What happens next: The editor asks four questions — the book in a sentence, whose eyes, the first scene, two comparable novels — then writes Chapter One as a close, observed scene.
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.
