Shape your manuscript for publication.

Upload a finished manuscript — from Scrivener, Word, Google Docs, wherever you drafted it — and get back a professionally formatted, print-ready DOCX and PDF. No formatter to hire, no hours of manual layout work.

How it works

1. Upload

Upload your manuscript as a .docx file. Rigel scans it for likely chapter breaks — bold text, a larger font size, or real Word heading styles all count — and shows you what it found so you can confirm, adjust, or add any it missed before you pay anything. No named styles required.

2. Choose your formatting

Pick your target platform — Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Barnes & Noble Press, or Draft2Digital — a trim size, and one of six chapter-opening styles — Drop Cap, Raised Initial, Small Caps, and more. Margins and gutter are calculated automatically for your chosen platform and manuscript length.

3. Download

Get back a print-ready DOCX and PDF, saved to your account. Up to 3 exports of the same manuscript with different settings, within 30 days — try a different trim size or opening style without paying again.

No subscriptions — ever

Pay once per manuscript, or go Unlimited for every manuscript you ever format.

Per Manuscript

Up to 3 exports of the same manuscript, within 30 days

Coming Fall 2026

Unlimited

Every manuscript you format, forever — no per-manuscript charge, no expiring exports. A per-manuscript purchase in the last 12 months credits 50% of its price toward this.
