Want more control over your voice?
Give it a sample of your writing and steer every chapter. AIWriteBook writes your book chapter by chapter in your style, you review each one as it lands, and you end with a book you can publish.
Sounds familiar?
Real words from writers who used YouBooks.
The platform also lacks the depth of controls needed for consistent style/voice across a full manuscript
YouBooks review on AppSumo, 1 star
it does not allow me enough space to enter enough of my own previous content, so that it learns to write like me
YouBooks review on AppSumo, 4 stars
Not only did it hallucinate and make up fake stories and give false stats and information, but it also started writing gibberish in weird characters.

Worried about switching?
- Will it sound like me?
- Paste a few paragraphs of your own writing on the Details step and every chapter is written in that style. The AI Editor shows each change as a highlight you accept or reject, so nothing enters your book without you.
- Will it make up facts?
- Upload your own reference files and chapters are written from them, and you can list them as references at the end of the book. You read every chapter before you move on, so nothing slips through unseen.
- How do credits work?
- Your outline and first chapter are free. After that, plans start at $12/mo with monthly credits, or buy 250 credits once for $20 with no subscription.
- What happens to the draft I already have?
- Import it as a .docx file of up to 200,000 words. Your characters and notes come in free, and the first import is free until you buy anything.
Where YouBooks is better
We would rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one.
- Likely a lower cost per draft word, from €9.97 a month.
- Drafts of up to 300,000 words in one run.
- Top-up credits that never expire. Ours last 3 months.
- A trained Human Model for voice on its Pro plan.
