Why we built it

Most writing software stops at the manuscript and leaves the book to somebody else. NovelPolish carries on: the gutter margin, the drop cap, the reader who tells you chapter nine drags.

Chapter I · Ways to write

Type it. Paste it. Talk it. NovelPolish makes it a book.

Start from a blank page, a twenty-year-old manuscript, or a voice note in the car. NovelPolish splits it into chapters, sets the type, and hands back something you can hold.

Type

Write with an AI co-author at your side

Draft chapter by chapter with a co-writer that remembers your characters, your voice, and where the story is going.

Talk

Coming soon

Speak your story — we'll shape the chapters

Record chapter by chapter. NovelPolish transcribes, tidies the prose, and lays it out in your chosen book style.

Research

An in-studio research assistant, always reading

Ask about historical detail, biographical facts, or worldbuilding. Answers arrive beside your manuscript — never in another tab.

Chapter II · The Studio

Everything a novelist or memoirist needs, in one place.

AI research assistant

Ask about a historical period, a public figure, or a plot hole. Answers are tailored to your genre — autobiography, classic novel, children's book — and land beside your draft.

Paste-to-book

Drop in a manuscript — even a raw text dump — and NovelPolish auto-detects chapters, prologues, and parts, then typesets the whole thing in seconds.

AI writing that remembers

Rewrite, expand, or improve any paragraph. Your co-writer keeps track of characters, timelines, and voice across every chapter.

Live book preview

As you type, your words reflow into real, print-accurate pages — with widow control, running headers, and proper drop caps.

Covers with foil-grade type

Design paperback, hardback, and dust-jacket covers. Spine width is calculated for you — automatically.

Import anything, keep everything

Word, PDF, EPUB, Google Docs, scanned pages. The AI repairs formatting, detects chapters, and rebuilds structure.

Proofreading and continuity

Catch inconsistent names, tangled timelines, passive voice, and repeated words before an editor ever sees your draft.

Talk your book

Record chapter by chapter. We transcribe, tidy the prose to your chosen level, and lay it out in your book style.

Print-ready exports

KDP-ready PDF, IngramSpark, EPUB 3, Apple Books, Google Play. Barcodes and bleed handled correctly.

AI marketing suite

Amazon descriptions, blurbs, back cover copy, launch plans, and ad creatives — in your voice.

Chapter III · The Page

A live preview that shows the actual book, not a document.

Margins, leading, ligatures, running headers, chapter openers, widow & orphan control — all handled to publishing standard. What you see on screen is what a KDP or IngramSpark printer receives.

Chapter IV · The Library

Templates you would actually see on a shelf.

Every template configures margins, headers, chapter styles, and typography to publishing standard. Change one setting and the whole book re-typesets.

Starter · 1,000 credits£29
Standard · 3,000 credits£79

Audiobook narration

Narration is billed separately at £149 per book, because studio-grade voice costs real money and we would rather show it than bury it.

Questions

The things authors ask us first.

Is NovelPolish available today?

It is in private beta. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when a seat opens.

What does £99 a month actually cover?

Unlimited books, every editorial pass, beta reader links, all templates, and 4,000 AI credits a month. Nothing is locked behind a bigger tier, because there isn't one.

What is a credit, in plain terms?

Credits track the AI work a job needs. Drafting and polishing a full-length novel fits comfortably inside a month's allowance. Before any big job we show the estimate and your balance, and anything reserved but unused comes back.

Can I import a book I've already written?

Yes. Word, PDF, EPUB, RTF, Markdown, Google Docs and scanned pages. The importer repairs formatting, finds your chapters, and rebuilds an editable project.

Are the exports really print-ready?

Yes. Exports pass Amazon KDP and IngramSpark checks: correct bleed, embedded fonts, PDF/X-3 compliance, spine width calculated from your page count.

Does the AI keep my writing private?

Your manuscripts are yours. We never train models on your work, and storage is encrypted at rest and in transit.
