An Expert Caddy of Every Writer
Book formatting and self-publishing, from the first idea to the file. Novel, handbook, picture book, or a series: WriterDesk walks the book with you until a house can take it, whether that is a KDP paperback, an EPUB ebook, or an audiobook. You write, and we make sure the book stays compatible with that publisher. A picture book or a comic can also leave as a read-aloud. An optional AI assistant stays on standby at every step, in case you want that extra intelligent push.
The house
The trim list, the ISBN rule, and the margins change when the house changes.
One desk
Write it once. Print and the ebook come off that desk. The audiobook is an AI path: a reader, a spoken book, and a picture a listener can hear. A picture book or a comic can leave as a read-aloud, one page at a time, with a voice.
The sizes
Forty trim sizes, and each house shows exactly the list it prints: sixteen for Amazon KDP, thirty-two for IngramSpark, twenty for Barnes & Noble Press, sixteen for Lulu. When the house allows it, set a width and a height of your own.
The cover
Front, spine, and back take their places while you write, with the title, the blurb, the edition, the house, and the barcode already on them.

What leaves
A manuscript to read, an EPUB a reading app can open, and an ONIX record the trade uses to list the book. A watermarked copy is always free. Clean files come with the WriterCaddy plan, after a 7-day free trial.
Before you send
Run the preflight first, so the file leaves only when these are ready.
Optional
Each one is marked. Try five questions, one picture and a short voice sample free; after that, AI is a $29.99 a month add-on. Nothing is written into the book until you agree.
Four paths, one real book
Follow the sample book through the WriterDesk, screen by screen, as a paperback, an ebook, an audiobook or a picture-book read-aloud.
Other tools start once the manuscript is written. WriterDesk starts from the idea. Your book stays yours to see and edit; the plan is for the clean files that go to a press.
