What does it read to write the copy?

The book’s own text and metadata — so the descriptions reflect what is actually inside, not a generic template.

Can I steer the tone or add a selling point?

Yes. An optional editor note — an award, a comp title, a hook — is treated as authoritative and woven through all three styles.

What languages are supported?

Copy is written in the language of the book.

Are the descriptions ready to publish?

They are strong drafts that follow ONIX conventions; we recommend a quick human review before publishing.

From manuscript to store copy

A good description is the difference between a browse and a sale. Origami reads the book and writes back-cover copy in three ready-to-use styles — back cover, catalog and bookseller’s pick — each in a short and a long version, written in the language of the book and tuned to its genre.

Add an editor note — a selling point, an award, a comp title — and it is woven through all three as authoritative. Short and long versions follow the ONIX text-type conventions retailers expect, so the copy pastes straight into your store and feeds.
