An ebook generator for course creators

What course creators make with EbookMuse
A written course
Your syllabus as 4 to 15 lessons of about 1,000 to 1,400 words each. Sell it as a text-only course or give it to students who prefer reading to video.
A companion workbook
Exercises and prompts for each module, so students practise what a lesson covered.
A free preview guide
A short lead magnet that teaches the first idea in your course and invites readers to enrol.
A script outline before you record
A full written draft of every lesson shows you gaps and repetition before you spend time filming.
Course ideas that work in writing
Skills with clear steps and a visible result suit a written course best.
- Spreadsheets for small shop owners
- A first website in a weekend
- Watercolour basics in eight lessons
- Email marketing for one-person businesses

From syllabus to written lessons
1Describe the course
Say what students will be able to do at the end and who they are. Choose the written course or workbook type and set the number of chapters to match your modules.
2Check the order
Read the chapter plan as a student would. Rewrite any single lesson that assumes knowledge they do not have yet.
3Add your teaching
Put in your own examples, exercises and answers. Export a PDF for students and a Word file to keep editing.
What it does and does not do
- It makes written material only. It does not record or host video, run quizzes or manage enrolments. You upload the files to whatever course platform you use.
- Lessons come as a first draft. You know where students get stuck, so add those warnings and worked examples yourself.
- A book has at most 15 chapters. For a longer course, split it into parts and make a book for each.
- There are no team features, so one person works on a book at a time.
- Planning and writing up to three books and reading them in full is free. Downloading needs a paid plan, which includes a licence to sell what you make.
Planning the length of your course material
A 10-lesson written course comes to roughly 10,000 to 14,000 words. The word count to pages tool shows how many pages that is in your chosen size, and this guide explains the sums.
To attract students, pair the course with a free preview. How to make a lead magnet ebook shows how to pick a topic that leads naturally to enrolment.
Common questions
- Can EbookMuse create a whole online course?
- It creates the written part: lessons as chapters, or a workbook. It does not make video, quizzes or a course website. Many creators use the written draft as their lesson scripts and student handouts.
- How many lessons can a written course have?
- Between 4 and 15 chapters per book, each about 1,000 to 1,400 words. For more lessons, make more than one book.
- Which format should I give students?
- PDF for most students, because it opens anywhere and prints cleanly. EPUB suits students who read on an e-reader. Keep the Word file for your own edits.
- Can I sell a course written with EbookMuse?
- Yes, on a paid plan, which includes a licence to sell what you make. Review and adapt the draft first so that it teaches your way.
