Q: What parts are coming, 1) word export? 2) create the full book at once? (chapter by chapter not forced)
3) save all generated outlines (so can reuse one that isn't used now)? 4) upload documents with information 5) control book and chapter length?

A: Hi! Great list of questions. Here's where things stand: 1. Word export is already available. 2. Auto-generating the full book in one go is on the roadmap. 3. You can actually generate as many outlines as you want without using a credit, so you can explore different directions and pick the one you like best before committing. 4. Document upload is something we're working toward. 5. More control...

A: Hi Joanne! Great questions. For your existing manuscript, the best approach is to paste key sections into the relevant fields during setup, like your writing sample and chapter descriptions. There's no direct document upload currently, and pasting 35,000 words in one go isn't how the platform is structured. It works best when you use your existing content to guide and inform the AI chapter by...
Great, thought so .. you mention about editing in Word etc .. isn't the only expert option PDF or MD (Which doesnt work on my iMac). Im expecting I export in PDF and then convert the PDF to word.
Hi there, I’m a therapist and coach. I have many books in the pipeline which are half drafts. I am aware that is not what this is for but….
If I wanted to write a book on anxiety or recovery from domestic abuse, where does it generate the data from and is it able to reference the content?
I don’t have the option for content to be incorrect or not be able to reference the writing.
Thank you

A: Hi Sandra, yes your personal quotes and citations will be included. Specific citations in eg. APA format will have to be added after the book is generated is this depends on its content. Please write us an email at [email protected] if you want to know more :)
I already have a manuscript ~550pages. Would this help with formatting and editing? I am not clear on what the practical application is beyond a questionnaire that produces a book. Can you please elaborate on the utility of your product?

A: Hi! Honest answer: First Book ai isn't a formatting or editing tool for an existing manuscript. It's built to generate a new book from scratch based on your knowledge and expertise.
That said, having 550 pages of material means you know your subject deeply. Several authors have used First Book ai to create a tighter, more focused book alongside their existing work and then layered in content...
