Stop typing your book's details into every tool: book plans
-
R. S. Breed Founder
If you've used a few of the free tools here, you'll have noticed you type the same things over and over: trim size, page count, paper, ISBNs, title, description.
Now you can type them once. A book plan is your own private record of one book: title, subtitle, series, formats, an ISBN for each, trim size, paper, page count, prices, pre-order and release dates, descriptions, your bio and store links.
Start one from your author dashboard, or here: https://bervet.com/dashboard/plans
Then two things happen:
- Every tool fills itself in. Open the spine calculator, the margin calculator, the barcode generator or the metadata checker and pick your book from the "Fill in from your book plan" box at the top. If a tool works something out (a page count, say), "Save these details to the plan" sends it back.
- You get a "Ready to publish?" checklist that goes green as you go: cover, interior and proof, ISBNs (it catches typos with the ISBN check digit, and a paperback and hardcover sharing one number), metadata, copyright page, prices, release date, store set-up, store links and advance copies. Each line that isn't green links to the tool that sorts it.
Only you can see your plans. Nothing in them is shown on the site, and deleting one doesn't touch your listing.
If there's something you'd want in a plan that isn't there, tell me here.
