Publishing your first book
Create a book in Studio with synopsis, genres, tropes, warnings, language, cover and sample; it starts as a draft and you flip it to Coming soon or Published.
For authors · updated 2026-09-12
From Studio › Books › New book, create a book with its title, synopsis, genres, tropes, content warnings and level, language, page count and a cover chosen from the curated covers and patterns (the title is drawn on the pattern for you — there is no image upload in the beta).
Books start as drafts. When you are ready, edit the book and set its status to Coming soon (listed with a date) or Published. On the edit page you can also add a sample readers open on the book page and retailer links — chosen by you; Booklabria takes no cut and sells no placement.
When a book is published, followers of your pen name and of its series are told once.
