Description
AI generates complete novels with cover art, ready for print Text: I built a tool that generates complete, print-ready books from a single concept. Enter your idea, pick a genre and length, and you get: Full manuscript PDF (formatted for print with title page, copyright, chapters) Editable DOCX file AI-generated cover art Print-ready cover PDF with spine The whole thing takes a few minutes. Output is sized for standard trim sizes so you can upload directly to KDP or other print-on-demand services. Built with Claude for the writing and image generation for covers. Priced starting at $19. Would love feedback on the concept and output quality. https://printreadybook.com
