Big one just went live: you can now write full SERIES 🎉
I'm really excited about this one. Up to now, every book you made was its own island. Starting today, you can take any finished book and build a whole series from it — and BookNova carries your world and characters forward for you. There are two ways to do it, and they match how real authors actually build series: 🔗 Continue the story — same protagonist, the plot carries on (think trilogies, sagas, a returning detective). Book 2 picks up from where Book 1 ended, remembers what happened, and keeps everyone consistent. 🌍 New story, same world — a fresh lead and a fresh plot in the same world and cast, but each book reads on its own. This is the romance/cozy-mystery model — "same town, new couple (or new case) every book" — and it's fantastic for letting new readers jump in anywhere. Here's how to do it 👇 — Open your library and find any finished book — Click "Write next book" on the book's card — Pick the type: Continue the story or New story, same world — Choose what carries over — world, tone, characters, series canon, and (for continuations) a recap of what happened — Choose which characters carry over — this is my favourite part: for a "same world" mystery you can carry just your detective and leave the one-book victim and culprit behind 🕵️ — Set how much time has passed, and (for a new-world book) pick your new lead — Hit generate — you'll land in a Story Bible that already knows your world, with your returning cast already on the Characters step A couple of things I care a lot about that are baked in: ✅ Your characters remember and evolve. If someone died or got married or moved away in Book 1, that carries forward — no one gets accidentally resurrected, and you can edit each character's state before you generate. ✅ Continuity is handled for you. Names, places, world rules and established facts stay locked across the whole series, right down to the finished prose — so you're not maintaining a series bible by hand. ✅ You're in control. You decide what carries and what doesn't. Everything you carry is shown to you clearly before you generate.

@Zigmars Berzins This is great. Question. If I make significant edits outside the program. Can I load the final version back into the software ? So I can then build the series document from that?
Save the Cat Beat Sheet
Friends. 🙏 Would you be interested if you could choose which method to use for putting together a book's skeleton? For example: Save the Cat Beat Sheet, Hero's Journey (Campbell/Vogler), Seven-Point Structure (Dan Wells), Fichtean Curve ...

@Zigmars Berzins yes! for romance would love to see a modified Romancing The Beat structure, modified to remove/shorten beats one and two. KU readers like the meet cute in chapter 1.
First Book Done!
First of all I want to thank Zigmars Berzins and Kathy Rupert for posting how to create a book with AI. I put all that information on a text file so I could look at it any time. I laid out my first book following those instructions and my book came out perfect with no need to change it in anyway. It followed all of my Prompts and what I wanted to see. The only thing wrong that was an easy fix was in chapter 3 Elias Thorne became Elias Vance in chapter 6 and to the end.. I just copied and replaced and changed all the names to the first name because I liked it better. I just finished publishing it an hour ago. I did everything with the word file. I resized it to 5.5"x8.5" because that is the size I prefer and that's how my other 15 books are. I love the program and I already have the next 6 books in my mind. 😀 Have a great day!😀

@Philip Bruch perfect thank you!
🎉 New feature just dropped: Custom Details for your characters!
You already fill in the big stuff — appearance, motivation, backstory, arc. But there's always that one detail that makes a character feel real and doesn't fit any box. Now it has a home. 🏡 You can add as many extra pieces of info as you want. Each one has three simple parts: ① Type (pick from a dropdown) ② Label (a short name to keep you organized) ③ Detail (the actual info) The magic is in the Type, because it tells BookNova how to use each detail. There are three: 🔹 Trait — an always-true fact, treated as canon across the whole book. 👉 e.g. "Handedness → Left-handed" or "Distinguishing mark → A faded scar over her right eye" 🔹 Note — your catch-all for anything else: lore, quirks, secrets, history. 👉 e.g. "Fear → Secretly terrified of the ocean" or "Backstory → Raised by smugglers, distrusts anyone in uniform" 🔹 Mannerism — a recurring behavior tied to a trigger. This is the one I'm proudest of. 👇 👉 e.g. "Spell tell → Lets her hair down right before releasing a powerful spell" Here's why Mannerisms are special. Anyone can tell an AI "this character does X." The hard part is getting it to do X only when the moment actually calls for it — not stamping it into every chapter, and not describing it the same way each time (a dead giveaway a machine wrote it). So BookNova handles them differently under the hood: it weaves a mannerism in only when the trigger genuinely happens in a chapter, and rewrites it fresh every time. Your mage lets her hair down when she's about to unleash something powerful — a real, earned signature moment your readers start to anticipate — instead of a tic on every page. That's the difference between a character that feels written and one that feels alive. ✨ Best part? It lives right on the character, so it carries across every book you use them in. Build once, and every trait, quirk, and signature move follows them everywhere. 📚 Go try it and tell me what you put in — I already know some of you are going to build some wonderfully weird characters, and I'm here for it. 😄

This is cool. Thank you
Would you be interested in earning with TextBuilder Affiliate?
The main question. Do you have sufficiently powerful channels to advertise TextBuilder (personal blog, groups, communities, social media account, etc.)?And would you be interested in also selling TextBuilder as an affiliate? The new TextBuilder PDF book generator is selling like hotcakes. People really love this product, and very soon there will be a visual editor, as well as novel-writing capabilities. We're going even bigger. That's why I'm asking about Affiliate. Maybe it's time to revisit this topic. Because I did have an Affiliate program before, but unfortunately so few people were interested in promoting and earning from affiliate that I ended up shutting the program down.
