# Publishing

## Overview

Take a final manuscript into readers' hands. This skill fills the
publishing metadata in `story.md`, writes the copyright page, builds and
checks the ebook and print interior, walks the author through
distribution, pricing, and launch, and keeps an inventory of the rights
the author holds. Planning files live under `publishing/` in the story
project. The author makes every account, upload, purchase, payment, and
signature; this skill prepares, checks, and records.
