Most indie authors waste years bouncing between half-learned tools. This live class is the opposite — the ten tools Coral actually uses, in the order she uses them, from blank page to translated launch. You get the live walk-through, the questions in real time, and the chance to set up your stack with Coral over your shoulder.
What We’ll Cover
The full workflow, tool by tool
1. Drafting with Claude▾
Build a Claude project for every book and series, assign emotional wounds before prompting, and pick the right model for each task. Match your beat sheet to your genre. Keep chapter outlines lean so Claude can develop scenes properly. Decide between Claude, Sudowrite, and platform alternatives based on your real bottleneck — not hype.
2. Structural editing with Marlowe▾
Run Marlowe before paying a developmental editor and feed every suggestion into Claude as targeted chapter prompts. Let Marlowe diagnose, Claude execute. Catch structural problems in minutes, not weeks.
3. Line editing with ProWritingAid▾
Run the combination report on the whole manuscript at once. Delete adverbs, kill passive voice, cut AI-isms. Know which suggestions to accept and which to reject so you sound like you, not like a robot trying to sound like you.
4. Formatting in Vellum▾
Vellum styling, ornaments, and font choices that make a paperback feel like a real book. Build dyslexia-friendly editions in five minutes. Use paragraph spacing instead of indents on novellas to add 30–50 pages and a real-book feel.
5. List building with BookFunnel▾
Lead magnets, swaps, and group promos — including which plan to buy if you run multiple pen names. The list-building plan that doesn’t depend on you posting daily.
6. Keyword research with Publisher Rocket▾
Find the keywords your target reader is actually typing. Refresh your backlist metadata so older titles keep selling. Update A11Y categories for accessibility-eligible listings.
7. Niche validation with K-lytics▾
Hungry-niche reports before you write. Stop writing into shrinking categories. Pick the trope-and-tone combinations with proven readership before the first draft begins.
8. TikTok content with AuthorScale▾
Generate TikTok slideshows directly from your manuscript without learning Canva. Turn one book into thirty short-form posts in an afternoon.
9. Translation with ScribeShadow▾
Turn one book into 28+ products with AI translation at $50–$100 per language instead of $3,000 with a human translator. Prioritise German, French, Dutch, Italian, and Spanish. Know which markets to send to Kindle Unlimited and which to push wide.
10. Wide distribution with Draft2Digital▾
When to go wide and when to stay in KU. How D2D handles box sets, pre-orders, and series pricing across Apple, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and the libraries. Audio distribution strategy across platforms.

Frequently Asked
Before you book, the quick stuff…
Do I need all ten tools to take this class?▾
No. Each section works as a standalone, and Coral tells you which tools are essential, which are nice-to-have, and which you can put off until your next launch. Many authors pick up only three or four after attending.
Is this for beginners or advanced indies?▾
Both. Beginners get a complete map of the stack so they don’t burn months on the wrong tool. Advanced indies get the chaining order, the prompt patterns, and the pen-name scaling logic that’s hard to find anywhere else.
Are there recordings?▾
No. This is a live, attend-once experience. The value is in showing up, asking your stack questions in real time, and getting Coral’s eyes on your workflow. If you know up front you can’t make the date, the standalone
on-demand class is the cheaper option ($97 vs $121) — same curriculum, instant access.
