Submission

Overview

Get a finished manuscript out the door. This skill checks submission readiness, drafts the submission package (query letter, pitch, synopsis, blurb, comp titles), builds the manuscript in submission format, and keeps a tracker of where the book has gone. Package files live under submission/ in the story project. The author sends every submission themselves; this skill prepares materials and records outcomes.

Prerequisites

A story project with a complete or near-complete draft. Verify story.md exists in the project root and read its status, genre, sub-genre, premise, author (or authors for a co-written book), and contact fields. If status is not complete or revising, tell the user the package can be drafted now but the readiness check will fail until the draft is finished.
