What Bookmint is

Bookmint formats manuscripts in a browser as print PDFs and ebooks for independent authors. It imports .docx, Markdown, and text files, detects chapters from headings, and recognizes footnotes. Authors can select from 55 adjustable templates for fiction, nonfiction, poetry, memoir, cookbooks, and children's books, then change fonts, margins, drop caps, borders, and title pages. The title page studio has seven layouts and fields for a subtitle, tagline, and publisher. Live previews show print and ebook layouts, including reflowing pages on phones, e-readers, and tablets in light, sepia, or night modes; text can also be edited in the app. Exports include print PDFs with trim, bleed, crop marks, and embedded fonts, as well as accessible EPUBs. The print PDF is preflighted for KDP and IngramSpark, and Kindle, Apple Books, and Kobo are named stores. The maker says processing happens in the browser and manuscripts are not uploaded. Beta access is free; free exports carry a Bookmint mark unless activated, and beta activation is free.
