Learn how PublishDrive’s Publishing Assistant helps you go from manuscript to marketplace faster with two AI-powered features: Metadata Generator and Cover Image Generator. In this customer success webinar, we walk through how the tools analyze your book file, suggest optimized metadata (title, subtitle, series, pen name, blurb, categories, keywords, pricing), and generate multiple cover concepts based on scenes pulled from your manuscript—plus how credits work, what file formats are supported, and how to customize and download your results.
