Books from what you already know
Turn what you already know into a book you can stand behind.
Bring the notes, transcripts, and posts you've already written. Bindery shapes them into a lead magnet, a how-to guide, or a workbook, and tells you plainly where the book is thin.
- No card to start
- Manuscripts stay in your browser
- Pro is $14.99 a month
How it works
Three steps, and you stay the author in all of them.
- 1
Bring what you have
Paste notes, call transcripts, old posts, and outlines, or upload text, Markdown, and PDF files. Bindery reads all of it and tells you how much book is really in there.
- 2
Draft, then check
It builds the outline from what your material covers and drafts each chapter in your voice. Then the honesty check marks every claim, number, and story your sources don't back up.
- 3
Cover it and ship it
Set a typographic cover, add optional art behind it, export a typeset PDF and an EPUB, and copy the listing text for Amazon KDP.
The honesty check
It tells you what it made up.
Every flag points at a specific passage and says why. You decide what happens next. A book with three real stories beats a book with thirty invented ones, and your name is the one on the cover.
- Claims your sources don't support
- Numbers and studies that appear from nowhere
- Stories that didn't happen to you
- Filler that could sit in anyone's book
Chapter 3 · The first two weeks
Most handoffs fail in the first two weeks, not the last. When I moved the Hartley account to a new lead, I wrote a one-page “how they like to work” note before the first call. Studies show 68% of clients leave within a month of a team change.
“68%” and the study it cites don't appear anywhere in your sources.
The finished thing
It comes out looking like a book, not a document.
Sample pages from a fictional guide, laid out the way Bindery's export sets them. On the free plan you can download your own first chapter set like this.
In the studio
Everything between your notes and a finished book.
One place to draft, check, cover, list, and export. Nothing to stitch together.
Starts from your material
The outline comes from what you've actually covered, and every chapter shows which of your sources it leans on.
An honesty check on every chapter
Unsupported claims, invented numbers, and borrowed-sounding stories are flagged on the exact passage. Add the real example, attach a note, or cut it.
Covers set in type
Five typographic layouts and eight restrained palettes with a paper grain. They read like trade paperbacks because they're built the way trade paperbacks are.
A publish kit with every book
KDP description, seven backend keywords, two browse categories, a back-cover blurb, and an author bio built only from facts you gave it.
Art behind the type, if you want it
Pick a style and Bindery draws an illustration to sit behind your title. The lettering is still set in real type, so it stays crisp at thumbnail size.
Why Bindery
Most AI book tools start from a prompt. That's the problem.
A one-line idea produces a book anyone could have written. What makes yours worth reading is in your notes, your client calls, your drafts. Bindery starts there.

Questions
Fair things to ask before you start.
What do I get for free?
You can add your sources, build the outline, draft one full chapter from your own material, run the honesty check on it, and design the cover. No card and no account. That is enough to judge whether the writing sounds like you before you pay.
What can I use as source material?
Anything you can paste, plus .txt, .md, and .pdf uploads. Call transcripts, newsletters, slide notes, old blog posts, a rough outline, a workshop handout. The more of your own thinking you bring, the less the book sounds like everyone else's.
Is the AI writing good enough to publish?
It is a strong first draft in your voice, not a finished book. Bindery is built on the assumption that you will read and edit it. The honesty check exists to show you exactly where to spend that time.
Do I own the book? Can I sell it?
Yes. Everything you make is yours to sell on Amazon KDP, Gumroad, your own site, or anywhere else. Note that KDP asks you to declare AI-assisted content when you upload, and you should answer that honestly.
There's no login. How do I get back in?
When you subscribe you get a private access link. Open it in any browser to use your subscription there. The same link is printed on every receipt Stripe emails you, so you can't lose it.
Where are my manuscripts stored?
In your own browser, not on our servers. That keeps your client material private, and it means you should download a backup file now and then. One click exports a whole book, and one click imports it on another device.
Can I cancel?
Any time, from Settings, in two clicks. You keep Pro until the end of the month you paid for, and every book you made stays yours.
Does it write novels or coloring books?
No. Bindery does lead magnets, how-to guides, and workbooks for people with real expertise. It does that one job carefully.
Start with the notes you already have.
Your first chapter is free.
