Step-by-Step: Writing Your Gothic Horror eBook

  1. 1
    Open Scrivibe and select Gothic Horror

    Go to scrivibe.com and open the eBook generator. From the genre selector, choose 'Gothic Horror'. This pre-configures the AI model and writing style optimized for gothic horror content.

  2. 2
    Enter your book premise and description

    In the Book Description field, write 2–4 sentences describing your gothic horror eBook: the core concept, main subject or character, and intended audience. The more specific your premise, the more targeted and original the AI output.

  3. 3
    Set your chapter count and book length

    Choose how many chapters you want (typically 10–20 for a standard gothic horror eBook at 70,000–100,000 words) and set your target length. Scrivibe adjusts the depth and scope of each chapter to fit the overall target.

  4. 4
    Generate your AI chapter framework and review it

    Click 'Generate Framework' to produce a full chapter-by-chapter outline tailored to gothic horror conventions. Review each chapter title and summary — you can edit any before proceeding to full content generation.

  5. 5
    Generate each chapter with AI

    Click 'Generate' on each chapter. Scrivibe writes complete, properly structured gothic horror chapters maintaining narrative or structural continuity across the full book. Each chapter generation takes 30–90 seconds.

  6. 6
    Review, customize, and regenerate as needed

    Read your generated chapters. If any don't meet your expectations, click 'Regenerate' — Scrivibe's continuity system keeps the new content consistent with the rest of your book. You can also manually edit any section directly.

  7. 7
    Download your finished EPUB

    When all chapters are complete, click 'Download EPUB'. Your gothic horror eBook is exported as a fully formatted EPUB file, ready for Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, or any self-publishing platform.
