Credit use varies with manuscript length and language; the official page does not expose current pack prices as text.
Start with the actual book
Upload EPUB, DOCX, or PDF content for analysis rather than compressing the novel into a short prompt. PublishDrive recommends substantial ebook text of at least 10,000 words; processing uses credits.
Shape the sales description
Generate blurb recommendations grounded in the text, giving a starting point for the book’s reader-facing promise. The suggestions can be fine-tuned rather than accepted as a finished retailer listing.
