Understanding the Library

My Library is where everything you've made lives: finished books, unfinished drafts, covers, Amazon listings and standalone chapters. Nothing needs to be saved manually — work is written to your library as you go.

The header counts what you have: N books · N listings · N covers · N saved chapters. Two buttons sit next to it — New Book and New Listing.

Books

Each finished book is a card showing its cover, title, author, word count, chapter count and creation date. Two controls:

Preview opens the book — read it, edit chapters, reorder, regenerate, export.

Download opens a menu:

• PDF — formatted interior, ready to read or upload.
• Markdown — plain text with chapter headings, for editing elsewhere.
• EPUB — eReader / Kindle format.
• eBook ZIP — bundle of the eBook files, ready to upload.
• Paperback ZIP — print interior plus the wrap cover, or Add Paperback if you haven't made one.
• Cover Image — the cover as it appears in the app.
• Cover JPG (KDP) and Cover TIFF (KDP) — print-resolution cover files for KDP.

Some export formats cost credits the first time (EPUB, the print-resolution cover files); after that, re-downloading the same book's file is free. See What each action costs.

If a book has no cover yet, the menu offers Add Cover instead of the cover options, which takes you to the Cover Creator for that book.

Drafts

A book you started but didn't finish shows as a draft card with its progress — how many of the planned chapters are written.

Press Continue and generation resumes at the first chapter that hasn't been written yet. Chapters you already paid for are not regenerated, so resuming a draft costs only what's left.

Drafts are why closing the tab mid-generation is safe.

Translated editions

If you translate a book, the translation appears under the original with a language badge, rather than as a separate top-level book. The language filter narrows the grid to one language.

Finding things

Above the book grid:

• Search by title.
• Genre filter.
• Language filter.
• Clear filters when a filter is hiding something you're looking for.

Filters affect the book grid only — the saved covers, listings and chapters sections below always show everything.

The other sections

Below your books:

• Saved Covers — covers made in the Cover Creator, including ones not attached to a book. Each can be downloaded or deleted.
• Saved Listings — Amazon listings from the Listing Creator: view, edit or delete each one.
• Saved Chapters — standalone chapters from the Chapter Writer, with the same view / edit / delete controls.

Deleting

The bin icon on any card deletes that item after a confirmation. Deleting a book removes its chapters and cover with it and cannot be undone — download anything you want to keep first.

A draft cannot be deleted while its chapters are still generating. Cancel the run first, then delete.

Locked and paused books

Locked books have a lock overlay and can't be read or exported. This happens when your subscription has ended — the books are still yours and nothing is deleted; reactivating restores access to all of them. You can still download a watermarked PDF of a locked book from its preview.

If every book you have is locked, the whole library shows a single Reactivate prompt instead of the grid.

Paused subscriptions keep your books visible but disable exports — you'll see Resume to export next to the download button. Resuming your subscription re-enables them immediately.

Empty library

A brand new account shows three starting points instead of a grid: write a fiction book, write a non-fiction book, or write a single chapter. Anything you generate lands here automatically.
