2. What if you could:
• proceed from basic text to a published eBook using one
simple to use tool
• retain full control over the process
3. Create a new book project
From http://epubchef.com
Here’s how
4. The resulting ePubChef project
from https://github.com
Includes:
• Skeleton files for your book
• Recipe file to personalise
• eBook templates and styles
• Code to produce a fully
validated EPUB and .mobi
5. Write your book
• Start with the “recipe”
• Add scenes, chapters and revise
the layout as you go
7. Keep writing…
• Zen writing mode is available
• Write online or offline
• Create branches and merge to
main book when done.
8. Invite collaborators
Editors, publishers, eBook architects,
agents can be invited to view and
contribute.
All edits are fully controlled and reversible.
Book projects can be public or private.
9. Generate an eBook at any time
Any collaborator or anyone given a voucher can have an
EPUB or .mobi mailed to them – anytime.
ePubChef:
• Works with Markup or HTML snippets
• Creates smart quotes
• Multi-level table of contents
• Cleans text (eg. Removes double spaces)

GitHub pull request.
10. Retain full control over the look,
and the book.
CSS and layout templates are under full control of
authors and collaborators to the project.
The code to generate the book is yours to keep – forever,
and can be run on your computer.

• eBooks created with ePubChef can be sold by Amazon,
Apple and other retailers – just like any other EPUB
