Structure

Three shapes that work

Self-help

Open with why the usual advice fails. Give the reader one simple model to hold in their head. Then one chapter per practice: the idea, the evidence, the common ways it goes wrong, and something to try this week.

Business

Start with the cost of the problem in money and time. Lay out your framework as numbered steps. Give each step a chapter with a case, a template and a checklist. Close with what to do on Monday.

Educational

Order the chapters from what the reader already knows to what they don't. Each chapter: a plain explanation, a worked example, a short self-test. Put a glossary at the back.

Say which shape you want in your brief, and the chapter plan will follow it.

Playbook

A short book as a lead magnet

A focused short book (5 chapters, about 13,000 words) is a generous thing to give away in exchange for an email address.

  1. Pick one problem your ideal client has before they hire you. Not your whole method; the first step of it.
  2. Write the brief in your client's words: their situation, what they've tried, what they want.
  3. Add your proof: a story from your own work in at least every other chapter. The draft can't invent those, and shouldn't.
  4. End with a next step, the one thing you'd like a reader to do, and a way to reach you.
  5. Export the PDF and send it out from your email tool when people sign up.

Accuracy

Check every fact before it carries your name

AI writing is fluent and sometimes wrong. A statistic can be out of date, a study can be misremembered, and a quote can be made up. In a book that sells your expertise, one bad fact undoes a lot of good chapters.

  • Give it your sources. When you plan in the app you can add notes, documents and web links as research material, and the draft leans on them.
  • Verify what remains. Every number, date, name and quotation. Our Search & Cite tool checks a claim against published sources and drafts the citation.
  • Cut what you can't stand behind. If you couldn't defend it to a client, it shouldn't be in the book.

From expertise to finished draft

  1. Describe the reader

    Who they are, their problem, and the change your book promises.

  2. Shape the chapters

    Approve a plan that walks the reader from problem to result.

  3. Draft it

    PromptBook writes each chapter, using any notes or links you add.

  4. Check and finish

    Verify every claim, add your stories, export the PDF or ebook.

Questions

Can it use my own notes and documents?

Yes. When you plan the book in the app you can add your notes, upload documents or paste web links as research material, and PromptBook draws on them while it writes.

Will it add citations?

It can mention sources you gave it, but it does not verify references. Check every claim, figure and quotation before you publish, and add the citations yourself.

Can I sell the book or give it away?

Yes. Under our terms the content is yours. If you sell it on Amazon KDP, declare that it contains AI-generated text.

How long will it be?

Short is 5 chapters (about 13,000 words) and takes roughly 30–60 minutes to write; medium is 10 chapters (about 27,000 words) and takes about 1–1½ hours.

Is it free?

The chapter plan on this page is free and needs no account. Free accounts can start 1 new book a month and keep 1 saved book, with EPUB, PDF and Word export. Basic ($9.99/month) allows 5 new books a month and Pro ($29.99/month) allows 10 new books. Deleting a book does not give the month's allowance back.
