Standardize early manuscript development across your list.
Small presses often receive promising material in uneven forms: essays, talks, memoir fragments, teaching notes, and half-assembled drafts. COAB gives your team a repeatable intake workflow before editorial investment.
A strong fit for
- Multi-author or backlist development projects
- Authors with valuable expertise but messy files
- Early acquisitions that need structure validation
- Editorial teams that need a consistent first pass
A repeatable first pass for manuscript development.
COAB is not a replacement for your professional judgment. It gives you a faster way to organize the material before the deeper human work begins.

Export DOCX for your normal production pipeline
Built for source material, not blank pages.
Concepts of a Book works best when the author already has sermons, journals, interviews, essays, talks, notes, PDFs, DOCX files, or transcripts. The product helps turn that material into a coherent outline and manuscript draft.
The 25-pack is built for publishers and agencies with repeated manuscript-development needs.
Buy project slots once and use them when new client or author projects arrive.
