# AuthorsPack

> AuthorsPack is an AI publishing production engine. Authors upload a manuscript (DOCX, TXT, or Markdown) and receive a professionally edited manuscript, a print-ready PDF interior, a valid EPUB, a DOCX export, and an automated QA report.

## What AuthorsPack does
- Manuscript ingestion and structured book modeling (chapters, scenes, dialogue, characters, timeline).
- Professional editing: developmental, line, copy, and continuity editing delivered as tracked changes the author accepts or rejects.
- Ghostwriting in multiple genre voices with persistent book memory, so late chapters stay consistent with early ones.
- Deterministic typesetting: print-ready PDF (KDP-compliant margins and trim sizes), EPUB 3, and clean DOCX, in six genre-matched interior styles.
- Automated final QA with a quality score and issue list before export.

## Pricing
- Starter: $58 / 30 credits. Author: $98 / 60 credits. Pro: $198 / 150 credits.
- Credits are debited only when a job completes; failed jobs refund automatically.

## Rights and privacy
- Authors retain 100% of their intellectual property.
- Manuscripts are never used to train AI models.
- Files are stored privately with signed, expiring access.
