+B.D. Murphy is modifying the original using AI to make it part of his Umbratools publishing system.
+
+The ideas:
+
+1) Write the novel. Make it simple while writing. Formatting is later.
+2) Have the entire project together. Not the novel text here and metadata you need somewhere else. All together. 2.a) ePub, paperback (print pdf), audio all start with the same story text, but each needs something different. Put everything into one project ISBN, book blurb, search terms, genere/categories BISAC codes, cover, etc
+3) With everything together publishing is simpler
+4) The goal is to write (human written) a novel, then use AI to help with everything else. At the end of the process there will be ePub, Paperback/Hard cover, audio versions in 10 languages.
