Collaboration, export and projects

Work on a book together and pass it on: shares, co-authors, editing, beta readers, export to different formats, backup and import.

  • Shares and beta readers

    With shares, you give guests, such as beta readers, a limited part of your story to read.

  • Managing co-authors

    Co-authors write along with you: you invite them, set the book scope and can revoke access.

  • Editing and change suggestions

    The Editorial/publisher level allows change suggestions and export, but no writing of its own in the text.

  • Exporting a manuscript

    You export a book in several formats in one go and check it first with the pre-flight check.

  • Beta reader ratings

    Authors rate beta readers with fixed attributes that are exclusively positive.

  • Central trash

    The central trash collects the deleted entries of a project and keeps them available for restoring for 30 days.

  • Contribution record and contributors

    The contribution record is your personal summary, and the contributors list shows everyone who took part in the book.

  • Export and import (overview)

    The “Export & Import” hub leads to all file-related tools with eight tiles.

  • Export history

    The export history shows who exported what and when, and offers finished files for download.

  • Export studio

    In the Export Studio, you decide what the title page, dedication and imprint of your exports contain.

  • Exporting the story bible

    The story bible is a reference document as a PDF, built from the modules of your project.

  • Feedback exchange

    The exchange is a bulletin board where authors offer beta feedback for their genre.

  • First-page blind tasting

    In blind tasting you submit the opening of a chapter anonymously, and others vote without seeing a name.

  • Guest view

    Guests read shared content in a reduced view and comment depending on their access level.

  • Importing a manuscript

    The manuscript import splits a file into chapters and scenes and shows them as a preview before you apply them.

  • JSON backup and import

    The JSON backup saves your project in one file, and the import restores it with a preview.

  • Project overview and areas

    The project overview shows your books and leads to all of the project’s tools in five area groups.

  • Royalty split

    The royalty split suggests a share for each contributor, calculated from the word contributions to the book.
