Signing in and returning to your draft

Google or an existing SecretBook account.

Use the login page to choose an enabled sign-in method. Google sign-in is available. Other methods marked as preparing are not available.

Creative tool inputs are kept on this browser for recovery. After signing in, return to the same tool and generate or save. Local recovery is not a substitute for a server save.

Saving, reopening and versions

Private account documents with explicit saves and previous text versions.

Accept a proposal into the editable manuscript, then choose “Save to my account”. The save status confirms the server accepted it. Your saved document list can be opened from any creative tool.

Each changed server save keeps previous manuscript text, up to eight versions. Restore a version into the editor, review it and save again. If another tab changed the same document, saving stops with a conflict message rather than overwriting the newer copy.

Archive hides no data permanently. Reopen an archived document and use Restore document to return it to active status.

From a short draft to a full manuscript

Transfer your accepted text into the chapter-based studio.

Choose “Continue in studio” to save the current document and open it in the writing workspace. The imported manuscript is a real chapter, while notes and author instructions remain separate.

Use the studio’s chapter planning and automatic writing controls for long work. Completed relay segments are saved on the server. Closing the page stops the active browser stream; use the same job to resume.

Troubleshooting · 1 MIN READ

AI timeout, service error or restricted request

Your accepted manuscript survives failed generation.

A temporary AI service error can be retried. The proposal does not replace the manuscript automatically. Provider restrictions require changing the content of the request.

For a long draft, move it into the studio and ask for one section at a time. The creative editor allows AI revision for up to 24,000 characters of existing text per request.

Import and download

TXT and Markdown imports with downloadable text backups.

Creative tools accept a TXT or Markdown file up to 100 KB and 24,000 characters, suitable for a section of a manuscript. Larger work can be split into chapters.

Download the accepted draft or a proposal as Markdown. The file is a plain-text manuscript you can edit elsewhere. PDF and Word import are not implemented in these new tools.

USDT and credits

Check your balance and the services currently priced in credits.

The billing page accepts the configured USDT network and displays a server-generated order. Follow the network and exact amount shown by that order.

The current ordinary text-writing flow does not deduct credits. Character and media services use their configured pricing; check Credits & usage for current settings.

Choose among twelve output languages

Choose the language before generating.

The creative tool’s output selector supports English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Indonesian, Vietnamese and Thai. The request instructs AI to write in that language.

The existing site interface has its own language selector. The new resource articles currently use English; selecting an output language changes the generated manuscript.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get and promote my own writing site?

Apply on the partner page with a name, address and introduction. After administrator approval, customise your logo, banner and colour, then copy your public link and editable promotion text. Customer attribution and verified settlement records appear in your dashboard. Link clicks alone do not generate earnings.

Apply and see how it works
Which writing tool should I choose?

Use Story for a short narrative, Novel for chapter-based fiction, Book for nonfiction and Script for film or stage scenes. Title, Plot and Prompt tools help before drafting. Start with one clear brief; each tool has its own field guide.

Compare creative tools
How do I develop a full novel?

Plan characters and major turns first. Generate and review a manageable opening, then use Continue in studio for chapter-based writing. The studio offers five-chapter short and twenty-chapter long projects. A single creative-tool generation is a section, not a finished full book.

Read the novel field guide
How do I give the AI specific instructions?

Put story material in Your idea or source notes. Use Author instructions for what should happen, the tone, what must stay unchanged and where the scene should stop. Choose the output language, genre and viewpoint separately.

Try a clear creative brief
Can I bring my existing manuscript?

Creative tools import TXT or Markdown up to 100 KB and 24,000 characters per section. The studio also accepts TXT or Markdown up to 2 MB. Use the accepted-draft field for a manuscript you want to revise, and keep a backup before switching projects.

Open manuscript editor
Where are my manuscripts saved?

Save to my account stores an accepted draft privately on the server after sign-in. Reopen it from My saved documents. Inputs are also recovered on this browser, but device recovery does not replace an account save. Download a backup when moving devices.

Read save and recovery guidance
Can I recover an earlier version?

Changed account saves keep up to eight previous manuscript texts. Open a saved document, choose Saved versions, restore a text into the editor and save it again after review. The studio separately keeps browser snapshots.

Learn about saved versions
Will a new proposal overwrite my manuscript?

Generated proposals remain separate until you accept them. Continue appends the accepted proposal; Draft and Rewrite replace the accepted manuscript when you choose Use as draft. Read the proposal first and save or export work you want to retain.

Explore revision workflow
What should I do when generation fails?

Your accepted manuscript is preserved when a request fails. Check the visible error, sign in if requested and retry after a temporary service problem. Reduce a long request to one section. Provider content restrictions can still prevent a response.

Open troubleshooting guidance
Which output languages are available?

Choose English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Indonesian, Vietnamese or Thai in Output language. This controls generated text. The interface language selector is a separate setting.

Can I edit and use a template?

Select a book, script or character worksheet, fill in its fields and download your edited copy. Use my edited template in AI tool transfers your actual notes into the connected tool. Review the notes before generating.

How do I sign in?

Google sign-in is available. You can also use an existing SecretBook ID and password. Choose an enabled option on the sign-in page; methods shown as unavailable are not connected.

Does ordinary text writing use credits?

Text writing uses 1,000 monthly free credits first. Successful requests settle actual token usage at standard provider rates × 10, converted to whole credits. Unused reservations are released and failed requests are not charged. Character, image and voice services have separate prices. Check the writing balance before starting.

Check service pricing
How does USDT top-up work?

Open billing and use the server-generated order. Follow that order’s BSC network, recipient and exact USDT amount; confirmations are checked before credits are granted. Refer to the live order for current payment details.

Can I order a printed personalized book?
