Why €70?

A €9 PDF gives you prompts. We give you the finished thing: bible, manuscript, cover, KDP-ready files, generated, reviewed by quality gates, and packaged for upload. Every press burns real compute, real cover renders, and real engineering hours behind the scenes.

€70 is what it takes to do this properly and keep building. Not a rip-off. Not the cheapest. The right number for a tool you can actually publish from.

Common questions.

  • What if I don't like the book?

    That's why you review the bible before pressing start. Cast, places, threads, the heart of the story. All there to read and edit before any chapter is written. Once you click Press start, you're committing to the book that comes out.

  • When can I get a refund?

    Refunds cover one case: the press fails to deliver a usable book. If the app says your book is ready but you can't download it, or the file is corrupt or incomplete, email support@ghostwright.io and we'll refund. We don't refund for taste or change of mind. The bible-review step is the gate for that.

  • Do I own the rights?

    Yes. The manuscript, the cover, the metadata. Yours. Publish under any name, sell on KDP or anywhere else. No royalty share, no licensing strings.

  • Can I publish under my real name?

    Yes. Your book, your name. We never put "Ghostwright" or any branding on your cover. You decide the author name during the brief intake. Your real name or a pen name, your choice.

  • Do I need to disclose AI use to KDP?

    Yes. Amazon requires AI-content disclosure during KDP upload. We give you the exact disclosure text to paste, plus a step-by-step upload checklist with your delivery package. Following the rules protects your account.

  • How long does it take?

    Bible draft in 2-5 minutes after you submit the brief. You review and click "Press start." The full book then takes around 30-60 minutes. We email you when it's ready.

  • Why €70 and not €9?

    A €9 PDF gives you prompts. We give you a finished book: manuscript, cover, metadata, KDP-ready files. We could be cheaper; we'd ship a worse book.
