Answers before you commit.

The five things every indie author wants to know before letting an AI touch their Amazon listing.

How does StoryShip help me sell more books?
StoryShip rewrites your Amazon description using proven copy frameworks, picks 7 high-traffic keywords readers actually search for, and recommends the categories where your genre is browsed most. Authors typically see better click-through rates from search and stronger conversion from category placement — the two levers that move the needle on a listing.
Do I need technical skills?
No. If you can paste your book description into a form, you can use StoryShip. There's no software to install, no SEO jargon to learn, and no jargon in the output. You get plain-English recommendations you can copy directly into your KDP dashboard.
What makes this different from hiring a VA?
A VA charges $25–50/hour, takes days to turn around changes, and gives you subjective recommendations. StoryShip runs in under a minute, costs a flat $29/month for unlimited runs, and grounds every keyword and category pick in current Amazon browse data — not guesswork. The before/after score on every run also proves the ROI, something no VA can show you.
Is there a free trial?
You get 3 full Amazon listing optimizations for free — no credit card, no signup friction, no auto-charge after a trial period. Run them on your own books, see the before/after scores, and only upgrade to Pro if the results move the needle for you.
How does the billing work?
Pro is $29/month, billed through Stripe. You can cancel from your account settings at any time — your access continues through the end of your current billing period, no questions asked. No annual commitments, no cancellation fees.
