Finish your book with AI, starting from the chapters you have already written

Most unfinished books stop in a similar place: somewhere in the middle, when the energy of the opening has gone and the ending is still a long way off. If that is where yours is, you can bring it to INKFLOW and have the remaining chapters written.

On the start page, choose Upload a book you have started. The manuscript you import does not count against your allowance. Continuing past the free chapters needs a plan with chapters left, or a reviewer code.

Your own chapters stay yours. What INKFLOW adds is AI-generated, and you should read and edit it as carefully as you wrote the rest.

Finishing a half-written book, step by step

1
Decide how it ends
Before anything else, write down the ending, even roughly. A book that knows where it is going is far easier to finish, for you or for a writer you hand it to.
2
Upload what you have
Use Upload a book you have started on the start page. Add a note on what happens next and anything the remaining chapters must include.
3
Choose a voice close to yours
Read the samples for the 11 voices and pick the one nearest your own style, so the join between your chapters and the new ones is as quiet as it can be.
4
Read the new chapters against your own
Read where your last chapter ends and the first new one begins. That join is where a reader would notice a change, so edit it first.

What finishing a book with INKFLOW involves

Your manuscript costs nothing to bring

Importing a book you have started does not use any of your allowance. The allowance goes on the chapters INKFLOW writes.

Your ending, in your note

Tell the writer what is left to happen and how the book ends. The clearer your note, the closer the new chapters stay to the book you meant to write.

Your names and facts, from you

Put the characters, places and facts the rest of the book depends on into your note. Do not assume the writer will pick up every detail from your chapters.

Honest about the join

We do not yet promise that the chapters you upload are checked against the new ones. Read the new chapters beside your own and correct any name, date or detail that has drifted.

Your words and its words

Your chapters remain your writing. The new chapters are AI-generated. If you publish on Amazon, declare the AI-generated text honestly.

How to finish a book, with or without AI

Write the last chapter, or at least its last scene, before you write the middle. Knowing the destination makes every chapter in between easier to decide.

List the scenes still missing, one line each, and put them in order. A middle that looks impossible as a whole is often a dozen or so manageable scenes.

Stop rereading the opening. Many writers who stall have polished chapter one again and again. Leave it, and come back to it when the draft is done.

Set a small, regular target and keep to it. Finishing is mostly a matter of not stopping.

If you finish it yourself and want a second view, the editor report gives a free preview of the five most serious problems it finds, such as plot holes, pacing and loose threads.

Questions

Will it continue my book in my style?

It writes in the voice you choose, so pick the sample closest to your own. It will not match you exactly; expect to edit the new chapters so they sound like you.

Does the uploaded manuscript cost anything?

Importing it does not count against your allowance. Going beyond the free chapters needs a plan with chapters left, or a reviewer code.

Will it keep my characters consistent with what I wrote?

We do not claim that yet for uploaded books. Give the key facts in your note, and check every new chapter against your own before you rely on it.

Can I publish the finished book?

Yes. The text INKFLOW writes is yours to use, including commercially, and we claim no ownership. It is AI-generated, even after you edit it, so disclose it when a store asks. Copyright in AI text is limited and depends on your own contribution and local law; this is not legal advice.
