Direct answer
Prepare the complete planned manuscript for review, inspect the manuscript and publishing metadata in the Finish Room, then explicitly approve finalization. Finalization freezes one immutable snapshot and queues EPUB/PDF rendering.
Step by step
The reliable workflow
- 1
Prepare for review
Verify all planned chapters are accepted and enter review-ready state.
- 2
Inspect the Finish Room
Review chapter order, publishing details, disclosure guidance, and previews.
- 3
Save metadata
Store the approved title, author, description, language, keywords, and category suggestions.
- 4
Approve finalization
Explicitly freeze the current version; then follow publication status until both files are terminal.
Review-ready is not frozen
You can still correct chapters and publishing details. Any change that affects the manuscript should be reviewed before finalization.
Immutable means reproducible
The snapshot identifies exactly which approved content and metadata produced a render generation.
No retailer submission
BookWriter prepares files and guidance. It does not claim retailer approval or upload the book on the author’s behalf.
Frequently asked
Can ChatGPT finalize because I said the draft looks good?
No. The author must explicitly request finalization of the reviewed manuscript.
