Good bones, but it invents things I didn't ask for

I used this to import a completed nonfiction manuscript (~14,700 words, 14 full chapters) rather than write from scratch, so this review is specifically about the import/production workflow, not the AI-drafting features.

What worked well: Chapter text imported cleanly and accurately - I compared the output word-for-word against my original document, and it was an exact match, no unwanted paraphrasing. The AI-generated cover art was genuinely good, on-genre, and better than I expected for a first pass. The genre/subgenre categorization and metadata setup were straightforward.

What didn't work, and why it matters: My manuscript had an Introduction and a Conclusion in addition to 14 numbered chapters. The import silently dropped both, with no warning, because they weren't titled "Chapter N: …" - including a detailed medical disclaimer that lived inside the Introduction, which got replaced by a generic one-line legal disclaimer I never wrote. I only caught this by manually checking every page.

More concerning: the tool generated an "Acknowledgments" page on its own, thanking a specific editor and beta readers who don't exist; I have neither. It also wrote an author bio with fabricated professional credentials I never provided. Nothing prompted these; the tool just filled gaps with plausible-sounding content instead of leaving them blank or flagging that it needed input from me.

Bottom line: Fine as a formatting and cover-design tool if you're willing to proofread every single page before publishing, especially anything it generated rather than anything you wrote yourself. Do not trust it to leave your content alone or to flag what it couldn't import; it will quietly drop things and quietly invent things in the same pass. For a nonfiction book, especially in any topic where credibility matters, that's a real problem worth knowing about before you buy.

You checked every page against your original, and everything you found is real. I am not going to explain any of it away.

The import: our chapter splitter is told to find exactly the number of chapters you declared and to skip anything sitting before chapter one, so a titled Introduction and a Conclusion fall outside every range and are discarded. There is no warning because the drop only shows in our server logs, never on your screen. Losing a medical disclaimer that way is worse than a formatting bug, and it should at minimum have told you what it could not place.

The Acknowledgments and the author bio: those are generated on the Metadata step, automatically, the first time the page loads on a book whose publishing fields are empty. Our prompt for the acknowledgments instructs the model to thank an editor, beta readers, family and friends, and the bio prompt asks for a professional bio. With nothing real to work from it fills that shape with plausible names and credentials, and both are switched on for export by default. That is our design being wrong, not the model misbehaving.

Two things you can do right now on the book you already have. On the Metadata step, open the Front & Back Matter section: every field there is editable and each has an include toggle, so you can rewrite the acknowledgments, clear the fabricated bio, and switch off anything you do not want in the file. To get your Introduction and Conclusion back, add them as chapters on the Outline step and paste the text into the Writing editor. Export includes every chapter that has saved text, so they come through in the right places, and your original disclaimer with them.

On our side I am taking three things from this review: the import must report what it dropped instead of dropping it silently, generated acknowledgments must not invent people, and the author bio must stay empty until you write one. Thank you for comparing word for word and then writing it down precisely. That is more useful to us than a five star review.

I hope it helps!
