Shelfs AI

How it works

One manuscript moves through eight steps and comes out ready for many storefronts.

The eight-step workflow

  1. 01Market research
    Explore audiences, comparable angles, title options and keyword ideas. All figures are AI estimates, never live store data.
  2. 02Book blueprint
    Generate and edit a structure: chapters, summaries and target lengths.
  3. 03Manuscript studio
    Write chapter by chapter with autosave, word counts and optional AI suggestions you review before accepting.
  4. 04Quality & compliance
    Readability, consistency and formatting checks, plus reminders about store content rules and AI disclosure questions.
  5. 05Cover studio
    Build a cover brief, choose typography, and preview front, spine and back.
  6. 06Format builder
    Produce the file types each store expects and see which assets are still missing.
  7. 07Metadata optimizer
    Write one master listing, then tune per-store titles, descriptions, keywords and categories.
  8. 08Distribution preparation
    Download a labeled package per platform and open the official portal to upload and approve it yourself.

Shelfs AI never uploads on your behalf and never asks for bookstore credentials. Final submission is always your action inside the store's portal.
