Books with a job
Four books authors make.
Each format has its own chapter rules, so a workbook reads like a workbook and a report reads like a report. Chapter counts below are typical; set your own before the outline is written.
Novel

How it fits your work
From your material to a file in three steps.
- 01
Bring the premise or the outline
One sentence, a synopsis, or a full chapter list. Pick the format: guide, report, workbook, novel, or coloring book.
- 02
Approve the chapter plan
For fiction, each summary names the viewpoint, the setting, and what changes. For nonfiction, each chapter solves one problem. Edit until the plan is yours.
- 03
Write, revise, export
Write one chapter at a time or all in order. Rewrite any chapter with notes, compare versions, then export EPUB for the stores and PDF for print.
Inside the writing room
The parts of publishing that usually take a week.
Continuity across chapters
Every chapter is written with summaries of the ones before it. Names, tense, and viewpoint hold in fiction. Terms hold in nonfiction.
Cover at the store ratio
Pick a style, write a direction, and compare versions side by side at 1600 × 2560, the KDP ebook ratio.
EPUB, PDF, and DOCX from one manuscript
Choose the interior theme, page size, and font once. The same design carries into every export.
AI disclosure made clear
KDP asks whether AI made the text, images, or translations. The disclosure guide explains how to answer for a book made here.
A straight answer
Where it fits, and where it doesn't.
A good fit when
- You have a premise and want a full first draft to revise
- You publish short nonfiction titles on a schedule
- You want a coloring book for KDP print without drawing it
Not the right tool when
- You expect a finished novel with no revision. The draft is a draft; your edit pass makes it a book.
- You want a memoir. Chapters are written from a plan, not from your memories.
- You want illustrated interiors. Apart from coloring books, interiors are text.
