Managing Your Books: Create, Import & Export

Everything outside the editor itself — starting a new book, bringing in an existing manuscript, downloading your exports, and keeping your book list tidy.

Your dashboard is the home base for every book on your account — start a new one, pick up where you left off, or manage exports without opening the editor at all.

Starting a new book

Give it a working title and you're straight into the editor with a blank manuscript, ready to write or generate an outline with AI Assist.

Importing an existing manuscript

Already have a draft? Upload it as DOCX, EPUB, PDF, Markdown, or plain text, and LiberScript detects your chapters automatically — bold, italic, and other formatting from the original file carries over instead of being flattened to plain text.

Author & publisher, without retyping them

Once you've typed an author or publisher name on one book, it's offered as a suggestion on every other book's author/publisher field — genuinely useful once you're managing more than one title, or writing under a consistent pen name and imprint.

Downloading your exports

Every book in your list has a download icon with everything you've exported for it — EPUB, DOCX, print PDF, cover PDF, or an annotated critique copy. Open any of them again without regenerating, or clear out old exports you no longer need to keep your list tidy.

Archiving a book

Finished, on hold, or just want it out of your active list? Archive a book to tuck it out of the way without deleting anything — nothing about the manuscript itself changes.

How to use it, step by step

1
Start or upload a book from the dashboard's main "New Book" button.
2
Fill in author and publisher once — every future book offers them back to you.
3
Export from the Design tab when your book is ready, in whichever formats you need.
4
Download or clear exports any time from the download icon next to that book.
5
Archive books you're not actively working on to keep your list focused.
