AI Book Writer: Outline and Draft a Nonfiction Book

AI Ghostwriter's book writer turns what you know into a nonfiction book in two steps: first an outline with five title ideas and a 5-25 chapter table of contents, then one chapter at a time. Each chapter is planned as 4-7 subheadings and written subheading by subheading, at about 1,500, 3,000 or 5,000 words, with placeholders where your own cases and sources belong.

Questions

How do I write a book with AI?

Start with the outline: give the topic and the reader, and you get title ideas, the book's promise and a table of contents with a summary of each chapter. Then write the chapters one by one, pasting the outline each time, and add your own stories as you go.

How many words is a book chapter?

Here you pick about 1,500, 3,000 or 5,000 words. Each chapter is first split into 4-7 subheadings, and each subheading is written in turn.

How do I keep the chapters consistent?

Paste the book's outline into the chapter's Book outline field under More details. The chapter is then written to fit the overall plan and avoids repeating other chapters.

Does it make up examples or research?

It's told not to invent cases, people, statistics or studies; where one is needed, it leaves an [example case] or [source] placeholder. Those are the spots for your own stories and checked sources.

Can I use it to write a novel?

This format is for nonfiction. For short stories, single scenes or continuing your own manuscript, use the Fiction format.

Will the chapters sound like me?

Pick one of your voices and the chapters follow your tone and sentence style; they also get a Light red pen pass by default. Edit each chapter before it goes into the book.
