Write, edit, get the files. Then you upload.

You give PenWriter a sentence about the book, or a Word draft, or an outline. It proposes angles and you choose. It shapes the story, sets out the cast and writes an outline you can change chapter by chapter.

Then it drafts. One chapter at a time, as you watch, or every chapter as a background job. Each draft is written from your outline, your cast and notes on the chapters before it. The result is a first draft, and it is labelled as one: read it, rewrite what you do not like, and write any part yourself.

What it spends. Drafting is model work and spends credits. A chapter of about 1,000 words costs about 24 credits at the rates built in. Writing by hand spends none.

The editor reads the whole book, every word, in passes: the big picture, continuity, the line, copy and proof. Each finding quotes the sentence, says what is wrong and may offer a replacement. You accept, reject or ignore it.

PenWriter’s own checks run without a model: repeated words, filler, unbalanced quotation marks, spacing. And you can talk to PenWriter about the chapter that is open. It will offer wording, and you decide.

What it spends. The editor’s read is model work and spends credits; its own checks do not ask the model anything.

PenWriter checks the book against the rules Amazon has published and tells you, in plain words, what is missing or over a limit. When it is ready it builds a Kindle EPUB (and a Word file), a paperback interior PDF at the trim size you chose, and a wrap-around cover PDF with the spine. It also lays out the listing words: title, blurb, keywords and categories.

Every check asks “does this meet what Amazon publishes?” It cannot ask “will Amazon take it?”, because only Amazon can answer that.
