Draft is the manuscript on its own. We start with the idea: what the book has to do for your business, the reader it has to win, and the argument only you can make. Then we build the manuscript in your voice, ready to publish anywhere.
A team behind four New York Times bestsellers begins by clarifying your goals, your ideal reader, and the book's structure, so every chapter drives a business outcome and a human one.
Then, over focused recording days, you think out loud while a Book Director guides the conversation. Our award-winning voice-to-book technology turns your spoken insights into a manuscript that reads like you wrote it on your best day. Every idea originates in your own recorded words.
No AI writing, no ghostwriter guessing at your voice or expertise. When Draft ends, you hold a manuscript you love, in your voice, positioned to reach your goals.
A dedicated Book Strategist defines your angle and the bullseye reader the book has to win.
The whole book mapped before your first recording session.
Guided interviews with a Book Director, scheduled around a founder's calendar.
Every idea originates in your own recorded words, written to hold up when your peers read it.
A clear map for what the manuscript needs next. Publishing itself is not included in Draft.
Live with the Author.Inc team, open to your questions for the length of the engagement.
One team accountable from kickoff to the finished manuscript.
Your Draft work carries straight into editing, design, publishing, and launch.

The manuscript is yours: 100% of the IP and every right. Publish it however you choose, or bring it back within six months: $10,000 of your Draft investment credits toward Publishing Only, and we carry the book through editing, design, publishing, and a launch built around your first 1,000 copies.
If you already know you want the book written and published, Publish does both for $39,990, less than Draft and Publishing Only booked one at a time.
