What Bookeen does
Plans the book with you
Start from a one-line idea, your notes or a draft. Bookeen turns it into a book brief with the reader, purpose, length and an outline you can edit before any chapter is written.
Writes every chapter
Bookeen drafts the chapters from the approved outline. Templates cover how-to guides, lead magnets, workbooks, course companions, research reports and novels, and a children's book preset writes picture-book text.
Revises on your instructions
Ask for changes to the brief, a chapter or the tone. Regenerating a chapter costs half the credits of its first draft, so revision stays affordable.
Designs the cover
Bookeen creates an ebook cover at 1600 × 2560 pixels and a print cover that lays out the back cover, spine and front cover with 1/8-inch bleed.
Exports usable files
Download EPUB 3, a PDF for reading, a 6 × 9 inch print-ready PDF, Word (DOCX), Markdown and cover images. Exports and extra formats cost no extra credits.
Offers free writing tools
The Word Counter and Name Generator are free to use for counting manuscript words and pages, and for naming characters, places and pen names.
What makes Bookeen different
One workspace from idea to files
Planning, drafting, revision, covers and exports stay in the same project, so you never copy chapters between a chat window, a word processor and a layout tool.
You decide what goes in the book
You review the brief and outline before drafting starts, and you can change any chapter afterwards. AI does the drafting; you keep the editorial voice and check the facts before you publish.
Files made for real readers
EPUB files follow the EPUB 3 standard, and the print PDF comes with a matching cover wrap that includes the spine. Always preview the files in the store's own tool before you publish.
Simple, page-based pricing
One credit covers about one page, roughly 400 English words or 650 Chinese characters. You own what you make, including the manuscript, cover and files, with full commercial rights.
