What You Can Export

• Manuscript — Word (DOCX), reading PDF, EPUB, press-ready Print Edition PDF, Markdown, RTF, ODT, LaTeX, or plain text
• Story World dossiers — Characters, Locations, Factions, and Items as Word, PDF, or Excel (Excel spreads across neat sheets for members, relations, and arcs)
• Glossary — your story-world names as Word, PDF, or Excel
• Museiki — your encyclopedia articles as Word or PDF, laid out exactly as the pages read, images and all
• AI reports — your Chapter Analysis, Chapter Pulse, and Manuscript Lens readings as designed Word or PDF documents
• Storyboard — the selected book’s Scene Designer frames, captions, loose craft cards, and fallback art as Word or PDF, in manuscript order
• Outliner — chapters, scenes, intentions, progress, craft fields, live cross-tool links, arc beats, research, and scene cards as Word, OPML, CSV, TSV, or Excel
• A live preview — light or dark — built from the same export data and layout rules as the finished file

Your First Print Export

Choose your manuscript, select PDF, then choose the Print edition preset. Open Page to set the book size and margins. Review the pages and the print checks before exporting. For an editable submission, choose Word and a submission preset; for an ebook that adapts to the reader's screen, choose EPUB.

The Format chooser also has an expandable artwork guide. Start with a preset and open the individual drawers when you want finer control. Word processors can paginate editable files differently; PDF keeps the page layout fixed. Markdown, LaTeX and plain text show the generated source directly. RTF and ODT show a continuous preview read from the generated document, including its text, basic formatting and embedded images. Your word processor resolves page breaks, drop caps and contents page numbers when it opens the file.

Words Changed On The Way Out

A name you never settled. A placeholder you left in chapter three. A working title the agent should not see. Open Contents and add a replacement: what the draft says on the left, what the file should say on the right. Your draft is not touched — only the file being made, and the pages show you the result before you export it.

Beside each one sits a row of live values — the book's title, the author's name, the word count (exact, or rounded the way a submission is), the number of chapters, today's date, this year. Click one and it goes into your sentence, so a copyright page can read “First published in” and the year without you editing it every January. There is nothing to memorise: you pick them from the list.

Getting It Right

• Front and back matter checklists, chapter selection, fonts, and page layout for the manuscript
• Prologue, Epilogue and other fixed-name sections keep their proper names in previews, exported headings and contents, in the manuscript’s language. Chapter, part and appendix titles stay editable; dedication and epigraph pages remain heading-free
• Each kind of section can start its own page or run straight on — a prologue, an epilogue, an interlude — and each one begins the way your chapters do until you say otherwise
• LaTeX comes out as a book, not as a document: front matter, body, and back matter are already divided, unnumbered sections take their proper form and still appear in the contents, and every character LaTeX would read as a command is escaped for you
• A half title and a contents page when you want them — both are optional, and both change the page count, so the preview shows you what they cost
• Revision comparison never becomes export styling; legacy colour marks are removed cleanly, and unresolved legacy candidates are only omitted when you explicitly choose that option
• EPUB details when you want them — title, author, language, publisher, rights, and a validated ISBN
• The ebook can carry your book’s own type, and can be told where to fall open the first time it is read
• Print page numbers can travel into the ebook, so a reader can jump to a page someone quoted from the paperback
• An accessibility declaration you choose the wording of — say nothing, claim the standard, or mark the book exempt — with the name of whoever stands behind it
• EPUBCheck runs the official validator with a runtime built for Windows, macOS, or Linux; custom CSS imports and unpackaged files are removed so the book stays self-contained
• Print Edition validates trim geometry, margins, gutter, type size, leading, and font embedding before export; headings wrap, long tokens stay inside the measure, and the preview pauses rather than guessing when a system font cannot be verified
• The inside margin can widen on its own as the book thickens, because a thicker spine swallows more of the inside edge
• Bleed and crop marks for a printer, and a PDF/X-1a file when one is asked for
• The finished PDF carries bookmarks for every chapter, its own title and author, and a language — so it opens with a contents panel and reads correctly aloud
• Ligatures, hyphenation with a limit on how many lines may end in one, widow and orphan control, and punctuation that can hang into the margin
• CSV and TSV neutralise spreadsheet formulas while preserving the visible cell text
• A gentle pre-flight that points out anything worth fixing before you send a manuscript out
• Per-report choices too — pick which chapters to include, which pulse lines to draw, and whether the Lens lists its echoes
