Publish My Book
One path. Clear next steps. Real files — not chat guesses.
Upload your manuscript. See Book Health, chapter notes, a submission package, and publisher matches with evidence. Every screen answers: what next, why, how long, and what you get.
Free to start · no credit card · nothing auto-emails agents or publishers
The problem
Finishing a manuscript is hard. Figuring out what happens next is harder. Authors bounce between Google Docs, ChatGPT, spreadsheets, and half-remembered submission guidelines — and still don’t know what to do today.
No clear next step
You open the laptop and freeze.
Scattered files
Manuscript, cover, and notes live everywhere.
Research fatigue
Publisher lists go stale; emails get lost.
Who this is for
First-time authors
You have a draft (or almost). You want a calm path to submission — not a course, not a black-box “AI agent army.”
Indie writers preparing to query
You need a package, a shortlist of targets to verify, and a tracker that remembers follow-ups.
How it works
Six steps. Every one explains what is happening.
- 1
Upload manuscript
Your .txt, .md, or .docx is stored with a checksum.
- 2
Book analysis
We inspect real files — not a vibe score from a chat prompt.
- 3
Publishing score
See package health and blockers (e.g. missing ISBN).
- 4
Submission package
Download a draft query letter, synopsis scaffold, and checklist.
- 5
Publisher matches
Research seeds you verify on their websites — then save to your tracker.
- 6
Author dashboard
Every morning: what to do today, what’s waiting, what blocks publication.
Why NEXUS — not a feature dump
Every tool maps to a real author problem. Each can grow into its own product later (Automation Marketplace and freelancers) — today they work together as one flagship journey.
Publisher Finder
- Problem
- You don’t know where to submit — and research takes weeks.
- Solution
- Start from research seeds for publishers and agents, then verify each website yourself.
- Outcome
- A shortlist of real targets in your tracker — not invented open calls.
Submission Tracker
- Problem
- Queries live in email threads and spreadsheets that go stale.
- Solution
- Track every target, stage, next action, and follow-up date in one CRM.
- Outcome
- You always know what’s waiting, what’s due, and what not to chase yet.
Query Letter Generator
- Problem
- Staring at a blank page for the query letter wastes energy.
- Solution
- Generate a draft from your real manuscript metadata and excerpt.
- Outcome
- A starting letter you edit — then copy into your own email. Nothing auto-sends.
Book Metadata
- Problem
- Title, author, ISBN, and files scatter across drives.
- Solution
- Keep manuscript, EPUB, covers, and package assets with checksums.
- Outcome
- One honest inventory of what exists for submission or self-pub.
Book Marketing Toolkit
- Problem
- Marketing advice is generic and disconnected from your package.
- Solution
- Roadmap and readiness scores tied to your real gaps.
- Outcome
- A 90-day plan you can tick off without vanity metrics.
Publishing Calendar
- Problem
- You lose track of what to do this week vs next quarter.
- Solution
- Timeline buckets: today, this week, month, quarter, achievements.
- Outcome
- Instant sense of where you are on the path to publication.
Book Analytics
- Problem
- Scores without explanation feel like black boxes.
- Solution
- Readiness dimensions with reason, time estimate, and confidence.
- Outcome
- You know what moved the score — and what still blocks publication.

| Tells you what to do today | You prompt again | Priorities with time & confidence |
| Publisher research | May invent names | Research seeds you must verify |
| Sends agent email | Can draft text | Draft only — you approve & send |

FAQ
- How is this different from ChatGPT?
- ChatGPT writes text from a prompt. NEXUS tracks your real manuscript files, package gaps, publisher research, submissions, and next actions — in one place you return to every day. It does not invent open calls or auto-email agents.
- Do I need an account to start?
- Start with a free book audit (upload or sample book). Create an account when you want to continue the full journey and keep progress on the server workspace.
- Will NEXUS send emails for me?
- No. You draft query letters here, copy them to your email app, and only send with your approval. We never auto-send.
- Is the sample book real?
- Yes. “All the Words I Swallowed” by Rashmi Kumari is our Customer Zero — real files and a real publishing project, shown honestly (including unfinished items like ISBN).
- Who is this for?
- First-time and early-career authors who need a calm path from manuscript to submission — not another blank chat window.
