Choose the main work: explain a method, guide an exercise, tell a visual story, develop fiction, shape memories or prepare a focused lead magnet. These workflows can overlap; a workbook can also be a lead magnet.
Open a workflow for a completed example, the material to prepare and the review decisions specific to that kind of book.
Turn expertise and evidence into an argument that moves a reader from understanding to a practical decision.
Open the dedicated workflow →Guide the reader's workDesign a sequence of exercises that produces decisions, practice attempts, and observable reader progress.
Open the dedicated workflow →Tell a visual storyBuild a short scene-led story where page rhythm, age fit, recurring characters, and illustration decisions work together.
Open the dedicated workflow →Build character pressureDevelop a narrative through character wants, costly choices, scene consequences, world rules, and continuity review.
Open the dedicated workflow →Shape memory and meaningOrganize supplied memories, documents, and scenes around one reflective question while keeping uncertainty and privacy visible.
Open the dedicated workflow →Solve one urgent problemCreate a concise guide that delivers a small complete result and leads naturally to one relevant next step.
Open the dedicated workflow →| Workflow | Bring this material | What the guide demonstrates |
|---|---|---|
| Nonfiction | Your method, source notes and a real or explicitly hypothetical case. | A completed service-delivery audit, its counterexample and the reader exercise. |
| Workbook | A task readers should complete and the inputs they need. | Connected answer fields, a useful incomplete answer and fixes prompted by pilot mistakes. |
| Storybook | A character, visible action and consistent visual details. | A moth-and-lantern spread with text, image direction and a page-turn question. |
| Fiction | A premise, character want and rules the story must keep. | An archive scene driven by a consequential choice, plus a knowledge ledger. |
| Memoir | Memories, documents and a question connecting the scenes. | A source ledger that separates a ticket, a photograph and conflicting recollections. |
| Lead magnet | A narrow audience task and an actual next-step offer. | A copyable podcast guest brief, its delivery path and honest measurement. |
Workbook describes how the reader uses the content; lead magnet describes its role in attracting a relevant audience. If the asset is mainly a completed guest brief or exercise, use the workbook structure and the lead-magnet delivery guidance. You do not need two versions of the same prose.
A personal story can introduce a nonfiction method, but that does not make the whole book a memoir. Choose nonfiction when the book teaches the reader a method or argument. Choose memoir when the selected experiences and the narrator's changing understanding are the main reading experience.
Both can tell an invented story. Use the storybook workflow when scene illustrations and read-aloud text must be planned together. Use the fiction workflow when prose scenes, viewpoint and a longer chain of consequences carry the book.
If all the reader needs is a one-page checklist or a reusable message, publish that artifact. A longer ebook earns its length when the explanation and examples help readers use the artifact correctly.
Use the workspace to import source material, shape the outline, generate and edit chapters, manage research and visuals, and create the file needed for the next publishing step.
Open a book projectVerify claims, citations, names, dates, quantities, quotations, and consequential advice independently.
The app creates front cover artwork and interior images, shows chapter images in preview, and includes them in book exports. You still clear rights, check placement, and add suitable captions and text alternatives.

The KDP preparation ZIP is a download. Retailer accounts, uploads, approval, delivery, analytics, and platform-specific validation remain outside the service.
