How do I start a new book?
Go to Start your book. It takes a minute:
- Your title and your name, plus your genre if you know it.
- The kind of book, the size and the printer. We suggest a size for your genre. You can change it later.
- How do you want to start?
- Write it here. You start on an empty page in our writer, and you see real book pages as you go.
- Bring a Word file. A .docx from Word, Pages or Google Docs. It opens in the writer, split into chapters and ready to edit. See Can I bring in a book I already wrote?
- Just the cover. You go straight to the Cover Maker. Bring the words later, or never.
Starting a book is free, and so is everything up to the clean downloads. See Can I see my cover before I pay?
When your words are ready, press Make it a book in the writer. See How do my words become a print book and an ebook?
