You might have some questions.
We are happy to help!
How fast can I get a print-ready book with the Story Editor?
- First book proposal: ~20 minutes; with “Deep Research” ~60 minutes
- All book texts: up to 60 minutes for usually 17 chapters (depends on content amount/depth)
With final checks and layout, you can be print-ready the same day.
Can I make a book from a podcast—what’s the best way?
Yes. Upload your audio file or YouTube link—the editor transcribes, extracts key points, and builds chapters.
Recommendations:
- Provide ~60 minutes of audio for enough substance; bundle shorter episodes
- Set focus & audience in the briefing; enable enrichment/deep research if needed
- Optionally upload notes to fine-tune examples and data
Can I make a book from a manuscript?
Yes. Upload the manuscript; for very long files, prioritize relevant passages (upload limits apply).
If you want your own style reflected, add a style sample (20–40k characters).
How is story.one different from traditional publishers or self-publishing platforms?
- Speed: With the Story Editor, your book can be print-ready the same day.
- Simplicity: No long editorial or publisher processes—you start right away.
- End-to-end: From upload to book proposal, book texts, cover, printing, and distribution—all on one platform.
- Human-centric: We’re not an “AI book factory,” but a place where people publish with AI support.
- Transparency & fairness: You keep full rights, pricing is clear, no hidden contracts.
