--- title: "Proofbound — Finally Finish That Book" description: "Two ways to finish your book: let Proofbound write and typeset it, or connect Proofbound to Claude and write it yourself while we handle the print-ready production. Free to render, $29.95 for your first printed copy, $19.95 each additional." canonical: "https://proofbound.com/" source_route: "/" updated: "2026-09-03" --- # Finally finish that book You've had the idea for years. Proofbound gets it printed. The hard part was never the ideas — it's everything after. Trim sizes, bleed, embedded fonts, a spine that's the right width, files a printer will actually accept. Proofbound does that part and hands you a real book. ## Two ways to finish it Same book at the end. Pick the one that fits how you work. ### Write it with us Tell us the title and what the book is about. We draft every chapter, design a cover, and produce print-ready files. No account setup beyond an email, nothing to install. ### Write it in your chatbot Already drafting with an AI assistant? Connect Proofbound to it and keep writing where you are — on the model you already pay for. We handle the typesetting and hand back a finished book. The connector endpoint is `https://mcp.proofbound.com/mcp`. It works with Claude — Desktop, web, and Claude Code. It's a standard remote MCP server, so other MCP-capable clients may work too (untested). New to it?
