One book. A clear next step.

The quick writing sample needs no account. A free account saves your interview and book plan. Chapter one of your first eligible book is free after plan approval, with no card required. If your account has already used a chapter-one unlock, later books offer chapter one for $39, credited toward that same book’s first package. A free chapter carries no dollar credit. Your book plan shows your eligibility.

Packages are one-time purchases for one book: Author $199.99, Author + AI Editor $499.99, Publishing Suite $999.99, and White Glove $5,000. Optional rewrite packs and language editions are separate purchases. There is no package subscription.

Yes. Open the package options from the book you want to upgrade. Your interview, outline, and saved manuscript stay with that book. The server shows the upgrade amount before checkout. Current checkout subtracts the listed price of the book’s current package, even if that purchase was discounted; promotion codes are applied separately by Stripe. White Glove uses the same current package calculation, but adds human services—review its scope before choosing it.

Your answers, stories, and phrases guide drafting. Read each chapter, correct anything that does not sound like you, and use refinement or manual edits. Missing personal details may be marked for you to supply. AI can still invent or misread details, so verify every experience and claim. Author + AI Editor adds manuscript conversations, editor passes, and a humanizer.

Review facts, personal experiences, permissions, Scripture quotations and references, doctrine, tone, and the final layout. Automated checks can miss errors. Ask trusted pastoral readers or qualified editors for judgment where you need it. You remain the author and choose what to publish.

Author, Author + AI Editor, and Publishing Suite are AI-assisted, self-service packages. White Glove is the human-service package: its listed scope includes a developmental and line edit, a theological read-through, and three guided video sessions. Contact support to confirm the service fit and arrangements before purchasing; the AI Editor is not a human editor.

No. Author already includes DOCX and Markdown exports, print-interior and EPUB files, cover artwork, manuscript review tools, and launch copy. Publishing Suite adds the AI Editor tools, a tailored KDP roadmap and launch plan, KDP metadata tools, outreach kits, and a combined publishing package.

The self-service packages prepare files and guidance. You review the files, manage your publishing-platform account, upload and submit your book, and arrange distribution. Printing, proof or author copies, ISBN purchases where needed, and platform charges are not purchased by the app. Check those providers’ requirements and prices. Confirm any hands-on White Glove assistance with support; do not assume physical copies or third-party fees are included.

Return to your book and check the latest saved work before retrying. Drafts are versioned, and the chapter editor also keeps a local recovery copy where browser storage is available. If access did not unlock or a technical issue persists, email support@thereadywriter.ai with the problem—not your password or card details. The existing refund policy explains purchase terms and technical purchase problems.
