Step-by-Step Book Writing Tutorial

1
Create a new book project

Go to Book Studio and click "New Book." Enter your book title, select a genre (fiction, non-fiction, self-help, etc.), write a short description, and define your target audience. These settings help the AI match its writing style to your vision.

2
Build your outline

Use the outline panel to create chapter titles and add descriptions for each chapter. Include key points, themes, or plot events. You can also use the AI to suggest an outline based on your book concept. A solid outline produces better chapter content.

3
Generate your first chapter

Select a chapter from the outline and click Generate. The AI writes the chapter based on your outline description, genre, and book settings. Review the output and make any immediate edits before moving to the next chapter.

4
Continue chapter by chapter

Work through the outline, generating each chapter in sequence. The AI reads previous chapters to maintain narrative flow, character consistency, and thematic development. Take time to edit each chapter before generating the next one for best results.

5
Edit and polish the manuscript

After all chapters are generated, do a full review. Use the chapter editor to rewrite sections, improve transitions between chapters, tighten prose, and ensure consistency. The inline AI can help rephrase, expand, or condense any passage.

6
Export and publish

Export your completed book as EPUB for eBook distribution or PDF for print-on-demand. The export includes table of contents, chapter headers, and professional formatting ready for publishing platforms.

Book Writing Tutorial FAQ

Should I generate all chapters at once?
We recommend generating one chapter at a time and reviewing each before moving on. This lets you make adjustments that the AI incorporates into subsequent chapters, resulting in better overall consistency and quality. The sequential approach also lets you refine your outline as the book develops.
How detailed should my outline be?
More detail in your outline produces better chapter content. For each chapter, include the main topic, key points to cover, any specific scenes or arguments, and how it connects to surrounding chapters. A few bullet points per chapter is the minimum; a paragraph of description per chapter produces the best results.
Can I regenerate a chapter if I am not satisfied?
Yes. You can regenerate any chapter at any time. The AI will use your current outline and any edited previous chapters as context. You can also modify the chapter description in the outline before regenerating to guide the AI toward a different approach.
Is the EPUB export compatible with Kindle?
Yes. The EPUB export follows the standard EPUB format that is accepted by Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), Apple Books, Google Play Books, Kobo, and other major eBook distribution platforms. The file includes proper metadata, table of contents, and chapter navigation.
