Author Magic is a Mac app that takes a novel or a nonfiction book from idea to upload. Let AI draft it while you watch the pages typeset, or write every word yourself. Your writing rules (no em dashes, your spelling, no AI-sounding phrases) apply to every AI result. A story bible flags contradictions. The cover studio does AI art or your own image on the real KDP wrap. One button builds the interior PDF, cover and EPUB. Bring your own AI key or a free local model. Pay once, no subscription.
