You've never heard me say this before....
I don't think I want to build this... I've spent 5 days doing R&D and an immense amount of tokens across multiple AI's to do the research on what I was Calling the Authors Business Command Center (ABC for short). I did this because as usual somebody else has something like it but not nearly enough for a stupid cost. $500 for the first year and $99/mo maintenance or the one that sent me over the edge into deep dive mode $1500 for a custom setup and config and $297 a month. Friends, if I can get my book sales to that point I'll call myself a successful author. I'm currently at about $200 a month right now +/- and doing next to no marketing (this will change shortly...more on this some other time). I was thinking maybe $29 a month was right with a $20 a month add on for webhosting author pages. Not sure how the math would play out yet but indie authors generally cannot afford expensive solutions but do deserver elite ones. Below is the 5th iteration of trying to make something huge digestible and it still feels too big. Probably should be a kickstarter. Read through the pitch document and convince me to do it. The pitch will show that a number of the pieces are already there just not done yet. This would be a totally separate beast from WCP, BW, TC, 3DBookMock, etc.. but does wrap everything up in a neat little bow. After spending this much time with it...I do not think it's time. I think I'll do something smaller, lighter with some of the features it has. I'm going to split my time this weekend between training videos and polishing some of the things I've hinted at, promised, and have hiding in the wings that you know nothing about yet. I currently have 162 projects opened on my tag board, all author related. I think maybe this one will wait, unless I get convinced otherwise.

162... I'm afraid I can kind of relate. Nowhere as bad and most of them are 'when I retire' type projects but I keep dabbling in new ones before I complete my old ones. That is what I really need to work on right now is just finishing current projects before I start working on new ones.
BookFunnel Promos
Hi all, I joined two BookFunnel promos this month to collect interest in my novella that I successfully & proudly wrote thanks to WCP! If anyone is interested in seeing these promos and helping me get my allotted “clicks” on my promo links message me. I will send you the links. (I want to be respectful of our promo rules here.) The two categories are Free Witchy Reads and Free Clean Fairytale Retellings. (I will always return the favor in the future. I love supporting fellow authors.) 💕💕🎃💕

Great to hear that this worked well for you.
3D Cover images
Somehow I forgot to say 3dbookmock.pro (no AI) is live and free for now to create 3d Mockups. You just upload your cover, spine and back graphics and can create whatever view you want ***** It was asked on another channel if anyone had tried this site for 3d Mockups https://trythreed.com/m/novellas These are a breeze and no reason to pay any service. I sent this answer there so I'm sharing it here to.. and of course... something new to add to WCP's image tools so I just tried this in chatgpt with this: i need a prompt to put a cover image on a 3d mockup of a book or a series box of an [x] number of books. it needs to create a spine with the title and authors name from the cover image. the book size is a standard 6x9 paperback book with a 1/2" thick spine. the view should b 3/4 view showing the spine at the left of the cover image. can you give me the prompt and create the image? It gave me the second image below. ( I should have said on a white background) So i asked: "can i have the prompt that created this?" Absolutely. Here is the prompt that created the mockup, cleaned up slightly so it’s easier to reuse: Create a cinematic, high-end photorealistic 3D paperback book mockup using the uploaded cover image as the exact front-cover artwork. The physical book is a standard 6 × 9 inch trade paperback with an approximately 0.5-inch spine. Show the book standing upright in a three-quarter view, with the spine clearly visible on the LEFT side of the front cover. The front cover should remain the dominant visible surface. Preserve the uploaded cover artwork faithfully: - Deep red and black leather-like texture - Ornate antique gold corner filigree - Crimson occult/ritual compass design - Large silver-white title typography - Red ampersand and decorative flourishes - Gold subtitle - Framed author-name panel Do not redesign or substantially alter the original cover. Create a matching professionally designed spine based on the cover artwork.

I was going to say that I didn't like 3D mockups because they look so fake, but this actually looks really good.

@Michael Culp Cool. Good to know.
Coming soon!!
Last Day to get WCP EVERYTHING for $22 a month / $200/Year Start your 14 day trial at WordCrafter.pro and check it out and lock in the current rate. I'm happy to give help as needed. ****** More new stuff rolling out shortly built i the last few days all built but not tested and once tested will be included into WCP. More to come but I was binging and do need to slow down. These came from my work in two other tools and just needed to get out, there;s a much longer list. BookCrafter, BookWeaver, the StoryDB in Narrativecrafter, genres, tropes, prose quality ALL have been updated. Currently 52 books have been created with BookWeaver.pro (Separate App--equivalent to Bookcrafter in WCP). New skills - Adaptation Room: turns a novel into a screenplay or stage play, chapter by chapter, against a page or runtime budget. Optional shot lists and blocking. - Hook Forge: mines hooks from the manuscript, writes new ones, builds teasers, fits hooks to each channel, and repairs weak ones. Keeps a Hook Bank. - Revision Planner: turns every source of feedback into one ordered, tracked revision plan with work orders. - LEXA Naming Studio: names checked against real US birth records by birth decade, cast collision checks, invented-language names, pen names, and a Name Registry. Replaces the old banned-names list with tiered flags; rolling that out to the seven skills that carry the old list is still your call. - Author Brand Profile: one saved brand profile per pen name, with a tool that checks copy against it. Existing skills upgraded - Story Development Room: Premise Review with an Engine Test for length fit, and motifs planned as arcs. - Prose Doctor: every edit can be kept or rejected individually, with a protect list and Word tracked-changes export. Also fixes your two incomplete installed copies. - Book Marketing Team: reads the brand profile, and turns tropes into KDP keywords, categories, and ad angles. - Hook Forge v1.1: uses the brand profile. - Book Merch Team: A+ Content planning and special editions (edges, foil, endpapers, costing). -
Coming soon!!

@Mitch White I was thinking of doing the same once I have some projects finished. I just have to get there. I have two written in draft. It is just getting from initial drafts to something I'm happy with that is taking time, but in theory these could be two different pen names given they are in different genres.
