How it Works
From blank page to published book
Whether you're starting fresh or importing an existing manuscript, BookSculpt guides you every step of the way.
Starting from Scratch
Plan & Write
Start a project, build your Series Bible (characters, locations, timeline), set genre + word count goal, and let Claude help draft scenes in your voice.
Edit & Narrate
Polish with AI editing tools, auto-format to print-ready typography, then generate an ACX-mastered audiobook in any of 17 voices.
Publish Everywhere
Submit to KDP, IngramSpark, Apple Books, Kobo, Findaway — and get a public author showcase with embedded sample players to drive sales.
Importing a Manuscript
Import
Upload DOCX, PDF, EPUB, Scrivener, or Google Doc. We auto-detect chapters by headings and extract embedded images inline.
Refine & Check
Use AI to polish dialogue, check plot health, run consistency scans against your Series Bible, and reformat with professional templates in one click.
Publish
Export to print-ready PDF, EPUB, DOCX, or push to 7 storefronts. Generate the audiobook + marketing copy from the same dashboard.
