FAQ

Honest answers.

Everything you might want to ask before trusting Sandrine. with your manuscript. No jargon.

· About Sandrine.

Sandrine. is an AI publishing assistant for independent authors on Amazon KDP. She handles everything you hate after writing — editing, interior formatting, cover generation, Amazon keywords, ebook conversion, author website, and launch campaign. All in one place. All in your voice.

Any independent author publishing on Amazon KDP. Especially authors with multiple books, hybrid or multilingual manuscripts, or anyone who struggles with the technical side of publishing after writing. No technical knowledge needed.

No. You can use each tool individually — keywords, cover, formatting — without uploading your full manuscript. But if you do give her your manuscript, she reads it first and everything she does is grounded in your voice.

Most tools apply generic rules to your writing. Sandrine. reads your manuscript before touching anything. She maps your voice, your patterns, your intentional choices — and learns the difference between a mistake and a choice. Everything she suggests comes from how you actually write.

Yes. Sandrine. is available in English and French. More languages are coming.

· Privacy & security

Yes. Your manuscript is stored securely and never shared with anyone. It is processed automatically, only when you trigger an action. No human reads your manuscript.

Two services may process your manuscript content. Anthropic Claude — for editing, formatting, and structure. Our AI gateway — for book descriptions and keywords. DataForSEO only receives your book title and genre, never your manuscript. No marketing or analytics tools ever see your text.

No. Never. Anthropic's commercial API policy explicitly prohibits using API inputs for model training. We do not build datasets. We do not fine-tune models on your writing. Your work stays yours.

By default, your manuscript is automatically deleted 30 days after your last activity. If you want to keep your project intact in Sandrine., you can activate "Keep my manuscript" in your project settings — it stays until you decide to delete it manually. You can delete your manuscript at any time, instantly and permanently.

Yes — at any time. In your project settings, click "Delete my manuscript now" for immediate and permanent deletion. You can also delete your entire project from the dashboard.

Never. We do not sell, share, or monetize your data in any way.

· Features

Before editing anything, Sandrine. reads your manuscript and maps your voice — your rhythms, your intentional choices, your style patterns. She identifies what is a mistake and what is a choice. Every editing suggestion is grounded in how you actually write, not in generic rules.

You start with a 10-minute creative moodboard session — drop images, colors, words that represent your book. Sandrine. acts as art director and generates 3 distinct cover concepts from your vision. Every concept passes a KDP compliance check. You export a print PDF and an ebook cover, both ready to upload.

It converts your interior PDF to a Kindle ebook where every page is preserved exactly as designed. No broken formatting on Kindle. No disappearing white space. Every visual choice survives.
