What it is

Bookmint formats manuscript files into print-ready PDFs and ebooks through a web browser. It accepts .docx, .md, and .txt files, detects chapters from headings, and picks up footnotes; Google Docs, Pages, and Scrivener files need to be exported to Word first. Authors can choose from 55 adjustable templates for fiction, nonfiction, poetry, memoir, cookbooks, and children's books, then adjust fonts, margins, drop caps, borders, and title pages. The title page studio has seven layouts and fields for a subtitle, tagline, and publisher. Live previews show print and ebook layouts, with device views for phones, e-readers, and tablets in light, sepia, and night modes; text can also be edited in the app. Exports include print PDFs with trim, bleed, crop marks, and embedded fonts, plus accessible EPUBs. The print PDF is preflighted for KDP and IngramSpark, and Kindle, Apple Books, and Kobo are named as ebook stores. The maker says processing happens in the browser, manuscripts are not uploaded, and no account is required. The free plan includes exports, with attribution unless activated.
