Edit any word in place. What you see is what your readers get.
The proof arrived on a Tuesday, wrapped in brown paper that had travelled badly. She cut the string and let the pages fall open at the middle, the way you do with a book you already half know.
Every line she had written twice, and a few she had written eleven times, sat there set in type — no longer hers to fuss over, and better for it.
The proof arrived on a Tuesday, wrapped in brown paper that had travelled badly. She cut the string and let the pages fall open at the middle, the way you do with a book you already half know.
Every line she had written twice, and a few she had written eleven times, sat there set in type — no longer hers to fuss over, and better for it.
She read it through once without a pencil, which was the only rule she had ever kept, and then she read it again with one.
The margins filled. By the last chapter the pencil had stopped arguing and started agreeing, which is how you know a book is finished.
We read your book and recommend how to set it. Every choice below is yours to change.
Chosen from your manuscript's own shape — its length, its chapter rhythm, whether it carries figures, tables or footnotes.
Or start from a different house style:
Describe the book and we design it, or build every element yourself. Both at the exact size your printer needs.
A few lines is enough. We design the front, the spine and the back at your exact trim, then you can open it in Advanced and move anything.
The full print wrap — back, spine and front, with the spine width derived from your real page count.
The front on its own, exported 3000px tall in RGB — the size every shop asks for.
Everything your book produces, ready to download.
A clean, reflowable ebook of the chosen version.
A print-ready interior, set to the layout you approved on the Typeset tab.
The front on its own, and the full wrap with the spine sized to your page count.
Typeset share cards of your best lines — in your book’s own look, sized for X and Instagram.
Its own page on the internet. Pick how it reads — every layout is the same book.
Every reader can still change all three for themselves.
One price, and you decide how much of the book anyone can read for nothing.
What a reader pays for the ebook and the online book. Zero means free.
bookmatic sells the edition and pays you a royalty on every settled sale.
A locked chapter is never sent to the reader's browser — not hidden with CSS, not there at all.
Ticked chapters need a purchase to open.
And what they can take away with them:
Sell the ebook itself. The file is assembled on demand behind a capped download link, so there is nothing sitting on a server to leak.
Sell chapters individually — serials, workbooks, and anything a reader wants a piece of.
Coming next:
Your finished book becomes a structured course — modules, objectives and knowledge checks drawn from your own chapters. You edit every word of it here, publish it beside the book, and charge for it.
What each edition has earned, and what is ready to be paid out to you.
Telling people about your book: a picture of your best line, the lines worth picturing, posts to share, and the words for the back cover.
Pick any sentence and it becomes a picture you can post, set in your book’s own type and colours.
bookmatic reads the book and suggests the lines worth sharing — every one checked verbatim against your manuscript.
Short posts ready to paste anywhere, written from the book itself.
The words for the back of the printed book.
Every feature has its own how-to, and its own walk-through, inside the app.
What it does, when to use it, and what it costs — written from the same registry that decides what your plan can open.
The same spotlight tour you are in now, one feature at a time.
That is the workspace. Now read a book that came out of it, or see what it costs.
