Everything after the writing

Turn a manuscript into a book

• Hand it a manuscript and get back formatted, print-ready pages. No designer, no software to learn. You supply the cover art.
• Paperback, hardback and ebook, all from the same manuscript.
• Keep drafts and versions where you can find them, instead of in a folder called final-FINAL-v3.

Find out if it's any good, before you publish

• Send the draft to up to 100 beta readers at a time. They read it in the browser, so nothing is emailed around and nothing sits in a shared folder.
• Ask them the questions you actually want answered, chapter by chapter, instead of hoping for a useful reply.
• Get every answer back in one summary.

Put the book in front of readers

• Publish a real website for your books without writing a line of code. It goes live through your own free Netlify account, which you connect once.
• Every book gets its own page, built from what you already typed in once.
• Your colors, and your own imprint — the name your books are published under.
• Build an author site, a publisher site, a page for one book, or a site for a series.
• Use a web address you own. Every plan includes at least one.

Build a readership that's yours

• Made for one job: author and publisher mailing lists. It already knows your titles, your editions and where each book is sold, so an announcement builds itself.
• Run your list here, with no second subscription to pay for.
• Offer a free download and turn a curious visitor into a reader.
• New readers get a welcome email automatically.
• Announce a new book with real buy links, pulled from your own catalog.
• Give readers a signup page, with a QR code for print and events.
• Bring your readers over from a spreadsheet, and send from your own email domain.

Always know what to do next

• Open the dashboard and see what needs doing today — not a report on what happened last month.
• Set your publishing process up once. Every new book then follows the same steps, without you having to remember them.
• A book that isn't ready to go live tells you exactly what is missing.
• Read your reports on screen, or export one as a spreadsheet or PDF when someone asks.

Bring other people in, safely

• Let a freelance editor in for one book. They see that book and nothing else, until a date you choose if you want one.
• Add team members who work across the whole catalog, at the level of access you choose. How many you can add depends on your plan.
• Changes to your books, contributors, publishers and mailing-list settings are recorded, so who edited what always has an answer.

Type it once, and stop worrying about it

• ISBNs, subject codes, audiences, territories, prices: these are the details retailers demand and readers search on. Get them right once, and every book page and announcement is right too.
• We never count your books, however many you have. Series, box sets and collections keep them in order.
• Record a contributor once (author, editor, illustrator, translator) and reuse them across every title.
• Bring a back catalog in from a spreadsheet, and take it all out again the same way. Your data is never locked in.
• Draw the ISBN barcode for each print edition, and fill Amazon KDP's entry sheet from what you already typed.

AI use is your choice

• Use AI to improve a description, write a tagline, or suggest keywords to choose from.
• Use the AI credits in your plan, or your own Anthropic or OpenAI key.
• Ask AI tailors its answers to the page you are on, and can look up your own titles and imports.
• One switch turns AI off for the whole workspace. Nothing from your workspace is sent to AI.
• With AI off, Ask AI still answers questions about Pubblish, from our guides.
• Each website can ask AI crawlers to stay away: just the ones that train AI models, or the AI search crawlers too.

Publishing other people's books Publisher plan

• Bring in sales reports from KDP, Kobo, Lightning Source and others. Work out what every author, illustrator and agent is owed, send their statements, and record what you paid them.
• Take submissions through a portal, score them, review them, and decide.
• Keep your contracts with the rights they cover, by territory and term.

Contracts, Royalties and Acquisitions come with the Publisher plan. Apart from these three, the plans differ only in size: storage, emails, AI credits, team members and custom domains.
