Add a chapter you wrote somewhere else

Bring a chapter you've already written into your book, with your words kept exactly as they are.

1. 1

   Open your book's Timeline and scroll to the end of the chapter list. Click Add chapters you wrote elsewhere.

2. 2

   Paste the chapter into the box, or click Choose a file for a .txt or .md file. Add a Chapter title if you like.

   

3. 3

   Choose how much is worked out from it. Import as-is (free) keeps your words and nothing else, so the AI tools can't work on that chapter later. Leave it off and the chapter's beats are worked out for you; the cost is shown before you add. Also work out characters and subtext adds the chapter to your cast's bibles too.

4. 4

   Click Add chapter. It becomes the book's next chapter, and your words are kept exactly as written.

5. 5

   To make it a prologue, change the chapter's kind from Chapter to Prologue on its card.

6. 6

   Several chapters, a whole manuscript, or a .docx or .epub file? Click Use the import wizard instead, choose Add to a book I already have and upload the file. The wizard lets you mark each part as a chapter, prologue or epilogue, and new chapters arrive unpublished.
