Single files
The print PDF, EPUB, DOCX, cover wrap and ebook cover one at a time, from the manuscript's ④ Release.
For one file on its own — a proof for yourself, a Word file for an editor, a store you are uploading to by hand — use Single files at the foot of the manuscript's ④ Release. The Export… item on a book's card in the library opens the same place. For a full press-ready package across platforms, use the release bundle above it.
Each row downloads as soon as it is made, and shows Try again if it fails.
The files
| File | Notes |
|---|---|
| Print PDF | The press-ready interior, rendered server-side at your exact trim |
| EPUB | Reflowable, one spine item per chapter, real navigation |
| Word document | For editors, agents, or anyone who wants Word |
| Cover wrap PDF | The full back-spine-front wrap for your book's own platform |
| Ebook cover | A JPEG of the front, sized for the store you choose beside it |
The audiobook is not here: it is recorded, proofed and mastered in the Audiobook room, whose ④ Release keeps its files.
The Page numbers switch beside the files applies to the print PDF and the release. The title page, copyright page and contents are pages in ③ Write, under Front matter, each with its own switch.
Downloads cost no credits on any plan.
The print PDF
Rendered on the server by the same engine as the editor's Page view, so the file matches what you were shown — one layout engine rather than two that drift.
The trim is exact, fonts are embedded, margins are mirrored, and running heads and paragraph style follow your format settings.
EPUB and Word
Converted from the same clean per-chapter content as the PDF.
The EPUB gets one spine item per chapter and a real table of contents. Your front matter is included, and the ISBN goes into the metadata.
Remote images are stripped; embedded ones survive.
Layout books
A layout book offers its print PDF and covers only. EPUB and Word are not offered, and the page says why: a designed page has no reflowable form.
What to watch for
- Single files are not checked the way the release above them is. A cover wrap made here is sized to the book as it stands today; if the manuscript is well short of its plan, the page says so, because that spine will not fit the finished book.
- A free (unsubscribed) account gets no downloadable file at all. Not a watermarked one — a watermarked download still looks like a deliverable, which misleads.
- Downloads are rate limited. They launch a real browser server-side, so a rapid burst is throttled. The bundle exists partly to avoid this.
