![]() ![]() My process for writing a book is to create the outline of the book first, by creating the chapters and scenes and writing a brief summary of what will happen in each scene in the Synopsis box first. I have mistakenly called these ‘Chapter 1′,’Chapter 2’ etc and then discovered that my final ePub has “Chapter 1, Chapter 1” as the first chapter title. The folders are by default called ‘Chapter’ and you should remain these to an appropriate name for the chapter – depending on the template you have chosen this may be used as the name compiled by default in the final document. You can then select this chapter in the Binder and start adding scenes by clicking the + button again. To create a new “folder” or chapter you need to select the Manuscript in the Binder and click the little arrow next to the + button and select “New Folder”. So in the example above to add another scene, you would hit the + button. ![]() You need to click the big + button at the top (or sometimes the little down arrow next to it if you want to add a chapter) to create a new scene underneath the chapter you have selected. You start off with a blank canvas, usually with a Manuscript, Chapter and a Scene. On the right of the screen is a window that comes up if you press the big I button on the toolbar called the “Inspector Window” – this is where you can add notes and write a brief summary of what the scene or chapter is about. The folders (like ePub Internals in the screenshot above) are equivalent to Chapters and you don’t need to number them in the titles. Depending on what template you choose when you create the document you may see one or more sub-folders under the main Manuscript folder. You can see the structure in the Binder window. One feature I do especially like is that it allows you to split your document up into more manageable chunks (in fact to use it right you should split your document up). ![]() There are loads of other features that I don’t use with some people might find really useful.
