Author Studio

Books, a manuscript board of chapters, research notes, launch tasks, and appearances.

Without it

The manuscript is in one tool, the research in another, and the launch checklist in a note you last opened in March.

How this template works

How this works

Chapters with a manuscript board (Outline → Draft → Revised → Done), Research Notes linked to chapters, Appearances (podcasts, talks) and Launch Tasks for the campaign.

The loop

Write in the chapter's rich text; move it across the board; park every source in Research Notes linked where it's used.

Then put an agent on it

A chapter entering Draft can wake an agent that proposes pacing and continuity notes against the chapters either side of it.

It runs on your own Claude or ChatGPT over MCP — never metered, never marked up — and every move it makes waits at an approval gate. How agent runs work →
