BookSmith uses advanced AI to generate your book step by step. You provide a topic and guidance, and the AI creates a detailed outline for your approval. Once approved, it writes each chapter sequentially, maintaining consistent voice, tone, and narrative flow throughout. You review and refine each chapter before the final book is assembled.

Every completed book includes: PDF optimized for eBook readers, a print-ready PDF formatted at 6x9 inches, DOCX (Microsoft Word with Georgia 12pt and table of contents) for further editing, and EPUB for wide distribution. Cover images come as high-resolution JPEG (1600x2560) and print-ready PDF with spine calculations for paperback and hardcover.

The AI generation itself takes 10-30 minutes depending on book length.

You control the pace since every step requires your approval.
