BookNova: Edit Your AI Book Outline Before Writing

Sep 25, 2026
Fix and customize an AI-generated book outline before BookNova writes the actual chapters. Create your own books here: https://yb.digital/book In this video, I generate a new 12-chapter romance drama with BookNova based on a real-life-inspired story. After reviewing the automatically generated outline, I notice an important problem: the locations are too generic and repetitive. Several chapters are set in different European cities, but the outline keeps describing essentially the same setting — a European hotel room. That doesn't match the original story, where each meeting happened in a distinct location with its own narrative purpose. BookNova lets me edit the chapter descriptions, but some structural elements such as characters, locations and themes cannot be changed directly from the chapter interface. Instead, I download the outline file, edit it externally, and upload the modified version back into BookNova. In my case, I use another generative AI that already has the broader background of the story to help restructure the 12 chapters. The revised outline gives the different locations more specific narrative roles, reduces repetitive hotel-room settings and makes the progression of the romance drama more coherent. You can also edit the downloaded outline manually instead of using AI. Once the updated outline is uploaded, the next step is simply to write the chapters. #BookNova #AIBook #AIWriting #RomanceNovel #BookWriting
