Introduction

I recently published a children’s bedtime storybook titled AI, Tell Me a Story which was written with the help of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. I’ve been curiously reading about the various ways in which ChatGPT has been enabling people to achieve wonderful things and I’ve always wanted to give it a try. And what better way to try, than to go into the deep end?

This article aims at taking you on the journey of creating, formatting, and publishing an eBook and a paperback with a special dose of artificial intelligence to give us a helping hand along the way.

A heads up, this is a long read so it has been split into a two-part article! Here’s a quick list of what to expect from this comprehensive guide:

1. Generating stories using ChatGPT
2. Creating a manuscript
3. Designing the book cover
4. Formatting the manuscript (in part 2)
5. Publishing using Kindle Direct Publishing (in part 2)
