✦ The post-draft publishing engine

Your first draft is finished.
Now make it a launch.

Most indie launches fail because publication is treated as the finish line. AuthorOS runs the other seven phases — editing, packaging, cover engineering, typesetting, ARC seeding, metadata and the launch window — as one coordinated pipeline.

Seven engines, one pipeline

Everything after “The End”

01

Draft Ingestion & Manuscript Intelligence

Parse .docx / .epub / .md / .txt into clean chapters, then extract characters, relationship graphs, POV shifts, pacing curve, and a trope profile matched against 20 genre matrices.

02

Hybrid Editorial Desk

TipTap writing desk with manual track changes plus an AI co-pilot delivering developmental, line-edit, proofread and continuity suggestions — accept or reject one click at a time.

03

KDP Packaging & Metadata Engine

Three A/B blurb variants in the 4-part conversion structure, seven backend keyword slots enforced at 250 bytes with anti-duplication, and the top 3 low-competition browse nodes.

04

Cover Studio & Pre-Flight Auditor

Live spine math for white vs cream paper, genre-locked visual profiles, the 2.0" × 1.2" barcode safe zone, a 90px thumbnail legibility test and a 4.5:1 luminance contrast gate.

05

Typesetting & Compilation

Validated EPUB 3.0 with NCX navigation, genre CSS, drop caps and injected back matter — plus a print interior PDF with mirrored margins, gutter scaling and running heads.

06

ARC Street Team Engine

Per-reader watermarked review copies, the Day −7 / Day 0 / Day +3 lifecycle drips, and review-reliability scoring per reader.

07

Social Video, Ads & Launch

Dramatic-beat video scripts, Amazon PPC bulk CSVs, Meta ad variants, a social scheduler, series read-through LTV math and the full 7-phase launch orchestration.

Local-first

Zero-setup, key-optional

Every engine runs offline with deterministic analysis. Add Anthropic, OpenAI, Fal, ElevenLabs or Resend keys in Settings to upgrade any module to live generation — nothing breaks if you have none.
