@Kathy Nolan Hi Bert, Thank you so much for the kind words - it genuinely means a lot, and I'm really glad you're enjoying BookNova. Straight answer to your question: not in the way you're picturing. There is currently no "import my 7 finished chapters and continue from chapter 8" feature. BookNova generates a book from your outline itself, and while it writes it builds up its own internal continuity layer chapter by chapter - character state, world facts, what has been revealed and when, running summaries, and so on. Chapters written outside BookNova don't carry that layer, so the engine has no reliable way to pick up mid-book and stay consistent with your existing 7 chapters. If you paste your finished chapters into the story/idea field, BookNova treats that text as background/brief - it won't preserve your exact prose, it will write its own version. So it won't literally continue your manuscript. What does work well, and what I'd suggest: - Set up the book in BookNova using your story idea, characters, world building and full outline. That's exactly the input it's built for, and a detailed outline gives you the most control over the result. - Let it generate the full arc. You can then keep the chapters you like from your own draft and use BookNova's chapters 8-25 as your continuation, editing freely - every chapter is fully editable in the editor. - If you want the AI's chapters to match the voice of your first 7, paste a representative passage of your writing into the idea/brief so it has your tone to work from. It's not the one-click continuation you asked about, I know, but with a solid outline it gets you very close. Happy to walk you through the setup if you'd like. Regards, Zigmars

@Isobel Phillips yes, that was also the idea of the question. Edit a chapter in Booknova and re-generate the next chapter in Booknova based on the previous edited chapter. But seems not possible.

@Kathy Rupert see above

@Kathy Rupert I do the same, first Booknova then Claude

@Isobel Phillips that's exactly what I also want to know. I have put that question both to the group and per DM to Zigmars. No answer unfortunately.

I was thinking to start my own payhip webshop

I just started with writing stories and like to write cozy mystery on one side but also raw crime noir stories on the other side. I roughly 'translated' my biological (yes, I was adopted too) family name into Italian sound and created two brothers Tony and Alfredo Rizoccoli. Tony writes cozy and Alfredo crime noir.
