Hey Sumo-lings! 🎨

We are thrilled to announce the inclusion of illustrated books on tiers 3 and 4 of this AppSumo deal!

Picture books. Coloring books. ABC books. Written and painted from a single prompt, with the same character holding their look on every single page. That last part is the hard bit, and it's the bit we got right.

Here's what you get:

Tier 3: Illustrated books included, with 50 AI illustrations a month across covers, chapter images, and illustrated pages. Need more? 1 credit per illustration after that.

Tier 4: Same deal, only with 100 AI illustrations a month.

No action needed. If you're on Tier 3 or Tier 4, it's already sitting in your account. Pick an illustrated book type, describe your idea, and watch a character show up on page one and stick around through the end.

Kids' books are one of the most consistently searched digital categories out there. Now you can make one before lunch. 📚✨

— The Inkfluence AI team

Hey, I'm Sam, founder of Inkfluence AI, writing from London where the team's been heads-down since we launched on AppSumo. You asked, we built. Here's everything that's shipped since day one:

• Story Bible: full character, world, and plot-thread tracking for fiction, with its own in-app editor. This was the #1 request from our launch Q&A, so consider it done.
• Our biggest iOS release yet: AppSumo plans now work in the mobile app across all four tiers.
• Team workspaces for agencies and teams who need more than one seat at the table.
• Drag-and-drop manuscript import (PDF, DOCX, EPUB, TXT) straight onto your dashboard.
• Character-consistent AI illustrations across an entire book, not just a random image per chapter.
• Genre-aware chapter labels (Recipe, Lesson, Day, and more) in your exports.
• A major writing-engine upgrade for fiction and non-fiction alike. Noticeably better prose, noticeably better at actually following your instructions.
• Faster, more reliable exports for large, image-heavy books.
• A redesigned homepage with live audiobook voice previews (40 voices, 14 languages) so you can hear before you commit.

None of this happens without you flagging what's missing and what's broken. Keep the questions and requests coming. We're reading every one.

We just added License Tier 4 ($499, lifetime access) for anyone outgrowing Tier 3.

It's our most complete plan yet: unlimited chapters per month, 60 audiobook chapters/month, all 38 AI audiobook voices, and 3 seats instead of 1 — so you can finally bring collaborators or clients onto your account.

Tier 4 also unlocks three features no other tier has: priority rendering, early voice access, and client workspaces, on top of translation and everything else in Tier 3 (commercial rights, advanced AI writing, all premium templates, cover designer, cloud storage, and more).

If you've been running a team, working with clients, or just need more room to produce, this is the plan built for you.

Hey Sumo-lings! 🛍️

Big one today. You can now publish and sell your books directly on Etsy — straight from Inkfluence.

Here's the flow: 1 prompt, 2 clicks, and your book is live on Etsy as an instant digital download. Fully written, cover designed, listed, and ready to earn.

Why we're excited about Etsy:

Buyers come to you. Etsy has millions of shoppers searching for digital downloads every day. You don't need an audience, an email list, or a single follower to make your first sale.

Etsy handles the boring stuff. Checkout, file delivery, payouts, even sales tax. You write (well, prompt), they run the store.

No exclusivity. Sell the same book on Gumroad, Amazon KDP, or anywhere else. Etsy is another shelf, not a cage.

AI does the listing too. Hit "Auto-fill with AI" and we'll generate your listing description and tags straight from your book. Set your price, hit publish, done.

Just connect your Etsy account from your profile and you'll see "Sell on Etsy" in the publish screen. (Heads up: Etsy charges a $0.20 listing fee plus 6.5% per sale — standard for every seller on their platform.)

Go make something sellable today. Your ideas → income, now with one more storefront. 📚✨
