FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Good to know before you start.
The most important answers about writing, ownership, guidance, security, and publishing.
Do I start with an empty book or can I bring my manuscript?
Both. You can write a new book from the first page. With Medium and Premium you can also import an existing DOCX, TXT, or Markdown manuscript and continue working on it.
Who owns my book?
You. You retain copyright and ownership of your own text. By using the platform, The Next Title does not acquire any copyright, ownership, or automatic publication right over your book.
Is my work saved automatically?
Yes. Your work is saved automatically while writing. Version history also allows you to find earlier moments and safely restore an older version without permanently losing your current text.
Does AI write my book for me?
No. AI is a tool for targeted tasks such as spelling, shortening, expanding, and book analysis. You choose when to use a function, evaluate the result, and maintain creative control yourself.
What helps me make my story stronger?
Depending on your subscription, you receive support for storyline, characters, relationships, writing style, and book analysis, among others. The analysis provides signals and revision points; not an automatic quality judgment.
Is my book published automatically or sent to publishers?
No. First you check the private reading copy, process beta reader feedback, and go through the book analysis. Only then do you create a publication version yourself and decide whether and which rights you offer via the publisher route.
Which subscription suits me?
Basic is free for one active writing project and offers image features with optional credits, but no EPUB export. Medium adds EPUB publishing and in-depth book features; upon publication on Read the Next Title, a new writing slot becomes available. Premium is for multiple books simultaneously and the international publishing and publisher route.
Are image and video generations included?
No. Generation credits are separate from your subscription, so you only pay when you want to have images or video created. Unused purchased credits remain yours.
Can I try for free first and then cancel myself?
Basic is free and does not require a payment card. Medium and Premium start immediately after a successful payment via Stripe. Managing and cancelling is done from your account via Stripe.
