AuthorKit

Finish your book.
Not your budget.

Authors spend $3,000+ on tools before selling a single copy. Scrivener. Vellum. A cover designer. An audiobook narrator. Squarespace. Shopify. Six subscriptions that don't talk to each other.

We built nine tools that replace all of them. Each one works alone. Each one has a free tier. Use one or use all nine.

No credit card. No trial. Free forever on every tool.

To start

You know the drill. You finish your manuscript in Google Docs. You copy it into Scrivener to organize it. Then into Vellum to format it. You hire a cover designer on Fiverr and wait two weeks, hoping they understand “cozy mystery.”

When the book is done, you need an audiobook. ACX quotes you $2,000 per finished hour. Your 10-hour book? That's $20,000. You skip audiobook.

Then you need a website. Squarespace. $16 a month. Then a store. Shopify. $39 a month. And Amazon takes 30–65% of every sale anyway.

You haven't sold a single copy yet, and you're out $3,000.

The math is simple.

Replace six subscriptions with free tiers. Pay only when you outgrow them.

Built different.

AI-native, not AI-bolted

Generate covers from a prompt. Narrate audiobooks with 50+ voices. Get writing feedback that sounds like your editor. AI in every tool, not tacked on.

Use one tool or all nine

Each app works standalone with its own free tier. Start with Typewriter for free. Add CoverDesigner when you need a cover. Only pay for what you use.

Sell direct, keep 90%+

Amazon takes 30–65%. BookStand is your own bookstore — custom domain, your branding, your readers. Keep what you earn.

Print with zero markup

BookPrinter connects you directly to printers. No middleman margin. No minimum orders. Same quality as IngramSpark without the $49 setup fee.

No lock-in, ever

Export everything — DOCX, PDF, EPUB, MP3. Cancel anytime. Take your files. We keep you by being useful, not by holding your work hostage.

Works alongside Amazon

We're not asking you to leave KDP. Create your book in AuthorKit, publish everywhere — KDP, Ingram, Apple Books. Add direct sales whenever you're ready.

Founder

KDP is still the best for getting eyeballs. I'm not trying to beat Amazon at distribution. I'm saving you money on everything else.

Typewriter like Scrivener. Formatter like Vellum. AI covers instead of $500 designers. AI audiobooks instead of $2,000 narrators. Use what you need, skip what you don't. And when you're ready to sell direct? Keep 90%.

Your book deserves better than a Google Doc.
