Wren — pointing

Six headline features below. Nine in the feature grid. Seven more illustrated. None of it requires you to learn a new app.

Voice DNA: Wren learns how you write

Paste your existing writing: LinkedIn posts, podcast transcripts, blog drafts. Wren extracts three layers (sentence rhythm, vocabulary, explanation style) and writes every chapter in your voice. He won't insert filler or invent phrases you've never used.

Voice DNA: Wren learns how you write

Sequential drafting with Wren

Paste your notes, outlines, or rough ideas. Wren structures them into polished chapters that sound like you wrote every word. Sequential mode keeps chapters connected; chapter regeneration is one click away.

Sequential drafting with Wren

Professional Formatting

Skip the $2,000 interior designer. Choose your book size and get print-ready files with correct margins, typography, and page numbers, automatically.

Cover Design

A professional cover is the difference between a click and a scroll-past. Generate 300 DPI covers that match your topic, tone, and audience.

Cover Design

Custom Illustrations

Explain a concept once; get a custom diagram, infographic, or chapter illustration that matches your book's visual identity.

KDP-Ready Export

One click to PDF, ePub, or Kindle, all meeting Amazon KDP specs. No back-and-forth with formatting errors or rejected uploads.

Built into every Wren run

Nine things Wren does so you don't have to.

Each one solves a specific reason coaches, founders, consultants, and operators give for not finishing their book. None of them require you to learn a new app.

VOICE DNA

Reads your existing writing, then writes new chapters in your exact voice.

Wren ingests your LinkedIn posts, podcast transcripts, newsletters, and notes. The voice profile updates as you write. The draft comes back recognizable to anyone who follows your work.
  • Pulls from any platform, even messy export files
  • Tone, cadence, banned phrases tracked per author

THE WIZARD

Five minutes from notes to a structured 200-page draft.

Paste in what you already have. Wren assembles an outline, fills the chapters, and hands you something you can read in the time it takes to make coffee.
  • Outline to first draft in minutes, not weeks
  • Stays in your voice profile from the first chapter

KDP EXPORT

Files that pass Amazon's checks the first time.

Interior PDF with the correct margins and bleed. Cover wrap with spine width calculated from your page count. ePub for Kindle. Upload, approve the proof, list it.
  • 6×9, 5.5×8.5, and other KDP trim sizes
  • ISBN, pricing, description checklist in one place

Six more things, while you're here

Everything else Wren ships out of the box.

Chapter regeneration

Rewrite a single chapter from your edits without restarting the whole manuscript.

Cover design

Three editorial concepts on first generation, refined with type and palette tweaks.

Print formatting

Correct margins, gutters, bleed, and page numbers. Calculated automatically.

Wren illustrations

Custom chapter art, diagrams, and infographics matched to your book's voice.

Outline builder

Drag, rename, delete. The structural decisions live on one screen.

Voice training

Wren refreshes your voice profile as your writing evolves over the months.

FAQ

Questions about features.

  • No. Every feature is built around plain text input and visual previews. There are no Adobe-style export menus, no plugin installations, no fonts to license.

  • Yes. Anything generated inside Built & Written is yours under copyright, including illustrations. The KDP-ready files are also yours, with no royalty share or usage limits.

  • Wren is designed for 200-300 page non-fiction books. Manuscripts up to 80,000 words run smoothly. Longer projects may need chapter-by-chapter regeneration, which is built in.

  • Every feature is optional. Voice DNA is the heart of the product, but you can skip the wizard, use your own cover, or import a finished manuscript directly into the editor.
