Create your first ebook with Scribora

A complete walkthrough from source material to outline, chapters, and a finished PDF or EPUB.

What Scribora expects

Scribora is source-first: you begin with material you already have, not an empty topic prompt. Notes, transcripts, links, PDFs, and audio give the system the substance it should organise and write from.

A project then moves through four visible phases: Gather, Analyze, Plan, and Write. Publishing tools become available once the book has enough generated content.

  • Gather: add the material the book should be grounded in.
  • Analyze: turn raw material into a structured knowledge base.
  • Plan: generate and edit the chapter outline.
  • Write: generate, review, and refine chapters before export.

The shortest path to a finished book

  1. 1

    Create a project

    Choose a project name, describe the topic, audience, and intended outcome.

  2. 2

    Add sources

    Paste notes, add URLs, or upload source files. More useful source material usually produces a more specific outline.

  3. 3

    Build the knowledge base

    Let Scribora analyse the collected material before asking it to plan the book.

  4. 4

    Generate the outline

    Review the chapter sequence before spending credits on full chapter generation.

  5. 5

    Write and review

    Generate chapters, edit them where needed, and use Pro refinement features when the project has Pro access.

  6. 6

    Export

    Download the finished manuscript as PDF or EPUB when the export status is ready.

Start free, then choose how to finish

The Free account is designed to let you build a real project and preview the workflow before paying. When you want to finish the book, you can either buy a project-scoped one-off book edition or use a recurring plan.

One-off book purchases do not change your account subscription. They unlock the selected project only.

Current prices and credit allowances are shown live on the pricing page and in the pricing guide; the docs do not duplicate those values.
