Export & Formatting
Write here. Publish anywhere.
PDF, EPUB, DOCX. KDP trim sizes. Typography you control.
Print-ready PDF with real trim sizes
Select your trim size: 5"x8", 5.5"x8.5", 6"x9", or any custom dimension. Typewriter generates a PDF with correct margins, gutters, bleed, and page count for KDP, IngramSpark, or your local printer.
No third-party formatter. No uploading to Vellum. No $250 one-time purchase for a Mac-only app. Your manuscript exports as a print-ready interior file directly from the editor.
EPUB that passes validation
One click generates an EPUB 3 file that passes epubcheck. Table of contents auto-generated from your chapter structure. Cover image embedded. Metadata populated from your book details.
Upload directly to KDP, Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play Books, or any distributor. No conversion errors. No broken formatting. No "please resubmit" emails from Amazon.
Typography controls that matter
Drop caps on chapter openings — choose the style and how many lines it spans. Scene break ornaments from a library of 20+ glyphs, or use your own. Running headers with book title on the left and chapter title on the right.
Leading (line spacing), tracking (letter spacing), paragraph indent depth, widow/orphan control. These aren't cosmetic. They're the difference between a book that looks self-published and one that looks like it came from a Big Five house.
DOCX for your editor, agent, or publisher
Your editor wants a Word file with tracked changes enabled. Your agent wants standard manuscript format: 12pt Courier, double-spaced, 1-inch margins. Your publisher wants their house style.
Typewriter exports DOCX with Shunn standard manuscript format as a one-click preset. Custom presets for any house style. No manual reformatting in Word after export.
