You have known what the book is about for two years.

The expertise is not the problem. You have taught it, been paid for it, and answered the same questions a hundred times. What stops you is the blank page, the chapter plan you keep rewriting, and the formatting nobody warned you about.

So the book stays a document of notes. Meanwhile the people who could have hired you read someone else's.

One sentence in. A finished book out.

Three steps, and you approve the shape before a single chapter is written.

  1. 1

    Describe it in a sentence

    Tell Draftly the kind of book, who it is for, and what you want it to do for you. That is the whole setup.

  2. 2

    Approve the outline

    You get a title and a chapter plan you can rewrite, reorder, add to or cut. Nothing is written until you are happy with it.

  3. 3

    Watch it write, then export

    Chapters arrive one at a time as typeset pages. Rewrite any of them, add a cover, and download PDF, EPUB and Word.

  1. You type this

    A practical guide to calmer mornings for parents who always feel rushed.

  2. Draftly hands back this

    Out the Door by Eight

    11 chapters · 4 resources · PDF, EPUB and Word

    Mornings do not go wrong at seven. They go wrong the night before, and this book shows busy parents exactly where to intervene so the day starts without anyone shouting.

    Not an outline. Every chapter below is written in full, and the resources at the back come finished too.

    1. Chapter 1Why mornings feel worse than they are
    2. Chapter 2Find the real source of the rush
    3. Chapter 3The night before does most of the work
    4. Chapter 4Make the first ten minutes easier
    5. Chapter 5Decide it once and never again
    6. Chapter 6Getting children moving without shouting
    7. Chapter 7Breakfast in four minutes flat
    8. Chapter 8Build a routine that survives bad days
    9. Chapter 9Share the load without keeping score
    10. Chapter 10When it falls apart, and it will
    11. Chapter 11Keep what works and remove the rest

    Included resources

    • The night-before checklist
    • A one-page morning plan to fill in
    • Who does what, by age
    • Twelve four-minute breakfasts

Commercial rights

You own it. All of it. Forever.

Every word, every chapter and every cover belongs to you the moment it exists. Draftly takes no cut, no licence and no credit on the page.

  • Sell it on Amazon KDP, Apple Books, Etsy, Gumroad or your own site
  • Charge what you like and keep every cent of it
  • Put your name on the cover, because it is your book
  • Give it away, hand it to clients, or build a paid course around it

No royalties. No permission. No asterisk.

AI writes the draft. You make it yours.

Chapters arrive one at a time and you take over wherever you want to. Nothing is locked, nothing is final, and nothing you have written yourself gets thrown away.

  • You approve the outline first

    Not a word is written until the chapter plan is one you would put your name to. Rename it, reorder it, add chapters or cut them.

  • Rewrite one chapter, not the book

    Ask for a change to chapter four and chapter four changes. Every other chapter stays exactly as you left it.

  • Your own edits are protected

    Text you have written yourself is never silently overwritten, and a request that fails cannot take finished work down with it.

Files built like books, not copied chat responses.

The same chapter structure flows into every format, with the details readers and publishing tools expect.

PDF
Title page, chapter breaks, page numbers and book typography.
EPUB 3
Working table of contents and embedded reading fonts.
DOCX
Real Word heading styles for continued editing.

The honest comparison

Yes, you could do this with ChatGPT.

And the writing would probably be fine. The writing was never the part that stops people. What stops them is everything that happens after the last chapter.

Here is how it actually goes. Chapter one arrives in the chat window and it is good. You paste it into a document. You go back for chapter two and the voice has drifted, so you paste the last chapter in again to remind it. By chapter six you are managing a document, a chat history, and a running list of things to fix later.

Then the book is written, and you find out the work has not started.

What you still need after the writing

  1. A typesetter to turn a wall of text into pages with chapter breaks, running heads and page numbers. Vellum, Atticus or InDesign, and an evening learning it.
  2. A cover. Canva and your own taste, or a designer who needs a brief, a week and a fee.
  3. An EPUB converter that produces a file Kindle will actually accept, with a table of contents that works.
  4. A Word file with real heading styles, because bolded paragraphs are not headings and your editor will tell you so.
  5. A way to keep all four in sync the moment you change one sentence, which you will, forty times.

Four tools, four learning curves, four places for the project to stall. Most books die somewhere in that stack. Not in the writing.

What Draftly does

All of it. In one place, from one sentence.

  • Structures the book before it writes a word
  • Writes chapter by chapter, holding the voice
  • Typesets it as you watch
  • Designs the cover
  • Exports PDF, EPUB 3 and DOCX from the same source
  • Rebuilds all three the second you change a line

Change chapter four at eleven at night and every file is correct again before you close the laptop.

Read the files before you trust the promise.

These are curated Draftly editorial samples, formatted by the same PDF exporter used for books in the app. They demonstrate typography and structure, not a live provider-generated book or customer result.

Clear answers before you put your name on it.

The questions people actually ask before they start, answered plainly. If yours is not here, the answer is probably that you stay in control of it.

How is this different from just using ChatGPT?

ChatGPT gives you text in a chat window. You still need a typesetter, a cover designer, an EPUB converter and a properly styled Word file, then a way to keep all of them in sync every time you edit a line. Draftly does the whole job and rebuilds every format from one source. See the full comparison.

Can I edit everything?

Yes. Titles, headings and chapter text remain editable, and each chapter can be regenerated independently.

Do I own what I create?

Yes. Your book is yours to publish and sell, subject to applicable law and provider terms.

What happens if generation fails?

Completed chapters remain saved, and failed provider requests do not consume credits.

How long does a book take?

The outline takes under a minute. A five-chapter book is usually finished inside an hour, including your edits.

Will it sound like me?

You choose the tone and punctuation style, then rewrite any chapter with your own instruction until it does.

Is there a subscription?

No. Unlock the current book for $19, or choose the optional $29 unlock with 150 non-expiring future credits.

How is my content processed?

Your book instructions are sent to the providers needed to generate text and cover artwork. Read the Privacy Notice for details.

Is the writing good enough to sell?

It is a draft you edit, not a finished manuscript. AI output can require fact checking and may not be unique.
