Package

Package home, the Submission Kit, the Pitch One-Sheet, and Comp Titles.

Package holds the things an agent or editor asks for — the Submission Kit, the Pitch One-Sheet, the Story Bible PDF — assembled from work already in your project. Each card says where it stands: Ready, In progress, Not started, or Not yet, with what it would draw on. It counts what it found and never scores it; whether that's enough is your call.

Package home

Package opens on a card for each of Submission Kit, Pitch One-Sheet, and Story Bible PDF, each marked Ready, In progress, Not started, or Not yet, so you can see at a glance what's ready to send and what still needs work.

Submission Kit

Drafts the package an agent asks for — a ~250-word query letter with per-agent personalization, a short pitch, one- and two-page synopses that include the ending, and 75- and 150-word bios — written from your chapter synopses, characters, genre, POV, word count, Submission Profile and pinned comp titles, and stores it with the project so each agent gets a consistent package.

Pitch One-Sheet

Agents, foreign-rights buyers, festival tables, and librarians all expect a one-sheet. Bookshaper assembles it from what already lives in your project — cover (Cover Studio), tagline and pitch (Blurbs), comps, author bio (Submission Kit), and genre / word count / POV / ISBN — laid out in your book’s own typefaces and ornament. Override any field inline with a one-click reset, choose US Letter or A4, and export a single styled PDF page through the same engine as your interior. It generates from a partial project, skipping whatever isn’t ready yet.

Comp titles and positioning

Every query letter and storefront listing needs a clear sense of where your book sits. Bookshaper derives ranked comparable titles from your manuscript’s themes, pacing, POV, and voice, each checked by web search for its real publication year, publisher, and sales tier (web checking runs on Anthropic models only; titles from other providers come back marked Unverified, and the view asks you to check them before citing), with a publishing-path toggle for trad-published comps (query letters) or indie comps (storefront marketing). Discoverability tropes are derived from your themes, character archetypes, pacing, and conflict — each with a note on where it shows up in your book, from a genre-keyed taxonomy plus a universal set. Pinned comps and confirmed tropes feed your blurbs, retailer keywords, and query letter automatically.
