Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to what people ask most.

Getting started

  • How detailed should the brief be? Keep it short—audience, outcome, tone. Add must‑include facts later.
  • Genre vs. category—what’s the difference? Genre sets tone (for example, Cozy Fantasy). Category adds the lens (for example, Engineering Leadership).

Drafting

  • Why preview Chapter 1 first? It’s the fastest way to lock voice and pace.
  • When should I regenerate from edited? When your saved text is close and needs polish, not a rewrite.
  • Can I reference outside material? Yes—add links in context or use Creator Inputs and Story Paths.

Publishing

  • What cover size works? A 3:4 image (around 1200×1600) is a safe choice.
  • How do I share drafts without giving access? Download DOCX/PDF and send the files.

Billing

  • Why would options disappear? Admins can hide things that aren’t set up yet.
  • What are credits? Runs you can use by chapter or book. Whole‑book runs need enough credits.
