AI Copy Editing · Three Ways to Work
Cantos reads your entire manuscript and copyedits it with a professional's ear: grammar, punctuation, spelling, style, and the consistency slips that hide across three hundred pages. Your voice stays yours. These are corrections, not rewrites, and you decide exactly how hands-on to be. $99.99 for your whole book.

Your manuscript is never used to train AI. Ever.
An illustration of Red-Line mode: every fix arrives as a Word tracked change you accept or reject, one by one, in your own word processor.
From the team behind BookDesignTemplates.com, trusted by first-time authors since 2011. Real people who have designed books for fifteen years, now working for you.

Choose Your Comfort Level
Cantos copyedits the whole manuscript and applies every correction for you, then shows you a full report of what changed and why. The fastest path to a clean book.
Cantos suggests each fix and you approve or decline them in a checklist, section by section. You stay in charge of every comma. Nothing changes without your say.
Cantos returns your manuscript with every correction as a real Word tracked change, with its reasoning. Review in Word, LibreOffice, Pages, or Google Docs, accept what you like, and upload the result.
What Gets Checked
Grammar, punctuation, and spelling, yes. But also the things a quick pass misses: consistency across chapters, style slips, and the text inside your tables and boxes. Big books are handled carefully, section by section, so nothing gets skipped. And it is honest with you: if something was left alone, the report says so.
One App, The Whole Book
Interior, cover, copy editing, and the marketing kit, all in one place, each $99.99, with bundles that save up to $150. Start with what you need today and add the rest whenever you are ready.
Why We Built This
Fifteen years ago, my team and I started BookDesignTemplates.com because first-time authors kept telling us the same thing: I wrote the book, but I have no idea how to make it look like a real one. Since then more than 70,000 authors have trusted our designs, and more than 300,000 books have been published with our work inside them.
Cantos is the next step. It is not a gimmick that spits out AI slop for you to fix. It is a professionally trained book designer that reads every word you wrote and sets it with a craftsman's care, so your book looks made, not generated.
And your words stay yours. We claim no copyright on your book. We never use your manuscript to train AI. We built this for authors, by people who have spent their lives around books. You bring the story. We help you cross the finish line.

Before You Start
No. This is a copy edit: corrections to grammar, punctuation, spelling, and consistency, not a rewrite of your prose. Cantos is trained to fix the error and leave the author alone. And in Work Together or Red-Line mode, nothing changes without your explicit approval.
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Cantos does not restructure your plot, reorder chapters, or critique your story. It makes your finished manuscript clean, correct, and consistent, the way a professional copyeditor would.
Your manuscript comes back as a Word document with every proposed fix as a real tracked change, each with a short reason. You review them in your own word processor, accept or reject one by one or all at once, then upload the resolved file. It is the same workflow professional editors use.
Most books are done in minutes. A very large manuscript is edited carefully in sections, and you can watch the progress as it goes. There is no deadline on your end, ever. Your project waits for you.
Yes. It is sent over a secure, encrypted connection, never sold, licensed, or shared, and never used to train AI. You can delete your files or your entire account at any time from your account page.
A careful, professional copy edit of your whole manuscript, your way. $99.99, with no deadline.
