Getting Started

Four ways to start

Click the purple "New Book" button at the top right. The menu offers:

• Write a Book with AI: type a short prompt; AI generates the full ebook.
• Browse Templates: pre-built outlines by genre. Fastest path to a structured first draft.
• Start from scratch: a blank book with just a title and category. Best when you already know what you want to write.
• Import content: bring a .docx, .epub, .pdf, .txt, or .md file in. Chapters auto-detect from headings.

Writing a good AI prompt

For the "Write a Book with AI" path, the prompt shapes the entire book. A few rules of thumb:

• Be specific about the topic and the angle: "A beginner's guide to sourdough for busy parents" beats "a cookbook".
• Name the audience: who is this for? Their experience level changes the voice and depth.
• Aim for one to three sentences. Prompts past around 5,000 characters trigger a "this looks like a pasted manuscript" prompt; if you already have content, use Import instead.
• Skip the structure: AI handles chapter outline. Just describe the book you want to read.

Steps

The Chapters panel is the first tab in the editor's left sidebar.

1. Open the book in the editor.
2. Click Chapters in the left sidebar (it is the first tab).
3. Click "+ Add" at the top right of the chapter list.
4. The new empty chapter opens with a "Start Your Chapter" prompt.
5. Click "AI Assist" for a first draft, or "Write manually" to type your own.

Reorder

Open the Chapters panel (left sidebar). On each chapter row, a six-dot handle sits at the far left. Grab it and drag the chapter up or down. The order in the panel is the order the book exports in.

Rename

On each chapter row, a pencil icon appears next to the chapter title (mouseover hint reads "Rename chapter"). Click it to make the title editable, type your new title, then press Enter to save.

Delete a chapter

Hover over a chapter in the sidebar and click the trash icon. The chapter moves to the Bin, it is not gone forever.

Restore a deleted chapter

At the bottom of the chapter sidebar, expand the Bin section. Find the chapter you deleted and click Restore. It drops back into its original position.

Steps

On your Home tab, find the book you want to change. Click the three-dot menu on its card. Pick Duplicate to create a full copy (useful before big experiments) or Delete to remove the book. Deleting is permanent, so make sure you are ready.
