Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Draft My Book
General
You describe what you want, in a sentence or in a page, and you get a finished book back: a novel, a comic, a children’s picture book, a screenplay or a TV pilot, written end to end with the same characters, plot and voice the whole way through. You approve an outline before any of it is written, and you download the result in the formats Amazon KDP asks for.
Novels and non-fiction, from short to epic length. Comics, graphic novels and adult comics. Children’s picture books, including the darker ones. Screenplays, short films, TV pilots and episodes. Roast comics. And covers on their own, if the book is already written. Fiction covers romance, thriller, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, YA and literary; non-fiction covers self-help, memoir, how-to, business, history, biography and educational.
Yes, a free one, and it takes a few seconds with Google. It is what keeps your work: everything you make is saved to your account and opens on any device, so a closed tab or a flat battery costs you nothing. No card is needed to sign up or to run your free sample.
Picture books and comics take about 1-2 minutes. Screenplays take a few minutes. Novels take 30 to 60 minutes depending on length, which runs from 50,000 to 100,000 words. You can watch it happen or close the page and come back; it keeps going either way and it is in your library when you return.
Yes, in 20: English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Russian, Turkish, Dutch, Polish, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, Swedish and Greek. The book is written in the language you choose rather than written in English and translated, so the idiom and the punctuation are native to it.
Quality & Content
One chapter of a novel or non-fiction book, three panels of a comic or picture book, five pages of a screenplay, or two panels of a roast. It is made the same way the finished book is, at the same standard, so it is a fair test rather than a teaser.
Good enough to self-publish, and much better when you feed it well. The single biggest lever is the detail you give it: a paragraph about who your protagonist is and what they want will outperform a one-line premise every time. Read the free sample before you spend anything, because that is exactly what the rest will read like.
Yes. Every book is written fresh from your inputs. Nothing is assembled from existing books or reused between customers. Your premise, your characters and your details are what make it yours.
That is the part we work hardest at. Each chapter is written with the whole book in view: what has already happened, where every character is and what they know at that point, and which threads are still open. A gun mentioned in chapter three is still in the drawer in chapter nineteen, and nobody changes eye colour on the way.
Regenerate it. Any illustration can be redone on its own, the cover can be replaced or swapped for one you upload, and the title can be changed at any point. Better still, fix it before it happens: you get the outline, the characters and the arcs to edit first, and nothing is written until you say go.
Rights & Publishing
Yes, 100%. Every commercial right is yours. Publish on Amazon, sell it from your own site, adapt it, or leave it in a drawer. No royalties, no revenue share, no attribution required.
Novels and non-fiction come as EPUB, PDF and TXT. Comics and picture books come as EPUB and PDF; the EPUB is fixed-layout, which is what Kindle wants for anything illustrated. Screenplays come as PDF and TXT, set in 12pt Courier to the standard the industry reads.
Yes, that is what the output is built around. The EPUB meets KDP’s requirements and the cover is generated at 1600x2560, the size KDP asks for, so both upload as they come. Screenplays are not a KDP product; that PDF is for readers, agents and competitions.
Every book comes with one, made to suit what is inside it, with your title and author name set on it at 1600x2560 for Amazon KDP. You can regenerate it, or upload your own if you already have artwork you would rather use.
Amazon KDP asks you to declare AI-generated content when you upload, and the declaration is between you and Amazon; it is not printed on your book or shown to readers. Other platforms differ, so check the guidelines wherever you are publishing. Disclosing does not stop you selling the book on KDP.
Pricing & Billing
Plans start at $36/month for 1,000 credits, about 5 books, refreshed every 30 days. Author is $59/month for 2,000 credits and Pro is $99/month for 3,500. Yearly billing saves 15%. Roast comics can also be bought on their own for $5.99. Every plan includes covers, downloads and full commercial rights.
No. Your credits refresh in full every 30 days, and anything you did not use in that period is not carried forward. The cycle starts the day you subscribe, so if you join on the 14th your credits reset on the 14th of each month.
Yes. The cover studio works on its own, for books written anywhere. Describe the book and you get a set of three finished covers to choose from. Your first one is free, one per email address. After that it is $6.99 for three covers, $9.99 for five or $17.99 for ten, and every subscription includes covers as well.
Any time, and you keep full access until the end of the period you have already paid for. Credits do not outlive the cycle they were issued in, so spend them before that date rather than saving them up.
If a generation fails outright, comes back substantially incomplete, or will not download, tell us within 7 days of the purchase and you get a full refund. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time, though part-months are not refunded. Read the free sample before you buy: it is there so nobody pays to find out whether they like it. Full terms are on the Refund Policy page.
