# CruxOne

> CruxOne is an all-in-one AI book publishing platform for independent authors. Write, edit, design, narrate, translate, market and publish a book to Amazon KDP, Apple Books, Kobo and 50+ retail platforms from a single workspace.

CruxOne replaces the usual stack of separate tools (editor, cover designer, formatter, audiobook studio, translator, marketing suite, distributor) with one AI workspace. Authors work through a guided 12-step publishing pipeline; each step produces a real, editable asset.

## What CruxOne does

- **Manuscript writing & editing** — a built-in book editor with AI writing help, chapter management and 7 manuscript-enhancement modes (line editing, developmental notes, dialogue polish, consistency checks and more).
- **Book cover design** — AI-generated cover artwork plus editable typography, sized to the exact trim/spine specs each retailer requires.
- **Interior formatting** — print-ready PDF with mirrored gutter margins, plus EPUB and DOCX export, validated against retailer previewers.
- **Audiobook studio** — neural voice narration per chapter, with ACX-compliant MP3 and chaptered M4B export.
- **Translation** — literary transcreation into 91 languages, chapter by chapter, with review before export.
- **Book trailer** — AI-generated trailer script and storyboard, then a rendered video for social and retail listings.
- **Author website** — an AI-built author site with the writer's own books and covers, published on a custom domain.
- **Marketing** — blog posts, press releases, social posts, ad targeting and email campaigns generated from the book itself.
- **Publishing & distribution** — one-click publishing to Amazon KDP, Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play, Barnes & Noble, IngramSpark and 50+ platforms.
- **Sales analytics** — royalties, KENP reads and per-retailer sales in one dashboard.

## How it works

1. Start a book (import a manuscript or write from scratch).
2. Move through the pipeline: manuscript → enhancement → front/back matter → cover → formatting → audiobook → translation → publishing → marketing → trailer → next-book plan.
3. Each step is produced by AI, then reviewed and edited by the author before it ships.

## Pricing

CruxOne is subscription based with a free tier, and usage is metered in credits (credits cover AI writing, covers, audiobook narration, translation, trailers and marketing content).
