What happens next: The editor asks five quick questions — genre and mood, whose story, where it opens, point of view, two comparable novels — then writes Chapter One as a real scene and composes it.
The design travels; the words are yours. Bindery's editor interviews you and writes your book with you, in this design — the typography, margins and chapter openers are set before your first word. Free to start, no account needed.
