Book Settings

Steps

Click the pencil icon next to your book title at the top of the editor. The Edit Book Details dialog opens with three fields: Title, Subtitle, and Author. Update any of them, then click Save. The Cover Designer Text tab is the same set of fields plus typography styling if you want finer control over how they appear on the cover.

Where your changes appear

Title, subtitle, and author changes flow through every surface automatically:

• Your book cover
• The My Books dashboard card
• Every export (PDF, EPUB, DOCX)
• The Showcase listing if the book is published

Author name (per book)

Each book stores its own author name, so you can use a pen name on one book and your real name on another. To edit it, click the pencil icon next to your book title at the top of the editor. The dialog lets you change both the title and the author name. Your choice flows through to the cover and every export.

You can also edit the author name inside the Cover Designer if you are already there fine-tuning the cover layout.

Author bio (one global field)

Your bio is a single field on your account, shared across every book. It represents you the author, not a specific book, so editing it in any one place updates it everywhere. You can edit it from any of these surfaces:

• Profile page (avatar top right, then Profile)
• Showcase author profile card (Showcase tab, then edit your profile)
• Export dialog: "About the Author" accordion (paid plans only)
• Publish dialog when publishing a book to Showcase

What changes when you update your bio

Updating the bio anywhere updates it everywhere. Specifically:

• Future exports will include the new bio on the About the Author page (paid plans)
• Already-published books on /books sync to the new bio automatically
• Your Profile page and Showcase author card reflect the new bio
• The Export dialog pre-fills with the new bio for your next export

Steps

Click the Aa Text button in the left sidebar. At the bottom of the popover that opens, you will see a Font family dropdown. Highlight the text you want to restyle first, or press Cmd+A to select the whole chapter, then pick a font from the dropdown.

Changes apply to your current selection or the text you type next. To use the same font across every chapter, open each chapter, select all, and repeat. Your font choice carries through to the editor preview and every export.

Available fonts

The dropdown offers a mix of serif, sans-serif, display, and monospace options:

• Serif: Georgia, Times New Roman, Garamond, Palatino, Baskerville, Merriweather, Lora, Playfair Display
• Sans-serif: Roboto (default), Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Trebuchet MS, Montserrat, Poppins, Mulish, Quicksand
• Monospace: Courier New, Monaco

Steps

Open any chapter in the editor and use the typography controls in the sidebar. Five body font sizes are available: 14, 16, 18, 20, and 24px. The default is 16px which reads comfortably across most genres.

Larger sizes mean more total pages. 24px is unusually large for body text, best reserved for large-print editions or kids titles. 14px is tight, useful when you want a slimmer book. Pick the size that matches your audience and intended page count.

Steps

Inside the editor, click the Theme button in the left toolbar (the paintbrush icon). A popover opens with a grid of palette presets. Click any preset to apply it instantly, or click Randomize to try a fresh combination. For full control, click Custom to set your own primary, secondary, and accent colours via hex code. Your palette flows through the cover design and every exported document.
