Publishing
Build the book you need from the book you’ve written: a manuscript to send to an agent, a reading copy for friends, or an ebook and a paperback for the stores.
Each way of building the book is a build configuration: the formats it writes, the scenes it includes (drafts or only finished ones), and how it looks. A new book comes with four: a submission manuscript, a reading copy, an ebook and a paperback. Change them, copy them or add your own, then click Build, and the files are ready.
Manuscripts in standard manuscript format, as PDF and Word, are free and always complete. Septangular Publish, a one-time purchase, adds ebooks for Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play and Kindle; print-ready interiors for KDP Print and IngramSpark, as paperback, hardcover and large print; cover templates with the spine worked out for your page count; front and back matter; editions with their own ISBNs; and box sets of a series. Without a licence, those build as a sample of their first three chapters, so you can see them first.
