This is obviously designed for the print book aspect as you don’t need to select a size for an ebook. It brings up a Choose your book page where you select the size of book you want. The program is definitely not lightning fast and feels a bit clunky.
Start a New Book is the place to begin so I clicked on the button.

However, I’m always happy to be proved wrong, particularly if it means less work for me, so I downloaded Bookwright and fired it up on my Mac and here’s the opening screen. I believe this is the only way to produce a truly professional-looking print book. If I can really be persuaded to go through the long, hard slog of producing a print book, then I’ll shift over to InDesign or Quark XPress and more or less start again. With either of these programs, you can produce excellent ebook files quickly but neither would be any good for pumping out a print book. My usual method of working is to use Jutoh or Scrivener to produce mobi and epub ebook files. All I know is that I have a lot of experience in producing print publications and I’ve been unable to get acceptable results in this way.
There are those who say you can use Adobe InDesign or even Microsoft Word to produce an acceptable hybrid file.

The free Bookwright software is downloaded to your own computer to design and format your book but you have to distribute the book(s) through Blurb.Īlthough Blurb really is a photo book specialist I don’t see why that shouldn’t be adaptable for any type of books, including novels and general non-fiction, and Blurb do refer to Bookwright’s novel text templates and cookbook templates.Īnyway, although I’m not a big fan of self-publishing print books due to the basic problem that it’s very difficult to make money with print books, I thought I’d give Bookwright at least a cursory go just to see how easy it really is to produce an ebook and print book in one fell swoop. The firm is also offering a distribution deal where it will print, store and sell your books through Amazon. Self-publishing photo book specialist Blurb have come up with some software that claims to be capable of producing files for an ebook and printed book at the same time, a holy grail of sorts for self-publishers.
