How do I start writing a new book on PubliWrite?

You can start a new book directly inside PubliWrite using the built-in editor.

This option is best if you want to write your manuscript from the beginning on PubliWrite and use the platform’s writing, editing, formatting, collaboration, and version history tools as you work.

If you already have a finished manuscript in PDF or EPUB format, you can use the import option instead.

How to start a new book

To start writing a new book:

1. Log in to your PubliWrite account.
2. Go to your Writing Dashboard.
3. Click New book.
4. Select I’ll write something new.
5. Add your book title.
6. Select your book genre.
7. Click Create.

After creating the book, you will be taken to the editor, where you can start writing and organizing your manuscript.

What can I do after creating the book?

Once your book is created, you can use the editor to:

• Write and edit your manuscript
• Add and organize chapters
• Format your text
• Use comments and version history
• Invite collaborators
• Use PubliAgent writing tools, where available
• Preview your manuscript before publishing

Important note

Starting a new book is different from importing a manuscript.

If you choose I’ll write something new, you can write and edit your manuscript inside PubliWrite.

If you choose I already have a manuscript, you can upload a completed manuscript file as part of the publishing process.
