How to publish your first book on Arwy

You don't need a finished manuscript, an agent, or even a plan. Arwy lets you write the way most stories actually get written — one chapter at a time, in the open, with readers arriving as you go. Let's get your first book live.

Step 1 — Start a new book

Head to your books and tap to create a new one. Give it a title, pick up to five genres so the right readers can find it, and you're off. Don't overthink the title — you can change it later.

Step 2 — Write your first chapter

The chapter editor is clean and gets out of your way. Write as much or as little as you like. Your work is saved as a draft automatically, so if you close the app mid-sentence, nothing is lost. You can come back, add chapters, and reorder your thoughts whenever inspiration strikes.

Step 3 — Polish with AI spell-check

When a chapter is ready, tap the AI spell-check button. Arwy quietly cleans up typos and small slips — but it never changes a word without your say-so. You see the corrected version side by side with your original, and only you decide whether to apply it. Your voice stays your voice.

Step 4 — Add a cover and set the tone

A good cover earns the first click. Add one to your book, and if your story carries mature or sensitive themes, set the content warnings honestly. It helps the right readers find you and keeps everyone comfortable — that's good for your book, not a limit on it.

Step 5 — Publish

Hit publish, and your book is live to the world. It can show up in Discover, in readers' feeds, and — here's the magic — as people read it, Arwy starts matching them with each other through your story. You didn't just publish a book. You created a little meeting place.
