Bookwiz

Bookwiz is a web workspace for outlining, drafting, revising, and preparing books for Amazon KDP. It is aimed at experts, coaches, founders, first-time and indie authors, and novelists who want assistance that understands an entire manuscript. The main appeal is a book-focused workflow with model choice and ready-to-upload files, while usage limits determine which plan is practical.

Overview

Bookwiz keeps planning, chapter work, continuity, and rewriting in one project. Its assistant can draw on a manuscript, chapters, and notes, so help can reflect the wider book rather than a single isolated prompt. Authors can choose Claude, GPT, or Gemini for each prompt, which is useful when different models produce better results for outlining, prose, or revision.

Every plan produces KDP-ready EPUB, print PDF, and DOCX files, plus a full-wrap paperback cover. That shortens the formatting stage, but Bookwiz does not send a book to Amazon: because Amazon has no publishing API, the author uploads the exported files and listing materials manually.

Users retain ownership of their stories and other creative work. Bookwiz says transfers use HTTPS, database access is protected by Row Level Security, and team access is limited. Account deletion removes the account and associated data, although payment invoices and a one-way email fingerprint used for trial-abuse prevention may remain.

Key features

Outlining and a chapter workspace cover the move from concept to draft. Continuity tools are valuable for keeping a long project coherent, while rewrite controls target revision rather than only first-draft generation. The manuscript-aware context makes these features more suitable for ongoing books than a prompt-only chatbot.

Exports are unusually central to the product: EPUB, print PDF, DOCX, and a paperback cover are included even on Free. The limitation is operational, not file-related; KDP submission still requires the author to handle Amazon's upload process and listing setup.

Pricing

The Free plan costs $0/month and supports up to three books, eight fast AI prompts, and 30 inline autocompletes per day. It includes all KDP-ready exports and a cover, making it a sensible way to assess the workflow, but the small prompt allowance will constrain active drafting.

Explorer costs $14/month or $140/year. It adds unlimited projects, 100 Pro prompts, 1,000 Base prompts, 200 autocompletes per day, 1GB of storage, an Amazon KDP listing pack, and standard support. This is the entry paid tier for authors with several projects who can work within a defined Pro quota.

Storyteller is $35/month or $350/year, with 500 Pro prompts, unlimited Base prompts, 500 daily autocompletes, 10GB storage, and priority support. It fits heavier book production and larger files, though Pro use remains capped.

Professional costs $99/month or $990/year. It provides 2,000 Pro prompts, unlimited Base prompts, 2,000 daily autocompletes, 20GB storage, and 24/7 priority support. This is aimed at prolific authors or professional publishing work rather than occasional users.

“Publish this book” is a $79 one-time purchase for one manuscript, including an AI listing pack, launch kit, and Amazon-ready file zip. It is the focused option for a single release, not a replacement for a continuing multi-book subscription. Paid plans start at $14/month, and a 3-day trial is offered; subscription buyers should account for the stated monthly or annual billing terms.

Platforms

Bookwiz runs on the web, so it suits authors who prefer browser access over a desktop or mobile application.

Who it's for

Choose Bookwiz if you are self-publishing and want contextual AI support across a complete manuscript, multiple model choices, and KDP-oriented exports in one place. Free is appropriate for limited exploration; Explorer suits regular independent authors; Storyteller and Professional are for higher-volume work or stronger support expectations. It is less suitable if you require automatic Amazon publication or unrestricted premium-model prompting.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Manuscript, chapter, and note context makes assistance relevant to book-length continuity and revision.
• Pro: Claude, GPT, and Gemini can be selected per prompt.
• Pro: All plans include EPUB, print PDF, DOCX, and a full-wrap paperback cover.
• Pro: Ownership, HTTPS transmission, Row Level Security, and account-deletion controls address important data concerns.
• Con: Amazon uploading remains manual, so exports do not complete the publishing process.
• Con: Free has only eight fast prompts and 30 daily autocompletes; paid tiers still cap Pro prompts.
• Con: The 3-day trial is brief for evaluating a full book workflow.

Verdict

Bookwiz is a strong fit for authors who want manuscript-aware writing assistance, flexible model selection, and KDP-ready deliverables in a single web workflow. Choose it for the integrated book process and exports; look elsewhere if automatic Amazon publishing, mobile or desktop apps, or more generous premium-prompt allowances matter most.
