Frequently Asked Questions

What does guided book creation do?

It guides you from existing material through direction and outline to full manuscript and an editable book draft.

Why is this area sometimes called Story Editor?

Story Editor is the internal and partly visible name for the guided book process. It refers to the path from material and direction to outline, manuscript and book draft.

Which content can I use?

You can use documents, PDFs, Word files, presentations, notes, audio, video, transcripts and relevant links, provided you have the right to use them.

What is the difference between core and supplementary material?

Core material carries topic, attitude and argumentation. Supplementary material provides context, examples, data or background, but should not determine the basic direction.

What is a book draft?

The book draft is the editable version of your book in design. It brings together text, cover, images, biography, description, category and imprint.

What can I edit in design?

You can edit cover, vignette, background, chapter images or quotes, author biography, book description, category, hashtags and imprint.

Can I use my own images?

Yes. You can use your own images if they are technically suitable and you have the rights. Alternatively, you can use images from the story.one image database.

Why do I need to check the print preview?

The print preview is the binding preview for the later book. Review it carefully before ordering or publishing.

Why is chapter length fixed?

The story.one format consists of short chapters with three text pages. This keeps the book clear, readable and reliably designed.
