What source material should you give Scribora?

How to choose notes, transcripts, PDFs, links, and research that produce a stronger nonfiction ebook.

Use material with information density

The strongest inputs contain decisions, examples, explanations, data, first-hand observations, or a point of view. Ten pages of specific notes are usually more useful than fifty pages of generic background.

Scribora can organise messy source material; it cannot manufacture first-hand knowledge that was never present.

  • Good: interview transcripts, workshop notes, consulting frameworks, research summaries, saved articles with a clear purpose, recorded explanations, internal playbooks.
  • Weak: duplicated SEO articles, vague brainstorming, pages that repeat the same claims, or material unrelated to the promised book.

Mix source types

A single project can combine different kinds of material. For example, use a transcript for your voice, a PDF for evidence, and a set of links for current context.

When sources disagree, keep the disagreement visible instead of deleting one side. It gives the analysis stage something meaningful to resolve.

Ready to use the workflow?

Start with a real source set. Scribora is most useful when you already have material worth turning into a book.
