Quick answer

Open the Non-fiction ebook flow, enter a Book Title / Topic and use Advanced Settings for audience and style. Keep a free custom outline at 50 sections or fewer, then follow its Library card while generation continues in the background.

Before you start

What you need

  • Use a verified Automateed account and open the Non-fiction ebook creation flow.
  • Prepare a Book Title / Topic of no more than 100 characters and keep a free-plan custom outline at 50 total sections or fewer.

Procedure

Complete the task step by step

  1. 01

    Choose the Non-fiction ebook workflow

    Open Create, select Non-fiction ebook and enter a Book Title / Topic of no more than 100 characters.

    Current app screenAutomateed Create Your Book form with book type and instruction fields
    Choose a book type first, then enter a focused title or topic. Advanced Settings contains the optional controls.
  2. 02

    Describe the reader and outcome

    Use Target Audience, Writing Style and About Author in Advanced Settings instead of relying on a generic subject alone.

  3. 03

    Keep the free outline within its limit

    Use Outline Structure to keep the custom outline at 50 total sections or fewer on a free account.

  4. 04

    Generate the outline and book

    Approve the outline, start generation and continue other work while the Library card processes in the background.

  5. 05

    Open it from Library

    Use Library to follow progress and open the completed preview.

Success check

Confirm that it worked

  • The outline is created and the book receives a Library card.
  • The Library card moves through “Queued” or “Creating” and eventually reaches “Ready”, after which the project can be opened.

Important notes

  • Generation continues in the background; the Library explicitly says you can keep working elsewhere.
  • For a custom structure, up to 50 total sections uses one book credit; more than 50 uses two credits and is blocked for a free user.

Troubleshooting

If it still does not work

The create button says “Insufficient Credits” or the free-plan outline is rejected

Reduce Number of Chapters or Subchapters per Chapter until Total Sections is 50 or fewer, or add the required book credit.
