# BookBud.ai

> Create fiction and nonfiction books with AI, then export publish-ready ebook files with BookBud.ai.

## Key facts

- BookBud.ai is an AI book writer for fiction and nonfiction. It takes a book from idea to outline to full draft, then exports publish-ready EPUB, PDF and Word (DOCX) files plus a cover.
- Free account: 25,000 credits at sign-up, no credit card required. That is enough to create an outline and a cover and draft the first few chapters. It is a free account, not a timed trial: the sign-up credits never expire.
- Paid plans (monthly): Starter $19/month (up to 3 books a month), Publisher Basic $49/month (up to 15 books), Pro $99/month (up to 50 books). Annual billing: $190, $490 and $990 a year (two months free).
- Nonfiction: verified citations. During a full-book run BookBud searches OpenAlex before each section, cites only sources it actually found, and adds a linked Citations chapter to every export.
- Fiction, including fantasy, thrillers and romance: a setup wizard fills in title, genre, setting and an initial cast from a short idea; chapters are then written interactively, with a character builder for consistency. The Polish & Editorial Review reads the whole novel and flags timeline, continuity and character-knowledge errors with a suggested fix for each.
- Every exported EPUB is checked with EPUBCheck, the validator the major ebook retailers use, before it is offered for download.
- AI cover generation with style presets, or upload your own cover.
- Optional distribution to Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo and other stores through SelfPublishing.pro, from the "Distribute My Ebook" button.
- Authors keep their work: BookBud claims no ownership or publishing interest in what you create.
- Made by Archieboy Holdings, LLC (Marlborough, Massachusetts). Support: hello@bookbud.ai, +1 978-643-8662.
