Start with your own words

Have a book inside you, but find writing difficult?

You can begin by speaking your ideas. Our voice-led pathway is designed to help turn your spoken material into a structured manuscript while preserving your ideas and voice. You review and approve the work as it develops.

Early version: speech recognition (an AI tool) turns your recordings into a transcript, in English, on your own device. Nothing writes or expands your book for you — you edit and approve every chapter. A human-transcription option is coming soon.

Try it free — your first 50 words are on us. Then continue with author membership at £12.99/month.

Our approach

Original books, made with care.

We focus on books with a clear reader, a thoughtful purpose and content worth publishing. Whether you are creating a practical guide, workbook, children’s book, novel or bespoke creator book, your ideas and decisions remain central throughout the process.

KDP Ready helps prepare books for submission to Amazon KDP. Amazon makes its own publishing decisions. We cannot guarantee acceptance, sales, rankings or royalties. Our approach to AI · Your files & privacy
