Your book isn't dead. Its launch is over. Those aren't the same thing. Meet Backlist Resurrector Pro, from the Darkling Collective. Start with your book's genre, tropes, and current blurb. Add what you've tried, the assets you already have, and your biggest relaunch question. The tool uses that context to build an AI-powered resurrection plan: fresh positioning, hooks, and a focused campaign to work through. You can also bring in your manuscript through Book DNA. This is a fictional demo book, not a sales result. You'll need your own supported AI API key. Give your backlist another chance to find its readers.
Your workflow
Three steps to get started.
Describe the book and its history.
Add its title, genre, tropes, blurb, distribution, review range, and what you have already tried. List the assets you can use.
Ask for the plan you need.
Add your biggest relaunch question and an optional cover image. Select your AI provider and model, then click Resurrect This Book.
Review, choose, and execute.
Compare the blurbs, select useful hooks and email copy, and adapt the 14-day calendar. Copy individual sections or the full plan, or print it to PDF.

Before you start
What you need.
Your own AI API key
The app purchase and AI usage are separate. Choose a supported provider in Settings and use your own API account.
Book details and a realistic starting point
The more accurate your blurb, marketing history, and available assets, the more useful the plan. You can start without a manuscript upload.
Time to review and carry out the plan
You decide which suggestions fit your budget, schedule, book, and audience. The app drafts a plan; you publish posts, send email, and manage advertising.
