A Perfect Translation Is Not Enough.
You spend months, even years, perfecting your manuscript. You invest in a high-fidelity translation. And then... what? You're handed a file and left stranded in a new market, with no map and no weapons.
A translation isn't the finish line. It's the start of a new war for the reader's attention. To win, you need an arsenal.
The $10,000 Question
What happens next is the part that keeps authors and indie publishers awake at night: The strategy. The branding. The cover art. The ad copy. The press release.
This is what a traditional agency charges $10,000 to fumble over in 12 weeks - if you’re lucky enough to even get a call back. It’s the insurmountable barrier that keeps 99% of translated books from ever finding their audience.
Our Answer: The AI Marketing Director.
We tasked our AI with a new mission: Don't just translate the book. Build the entire launch campaign. Act as the publicist, the brand strategist, and the creative director. Analyze the translated masterpiece and deliver a professional-grade marketing arsenal. Instantly.
Weapon I: The Strategic Core
No one remembers the plot. They remember the punchline. The one devastating idea your book plants like a splinter in the reader’s mind. The AI's first job is to find your book's Master Concept - its intellectual and emotional core. It is the North Star that guides every other decision.
The relentless, intelligent search for an 'authentic' self is the very process that makes one feel like a fraud. The harder you try to be real, the more you perform; the more you understand, the less you can simply 'be'.
Doctrine II: The Audience Trinity
Your book isn't for "everyone." That's a marketing fantasy. The AI performs psychographic warfare, building a sophisticated map of your Audience Trinity. It moves beyond demographics into their deepest motivations and fears, identifying the Primary, Secondary, and Crossover readers you need to win.
“...her own high level of self-awareness and intelligence is not a gift, but a curse that makes her feel like a fraud...”
“...his motivation is intellectual curiosity and appreciation for the craft of writing.”
“She is drawn to the popular concept of 'impostor syndrome' because it gives a name to her fear that she isn't as competent or 'put together' as she appears...”
Tactic III: The Visual Identity
A book cover isn't decoration. It is a weapon. It is the physical embodiment of the Master Concept, designed to communicate your book's soul in a single glance. The Publicist acts as a world-class Art Director, creating multiple, distinct creative briefs that you can give to a designer or an AI image generator. It's strategy made visible.

'You wake up. You perform. You analyze your own performance. You hate yourself for it. For one Tokyo schoolgirl, a single day becomes a battlefield of quiet desperation. Her mind is a razor, dissecting every moment... What happens when the search for authenticity is the very thing that makes you feel like a fraud?'
A great cover starts with a great idea. The Publicist doesn't give you one - it gives you an array of 3-5 distinct, strategically-sound creative directions. Each comes with a full brief, including a core metaphor and a ready-to-use prompt, de-risking your creative process entirely. Below is just one of the concepts it generated for Schoolgirl.
Abstract expressionist style. A vast, textured canvas primarily in a muted, somber grey... a single, small, but intensely vibrant pink square... a single, thin, black line trickles down like a tear or a crack...
- The Fractured Key
- The Scattering Thoughts
- The Empty Stage
- The Unraveled Knot
Tactic IV: The Content Engine
Strategy is useless without content. The AI becomes your content factory, generating a battery of ready-to-use assets - from ad hooks to podcast pitches to social media scripts - all derived from the Master Concept and tailored to your Audience Trinity.

Ready-to-Pitch Podcast
Title: The Original Impostor
Concept: This episode explores the central paradox of the book: that the intelligent, obsessive pursuit of an 'authentic' self is precisely what makes us feel like frauds. It would use the narrator's journey as a case study to discuss the modern phenomenon of 'impostor syndrome'...
Ideal Guest: A clinical psychologist specializing in self-perception.
Ready-to-Post Social Media Script
TikTok
(Scene: Aesthetically pleasing shots of someone writing in a journal, looking out a rainy window... Moody, lo-fi music.) Text Overlays: 'You know that feeling...' '...when you're so self-aware...' '...that you can't stop analyzing your own personality...' '...and it makes you feel completely fake?' 'That's the book.' (Final shot of the "Schoolgirl" book cover).
Tactic V: The 90-Day Battle Plan
Finally, the AI eliminates "what now?" paralysis by generating a concrete, step-by-step 90-day launch roadmap. It tells you exactly what to do and when, explicitly referencing the assets it just created for you. It's your battle plan for success.
