 for missing disclosures and originality flags. BookSculpt runs each manuscript through KDP’s AI-disclosure attestation flow, an originality scan, and a plagiarism check before you upload — so your listing doesn’t get pulled after launch.

Three steps to your published book
Write & Plan
Start a project or import any manuscript (DOCX, PDF, TXT, EPUB). Build your Series Bible — characters, locations, timeline — so AI keeps your canon consistent.
Format & Narrate
Auto-format with print-ready templates. Generate an ACX-mastered audiobook in your chosen voice — Azure or ElevenLabs.
Publish & Promote
Push to Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Apple Books, Kobo, Findaway. Get a public author showcase, generate marketing copy, track royalties.
Your story stays yours
Your manuscript is never used to train our AI.
We built BookSculpt for serious authors. That means an AI assistant that helps you draft and polish — without quietly absorbing your IP. Read the fine print; the headline is the same as the policy.
Never used for training
Your manuscripts are never sent to third-party AI training sets — not by us, not by our model providers.
Private by default
Only you see your project. Optional team collaboration is invite-only and revocable any time.
Full export, any time
Export to DOCX, EPUB, PDF, or plain text in one click. Your file, your IP, your career.
GDPR & SOC 2-aligned
Encrypted at rest, encrypted in transit. Delete your account and your data is wiped within 30 days.
