Made for the way you work
Move the draft forward. Keep your point of view.
A promising premise can sit in a notebook for months. draftmybook gives you an outline and opening chapter to react to, so you can test the direction before committing to a full manuscript. Use the draft as material to develop, not a reason to skip revision.
Write useful nonfiction
Build a book around a subject you understand. Bring specific lessons, examples and reader questions, then check the facts and add your own experience.
Prepare another title to sell
Create more books for different reader interests. Each project gets its own outline and cover choices; you control revision, release timing and promotion.
Start with a specific reader
A better brief makes a better starting point.
Tell draftmybook who the book is for, what it should cover and what you want to leave out. Here is a brief you could adapt.
A court interpreter realizes a witness is describing a crime that has not happened yet. Write a grounded mystery with an unreliable ally, escalating consequences and a resolution rooted in an early clue. Keep the protagonist resourceful rather than invincible.
From idea to editable files
You bring the direction. We help with the draft.
Set your story direction
Choose a book format and describe the reader, genre, protagonist and central conflict. Add boundaries for tone and content.
Review the outline and opening
Adjust the plan before generation. Use your free chapter sample to assess pacing, voice and whether the story holds your interest.
Complete, revise and prepare to publish
Choose a plan or one-time purchase, finish the draft and select a cover. Download the files, edit the manuscript and prepare your marketplace listing.
Check continuity, dialogue, originality and factual details before release. Ebooks and printed books have different file requirements. A front-cover image is not a paperback wrap with a spine and back cover.

Questions from authors
Can I try the writing before buying a book?
Yes. A new account includes one free sample. For text books, that is the first chapter, not a complete free manuscript. No payment card is needed for the sample.
Can I sell a book made with draftmybook?
You may edit and sell your output under our terms, and draftmybook takes no royalties. You are responsible for reviewing the content, checking rights and meeting your chosen marketplace requirements.
Do I have to subscribe?
No. Subscriptions provide credits for regular creation, while a one-time purchase completes one written book. Both options are shown before payment.
Can I publish directly to Amazon KDP?
draftmybook does not publish for you. Download your text book as EPUB, PDF or TXT, review it and submit suitable files yourself. Check KDP formatting and AI-content disclosure requirements when you publish; acceptance is not guaranteed.
