Bookzap: an AI book-translation platform for authors and publishers

About the project. Bookzap translates books with AI and is tuned for fiction. Authors and publishers upload a manuscript, choose target languages and receive a translated EPUB, ready for Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo and other stores, at a flat price per language per book.

The challenge. Professional translation is expensive and slow, so most indie authors never publish abroad. Bookzap needed a product that feels as simple as uploading a file, while a complex process runs underneath: reading ebook formats, translating long texts in a consistent voice and rebuilding a correctly formatted EPUB. It also needed a marketing site that speaks clearly to indie authors, small publishers and literary agents.

What we did. Loop built the platform on Laravel with Livewire and Filament. That covers the marketing site, user accounts, the customer flow, an admin panel and the blog.

Key features
• Landing page with a three-step “upload, translate, publish” story, flat pricing, audience sections and FAQ
