Build simple books like coloring books, activity books, and short guides under 20k words.
High content books
Create 30k word manuscripts using structured outlines and AI support.
How to pick your first public domain book
Start by choosing a category you care about. Use Gutenberg tags to explore titles in that topic. If you are not sure where to begin, open the most popular books list and pull the first fifty titles into a tracking sheet. This gives you a clear set of options to work with.
Your tracking spreadsheet layout
- Title
- Author
- Gutenberg link
- Date of first publication
- Author death year
- PD status in the U S
- Notes on formatting needed
- Upload status
The Starter Kit includes this sheet and teaches you how to log each book correctly.
