A useful starting point
Before you begin.
Your manuscript, author profile, handover manifest and working registers. The guide checks the intake before the editing work proceeds.
Use the PDF in Claude Cowork on your desktop, with a connected browser (Claude in Chrome or the app’s browser). Attach the previous handover ZIP and paste its start prompt, or type go. External subscriptions are separate. A standalone purchase needs equivalent input files; the guide checks what is missing. If you are unsure whether your files are sufficient, email the team before buying.
Ask the team about your starting point. See the book our complete workflow produced, from research to published paperback and Kindle edition. See the real book and process.
