A house beside the sea, book cover
CHAPTER ONE

A place to begin.

The house stood at the end of a little lane, where the garden gave way to the sea.

Every morning, the light found its way through the kitchen window. And every morning, she thought: perhaps today.

A LETTER FROM OUR CMO
Felix, CMO of CreateBook

FROM THE DESK OF

FelixCMO, CreateBook

You’ve had it in you for years. Maybe it’s a manuscript in a drawer. Maybe it’s a life story your family keeps asking you to write down. Or maybe it’s something you know so well that people keep asking for your advice. You just haven’t turned it into a book yet.

And you’ve probably tried writing with AI. A few good paragraphs, another conversation, another document. Before long, you’re copying chapters between tabs, fixing the formatting, and trying to keep the whole thing together. You still need a cover. You still need a file you can hand to a reader.

Here’s what we built instead.

Think about what finishing a book really takes. You need a clear structure. Chapters that belong together. Time to edit. A cover you’re proud of. And a finished file someone can open and read. CreateBook brings those steps into one place, so you can spend more time on the story you want to tell.

Start with your idea or bring the notes you already have. We help shape the outline and write a first draft. You decide what stays, what changes, and what sounds like you. Then give it a cover, turn through the pages, and download your ebook. From that first sentence to something you can put in a reader’s hands.

Your idea deserves more than
another unfinished document.

“But I’m not a writer.”

You don’t need a perfect first draft to begin. Tell CreateBook what your book is about and who it’s for. React to what it writes: keep this, change that, make this sound more like me. Your judgment is what makes the book yours.

“I already have a draft.”

Bring it with you. Use your notes to guide the writing, work through edits, and choose the cover and files that fit your book. You’re still the author. CreateBook helps with the work around your words.

“Could someone pay for what I know?”

Think about the questions people already come to you with. Your recipes. The skill you teach. The lessons you wish someone had shared with you sooner. A helpful ebook puts those answers in one place, ready for someone to buy and use.

If you want to earn from your ebook, here’s where I’d start:

  1. Help one kind of reader solve one problem. “A week of affordable meals for busy parents” gives someone a clear reason to buy. Start with a question you can answer well, rather than trying to cover everything you know.
  2. Make the book worth coming back to. Add your own experience, clear steps, and useful checklists. Read the draft, check the facts, and try the advice yourself. Give your reader something they can put to work.
  3. Make it easy to understand and buy. Download your finished ebook and list it on a shop such as Gumroad or Payhip. Choose a price, explain who it’s for and what it helps them do, and let people look through a few pages before buying.
  4. Share something useful from the book. Teach one tip in a post, a short video, or your newsletter. Then share the link for readers who want the full guide. You can begin with the people who already ask for your help.
  5. Let your first readers help you improve it. Ask what helped and what was missing. Use their feedback to make the next version better, and keep sharing advice that brings the right people to your book.

You can sell the same ebook more than once, without printing or packing another copy. CreateBook helps you write, edit, design the cover, and prepare the files. You choose the price and find your readers. Sales take work, but your first goal can be simple: one useful book, and one person happy to pay for it.

Start with the idea you already have.

For $8, you can begin turning it into an outline and a first draft. See your words take shape before deciding how far you want to go. A longer book may need a larger plan, but you don’t have to figure out the whole journey tonight.

If CreateBook isn’t right for you, email us within seven days for a refund of your first membership payment. You keep your writing.

Whether you want to share a family story, teach what you know, or create your first ebook to sell, start with the idea you already have. You can decide what comes next when you see it on the page.

Your move.

P.S. The first page doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to exist.

A few questions before you start.

01

What do I get for $8 a month?

You get 40 credits each month to use for AI writing and covers. You can plan, write, edit, and download your book as a PDF, EPUB, or Word file. Writing and editing by hand do not use credits. You see the credit cost before starting AI work. A full book may need more than 40 credits.

02

Do I own what I create, and can I sell it?

Yes. You keep your work and can sell it on Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, Etsy, Gumroad, Payhip, Shopify, or your own site. You set the price and keep what the store pays you. Check each store’s rules, including any rules for AI-assisted books.

03

What can I realistically expect to earn?

It depends on your topic, price, and how you reach readers. Most first ebooks earn a little before they earn a lot. Books that solve one clear problem for one kind of reader, priced at $5–$20 and shared with an audience that already trusts you, tend to sell best. On your own store, one $9.99 sale a month covers your membership after fees. Sales are not guaranteed.

04

Who is CreateBook for?

Coaches, creators, freelancers, teachers, and anyone people come to for advice. If you keep answering the same questions, those answers can become a product you sell while you sleep.

05

Can CreateBook write a whole book?

Yes. Choose your idea, review the chapter plan, and start writing. CreateBook can write a first draft of each chapter. Read it, check the facts, and make changes before sharing or selling the book.

06

Can I use writing I already have?

Yes. Upload your notes as a TXT, Markdown, or Word file to guide the AI. You can also type or paste your own text into the chapter editor, then edit it there.

07

What should my first ebook be about?

Choose something you know or a story you want to tell. You could write a recipe book, a beginner guide, or a family story. For a guide, start with one question your readers need help with.

08

Do I need to check the AI’s writing?

Yes. AI can get facts wrong or repeat ideas. Read each chapter, check the facts, and add your own knowledge and experience. Make sure you are happy with the book before sharing or selling it.

09

How do I cancel or ask for a refund?

Open Account to cancel your membership. You can still read, edit, and download your saved books after cancelling. For a refund of your first membership payment, email hello@createbook.io within 7 days of that payment.
