Writing a full-length book is a massive undertaking. From structuring the chapters to writing thousand-word paragraphs and formatting the layout, self-publishing has a high barrier to entry.
With AI e-book writers, you can outline books, draft cohesive chapter prose, and typeset professional publications automatically.
This guide walks through how to write a book with AI, covering outline generation, typesetting, and rendering print-ready PDFs.
Step 1 — Create the book outline
Start by providing the AI with a book topic and setting a chapter count. The AI will structure a cohesive table of contents, outlining the key themes and narrative hooks for each chapter.
Step 2 — Draft the chapter prose
To ensure depth, write chapter-by-chapter rather than generating the whole book at once. This avoids thin content and allows you to target custom word counts (e.g. 1,000 to 2,000 words per chapter).
Step 3 — Typeset & add illustrations
Pick a styling palette (Classic Ink, Forest, Burgundy, or Navy) and select illustrations. Spread visual projects to set covers and chapter plates. Then, compile the manuscript into a professionally formatted PDF featuring drop caps and running headers.
AI book writing platforms compared
Writing a book is a layered creative process. Here is how dedicated tools stand up:
- Sudowrite: The absolute gold standard for creative novel writing. Excellent character bible and prose expansion. However, it does not typeset the book or generate print-ready illustrated PDFs.
- Squibler: Good for screenplays and organizing chapters into folders, but lacks integrated cover graphics or typesetting themes.
- NolanAI: Designed exclusively for movie screenplays and script layouts, making it unsuitable for standard novels or educational e-books.
- GravityWrite: Good for generating short marketing copies and ebooks, but does not provide complete layout and typesetting capabilities.
