Booksmaker.ai Complete Guide – How to Write Books with AI

Booksmaker.ai is an AI-assisted writing platform that guides you from idea to finished book.

Dashboard & Library

After logging in, you land on the "Your Books" dashboard. Here you'll find:

• A list of your books, each showing: Title, Target audience (e.g., Preschool, Adult), Genre(s) (e.g., Adventure, Comedy, Biography), Page count, Creation date
• The "Add New Book" button to start a new project
• Your available credit displayed at the top right
• The user menu (avatar icon) for settings and billing

Creating a New Book

Click "Add New Book" to open the creation form.

Enter the book title, define the audience, choose one or more genres, language, and number of pages.

Model Selection

You can choose the generation quality both during book creation and from your default settings. The quality level affects cost and the refinement of the output:

• Basic: standard quality, lower cost — ideal for drafts and first versions
• Medium: intermediate quality — good balance of cost and quality
• High: premium quality — for polished results ready to publish

Click "Create Book" to start. The AI will prepare your book's basic structure.

Editor Overview

The editor consists of three main areas:

• Left: your book with full outline, chapter outline, and chapter content
• Center: the book content
• Right: AI assistant

Creating the Outline

Start by creating the outline or generating proposals through the AI assistant.

On the left, your book's hierarchy is created: outline and content.

Click on the book title to edit the full outline, plot, characters, settings. Click on a paragraph and select "Send selection to chat" to ask the assistant for modifications.

AI Chat & Editing

The AI Chat section lets you interact with the writing assistant. The menu has different options depending on whether you're in the outline or in a chapter.

AI Cover Generation

You can generate a professional book cover with AI. The "Generate Cover" button creates a cover based on:

• Your book's title and subtitle
• Literary genre and target audience
• Your chosen visual style (e.g., minimalist, illustrated, photographic)

Exporting

You can export your book in DOCX, PDF, EPUB, send it to your Kindle, or export the KDP package ready for Amazon publishing.

AI Character Generation

You can generate character appearances with AI to keep them consistent across all chapters, ideal for illustrated books or comics.
