Frequently Asked Questions

Plans, writing and formatting, exports, done-for-you book services, and billing — answered in one place. Looking for a feature walkthrough instead? Visit the Help Center. Still stuck? Email us.

Plans & Getting Started

Do LiberScript plans auto-renew?

No. Every plan is a one-time, fixed-price pass for a set amount of time: a day, a week, a month, a year, or forever with Lifetime. There's no recurring billing and nothing to cancel. Buying a new pass while one is still active stacks the new time on top of what's left.

What happens to my books if my pass expires?

Your projects stay on your account for a 7-day grace period after your pass ends, so reactivating picks up exactly where you left off. You can export your manuscript at any point while your pass is active, so your work is never trapped in LiberScript.

Can I collaborate with a co-author or an editor?

Yes. Every plan supports unlimited collaborators on a project, so you can invite a co-author, editor, or beta reader to review and work in the same manuscript with you.

Writing, Import & Export

Which file formats can I import and export?

You can import DOCX, EPUB, PDF, Markdown, and plain text — LiberScript detects chapters automatically, and preserves bold, italic, and other formatting from the original file rather than flattening it to plain text. For export, every plan supports EPUB, a paginated print PDF sized to your trim, and a clean DOCX.

Can I add footnotes and a bibliography?

Yes. Insert a footnote anywhere in your text with a citation form (type, author, title, source, publisher, year, link), and LiberScript numbers them automatically across the whole book. Add a Bibliography section and it's generated for you from every footnote you've used — rename it "References" or "Works Consulted" if you prefer, the list itself stays automatic either way.

Will my design choices (theme, chapter style, page numbering) actually save?

Yes — every change in the Design tab saves automatically as you make it, the same way your chapter text does. There's a "Saving…/Saved" indicator so you always know it's stuck.

AI Assist & Cover Studio

Do I need my own AI API key?

The editor, structural critique, design, and export tools all work fully with no AI key at all. AI Assist (outline generation, drafting, rewriting) can run on a personal key from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or OpenRouter, or on a small number of free generations we provide before a key or credits are needed.

Why don't I see the AI Assist or Cover Studio buttons?

Both are being rolled out gradually while we refine them, so they aren't turned on for every account yet. If you'd like early access to either, let us know.

Book Services

I don't want to format the book myself — can someone do it for me?

Yes. Alongside the self-serve toolkit, LiberScript offers ghostwriting, developmental editing, copyediting, manuscript formatting, cover design, and KDP metadata as done-for-you services, delivered by our team, priced and ordered separately from your pass.

Do you help with anything beyond the manuscript itself?

Yes — Author Website and Author Portfolio / Media Kit are available as standing author-branding services, separate from any single book, for authors who want a professional online presence built for them.

How do revisions work on a book service order?

Revisions within the scope you confirmed at order time are included at no extra cost — tell us specifically what's off and we'll fix it. See the Refund Policy for when a refund applies instead.

Billing

Can I get a refund?

It depends on what you bought — a toolkit pass, a book service, or AI credits are each handled differently. The full breakdown is in our Refund Policy.

What payment methods do you accept?

Stripe, PayPal, and Paystack, depending on your region — the checkout page shows whichever methods are available to you.
