Make a non-fiction book in LitPal

Make a non-fiction how-to book in LitPal: describe the book and its reader, add a key point to the outline before anything is written, read the chapters and fix a wrong tip yourself, format it for a 6 × 9 paperback and export the PDF.

Lesson 8 of 10 · 1:45

LitPal writes the outline first, so you can shape the book before a chapter exists. The lesson adds a key point, reads what the AI wrote, fixes a common gardening myth and formats the book for print.

Step by step

  1. Set it up

    Go to Non-Fiction and click Create New Book. Pick a template, add a title and describe what the book covers. Choose the style, the audience, the chapter length and the number of chapters, then click Generate Book.

  2. Outline, then the book

    LitPal writes the outline first. Add or change key points, then click Confirm and Generate Book. It writes the book chapter by chapter; the one in this lesson took about a minute, sped up in the video.

  3. Read it, and fix it

    AI wrote the book, so read it. In the lesson, a tip says to put gravel in the bottom of a pot, which is a common myth. Select the line, type a better tip, and it saves automatically.

  4. Format for print

    Click Format, pick a theme and keep the 6 × 9 page size. Type the author name; the title page and copyright page are already on.

  5. Export and open the file

    Click Export PDF. The file has the title page and the fixed tip in chapter one.
