AI for authors, with the author in charge.

Your Book Pro works with your ideas, recordings, research and manuscript. It can transcribe, organise, analyse and suggest, but it does not write your book for you. Your words, judgement and decisions remain yours, and you approve every suggested change.

It works only from material you supply or create.

Every suggestion is visible, and nothing changes until you approve it.

“The editorial review, beta reader, and proofreading has been outstanding.”
— A Your Book Pro author

An editor who stays with the book.

Ask the Editor is there whenever you need help starting, shaping, revising or preparing your book. It understands the book you are working on, explains its advice and helps you decide what to do next. It suggests. You decide.

Ask The Editor's Book Coach is free on every plan, every turn - it helps you work out what book you want to write. Ask the Editor itself works on the manuscript you already have, with deeper book-aware analysis: paid with credits on Plus, unlimited on Pro.

“The Ask the Editor function got very refined and I found the feedback very appropriate.”

— Carlo, author and Scrivener user
