Read the transcript

This is Creator Studio. It's where your book gets written, one chapter at a time. Start a new book from your dashboard with New book. Write from scratch, import a Word or PDF file, or bring a finished file. Rose's book is already here, so we click Continue writing. On the left is your outline. It has three parts: front matter, body and back matter, and it scrolls to show the whole book. Click a chapter to jump straight to it. Each row shows that chapter's word count. Click into the text and keep writing. Everything saves as you type: watch the header switch from Saving to Saved. Select a word, then click Italic. Formatting is there when you need it. The toolbar also has text styles for headings, plus bullet lists, quotes, images, and notes for footnotes or endnotes. To add a chapter, click Add. The menu offers a new chapter, or a part to group chapters. Give it a working title, then click Save. You can change the title any time from the chapter's menu. It joins the end of your book, already open and ready for its first line. Each chapter has a menu. Edit renames it, and you can move it up or down. Set status marks it draft, revising or done. A finished chapter is saved as a milestone. The plus beside Front matter adds the pages that come before chapter one: a title page, copyright, a dedication, an epigraph and more. These pages are laid out for you. Type the words, and the print page beside them updates as you go. Your table of contents builds itself from your chapter titles. To see the book the way readers will, click Preview in the header. Pick a format: eBook, paperback, hardcover or PDF. For print, choose a book size, then click Open preview. Turn the pages. This is your own book, typeset, with the contents and chapter openings in place. Every version is kept. Open History, then All versions, to see each snapshot saved as you wrote. Open one to see exactly what changed in each chapter, then restore it as a new version if you need to. Next in the series: how to format your book. Click the video on screen to watch it.
