An AI ebook generator for nonfiction authors
EbookMuse gives nonfiction authors a complete first draft to work from. Type your idea and it plans a title and 4 to 15 chapters, writes each one and designs a cover. You then edit it into your book and export EPUB, Word or PDF.
What authors use EbookMuse for
A first draft of a short how-to book
Get about 4,000 to 21,000 words on the page, in order, so you are editing and improving on day one and not staring at chapter one.
Testing an idea before you commit
See a whole chapter plan and draft for an idea in one sitting. If the book does not hold together, you find out before you spend months on it.
A free guide for your mailing list
Use the lead magnet type to make a short guide that introduces readers to your subject and your longer books.
A companion workbook
Turn the method in a book you have already written into exercises readers can fill in.
Book ideas that suit this way of working
EbookMuse is strongest on practical nonfiction where a reader follows steps to a result.
- A beginner's guide to your craft
- A 30-day plan for one skill
- The checklist you give every new client
- What you wish you had known in year one
- A local guide only a resident could write
- A workbook for your existing book
From idea to a draft you can edit
1Describe the book
Say what it is about and who it is for. Choose the type, the tone and how many chapters you want.
2Read and rewrite
Read each chapter as it is written. Rewrite any single chapter you are not happy with, and redesign the cover if it does not fit.
3Make it yours
Export the Word file and edit it like any manuscript: add your stories, your results and your opinions, and check every fact.
What to know before you rely on it
- The writing is a first draft, not a finished book. Your examples, experience and voice are what make it worth reading.
- It is built for nonfiction: how-to guides, lead magnets, workbooks and written courses. It has no special features for novels or short stories.
- It does not publish to Amazon or any other store. You download the files and upload them yourself.
- It does not make audiobooks or translations.
- Planning and writing up to three books and reading them in full is free. Downloading PDF, EPUB and Word files needs a paid plan, which also includes a licence to sell what you make.
Publishing a book you drafted with AI
If you publish on Amazon KDP, you must declare AI-generated text and images when you upload, and that still applies after you have edited the draft heavily. The KDP rules on AI content explains the definitions.
KDP accepts EPUB and Word files for ebooks, which are two of the formats EbookMuse exports. Before you set a price, the KDP royalty calculator shows what you keep at the 35% and 70% rates, and how to sell ebooks online compares Amazon with selling direct.
Common questions
- Can I publish a book written with EbookMuse under my own name?
- Yes. Paid plans include a licence to sell what you make, and your author name goes on the cover. Edit the draft so that it reflects what you know, and declare AI-generated content where a store requires it, as Amazon KDP does.
- Does EbookMuse write fiction?
- It is not designed for it. EbookMuse plans books as how-to guides, lead magnets, workbooks and written courses. For a novel you would be better served by a general writing assistant or your own drafting.
- How long are the books?
- Each chapter is about 1,000 to 1,400 words and a book has 4 to 15 chapters, so books run from about 4,000 to 21,000 words. That suits short practical nonfiction.
- Can I keep editing after I download?
- Yes. The Word (DOCX) export opens in any word processor, so you can revise it yourself or send it to an editor.
