Many eBooks that never get finished stall at the planning stage. The topic is clear, but the order of the chapters, the promise in the title and the first page are not. The eBook Planner is an AI eBook outline generator that gives you that plan from two inputs, the topic and the reader you are writing for.
It returns three sections. Title options, with three pairs of title and subtitle that each state a promise for your reader. Chapter outline, with six to ten chapters that move from the reader's starting point to the result they want, each with a goal and three to five key points, examples or exercises. And an Introduction of 150 to 250 words, ready to edit.
The tool plans the book, it does not write every chapter. Once the outline is right, write each chapter with Blog Article or the AI Article Wizard. It is part of the Writing assistant family.

Tips for better results
- Describe one reader, not everyone. An eBook for beginners and experts at the same time serves neither.
- Add what the reader wants to achieve by the last page. The outline is built toward that result.
- Generate twice and combine the best chapters from each outline.
Who uses it, and for what
Consultant creating a lead magnet
Plan a short guide to offer in exchange for an email address, around one problem your clients have.
Coach or trainer
Turn a method you teach into a structured eBook with exercises in every chapter.
Small business owner
Plan a practical guide for customers, such as how to choose, use or care for a product.

Limits and good practice
- It plans the book and writes the introduction only. The chapters are written separately.
- It never invents statistics, studies, quotes, prices or dates, and marks what you must verify with [to check].
- It works best for practical non-fiction. For fiction, see the Story Generator.
Frequently asked questions
How do I outline an eBook?
Start from one reader and one result they want. List the steps from where they are today to that result, and make each step a chapter with a clear goal and a few key points. The eBook Planner does this from your topic and target reader, then you adjust the order.
How many chapters should an eBook have?
It depends on the topic, but a practical guide is often easier to read when each chapter covers one step. The tool proposes six to ten chapters, enough to cover a subject properly without padding. You can merge or split chapters once you see the full outline.
Does the tool write the whole eBook?
No. It writes the plan, which is title options, a chapter outline and the introduction. For the chapters, use a long-form tool such as Blog Article or the AI Article Wizard, one chapter at a time, using the goal and key points from the outline as your brief.
Can I use it to plan a lead magnet?
Yes. Lead magnets are often short practical eBooks, which suits this tool well. Describe the reader as the customer you want to attract and the problem they want solved. Then keep the chapters you need for a short guide and cut the rest. To get started, sign up and pick a plan from the pricing page.
Will the eBook contain invented facts?
The tool may use well-established general knowledge, but it does not invent statistics, studies, quotes, prices or dates. Anything you should verify is marked [to check]. Before publishing, confirm each claim with a reliable source, especially in health, finance or legal topics.
