AI-generated images

Generate images of your world and characters with AI.

Give a place or person from your story a visible form. Explore the atmosphere of a city, try a character’s appearance, or create an image to share with readers alongside a scene.

Midjourney generates images from text and image references. You choose the interpretation that fits your story and refine the details.

AI-generated video

Animate your story images with AI to make a book trailer.

Let mist drift through a ruined gate or a character turn toward an approaching sound. Generate short moving shots from still images, then arrange the clips you choose into a trailer.

Runway supports image-to-video generation and timeline editing. Add your book title, narration, or music as you assemble the sequence; the AI-generated clip is one part of it.

AI-generated narration

Narrate a short story with AI so readers can listen.

Turn a prologue, a bonus story, or a reader magnet into spoken audio. A reader could listen to a story from your world on a walk or hear an excerpt before opening the book.

ElevenLabs Studio lets you assign voices, regenerate individual passages, and export MP3 or WAV audio. Listen through the result, especially character names and dialogue.

ElevenLabs’ free plan excludes commercial use.

AI-generated music

Compose music with AI for a trailer or a series soundtrack.

Music can give a trailer its tension, a character a recurring theme, or a fictional tavern its own song. AI tools generate music from descriptions of mood and instruments, or from lyrics you supply, with variations you can shape around the story.

Suno generates instrumentals and songs from descriptions or your own lyrics. You can explore different musical directions before choosing one for the project.

Suno’s free songs are for non-commercial use. Commercial trailer or soundtrack use requires a permitted download under its paid-plan terms.

AI-created web pages

Build a series website with AI so readers can explore your world.

Give your series a place readers can wander: a map of its locations, character profiles, a reading order, or bonus scenes. You decide what belongs there, including where to keep spoilers out.

A coding assistant such as Claude Code can create and edit the website files from your instructions. Provide your notes and chosen images, then preview the pages and request changes. Setup and hosting are separate steps.

More possibilities

AI can support the smaller jobs, too.

Revision, research, reader materials, and the business behind your books.

Listen to your manuscript as an editing pass

A text-to-speech tool can read your chapters back while you follow the words. Sentence rhythm, repeated phrasing, and awkward dialogue get a different kind of attention before the work becomes public audio.

Explore voice and speech tools

Turn your reader comments into useful feedback

A chat assistant can group your reviews, beta notes, or launch-team comments by recurring theme. You get the signal without sitting inside every harsh sentence or treating one loud reaction as the whole readership.

Explore AI chat tools

Query your books for tiny details

A source-grounded chat workspace can search your books, outlines, and notes for a color, surname, shop sign, or other detail you never thought to record in a series bible. When the answer matters, it can point back to the material you supplied.

Explore AI chat tools

Turn your reading into captioned clips

Your recorded event, podcast guest spot, or launch reading can become short captioned excerpts. Transcript-based editing keeps the spoken line attached to the clip while you shape it for reader-facing channels.

Explore AI video tools

Prepare your book-club discussion guides

You can give a chat assistant your manuscript, synopsis, or approved themes to draft discussion prompts, character angles, and spoiler-aware sections. You keep control of interpretation and tone.

Read patterns in your royalty exports

Your retailer and distributor spreadsheets can be grouped by title, format, store, or period. Charts make backlist movement easier to inspect before you decide which launch, price change, or promotion needs attention.

Explore marketing tools

Extract a glossary from your own book

A chat assistant can pull invented terms, place names, organizations, and recurring phrases from your manuscript into an end-of-book glossary draft. You decide which entries deserve definitions and how much context belongs beside them.

Refresh your book's retail pitch

Marketing tools can turn your manuscript, synopsis, and audience notes into fresh descriptions, keywords, category angles, or ad targets. A backlist title gets a current pitch without pretending the book itself has changed.

Turn your dictation into clean text

Your dictated scene notes or rough passages can become formatted text with punctuation, paragraph breaks, and cleanup instructions applied. You keep the speed of speaking while giving the result a cleaner path into the draft.

Find tools for dictation cleanup

Scan your manuscript for continuity gaps

Manuscript analysis can flag likely plot holes, inconsistent details, and world-building issues with locations in the text. Those pointers give your whole-book revision pass somewhere specific to begin.

Find tools for manuscript feedback

Adapt your launch assets for each channel

Your finished cover reveal, quote graphic, or announcement can be resized and reworked for newsletters, social posts, banners, and ads. The campaign idea keeps its shape while each channel gets the format it needs.

Explore artwork tools

Assemble your author press kit

A chat or marketing workspace can turn your approved biography, book facts, interview topics, and links into a press-kit draft. Events and media requests get one maintained packet instead of a scramble through old folders.
