What To Do Next

After you create your book, you'll be taken to your book's "Overview" page, where you can see lots of available features!

We highly recommend you start by going through the full tutorial for you chosen "writing mode".

(The web browser writing mode is selected by default, but we also have Upload, GitHub, and Dropbox writing modes.)

Choosing an Author Membership

By default you'll have a Free Author Membership, with all the features you need to write and self-publish on Leanpub using our Browser and Upload writing modes.

However, if you want to unlock premium features, you can pay for a Standard Author Membership or a Pro Author Membership.

If you do want a paid membership, we highly recommend getting a Lifetime Pro Membership. You just make one payment once, and you'll have access to our premium features for as long as you use Leanpub, without ever having to think about it again!

You can choose your membership here:
