Common questions
Everything authors ask before converting their first manuscript.
What manuscript formats does BinderCraft support?
BinderCraft accepts EPUB, DOCX, and TXT files in English. If you use Apple Pages or Google Docs, export to DOCX first.
How long does the conversion take?
About 7 minutes for a typical novel (70,000–80,000 words). The AI reads your entire manuscript and builds a comprehensive story bible.
Is my manuscript stored or read by anyone?
No. Your manuscript is processed in memory and deleted immediately after conversion. We never store, read, or use your work.
What is included in the Scrivener project?
You get organized chapters, 12+ deep character profiles (with wounds, arcs, and voice notes), a 15-point beat sheet with key scenes, chapter synopses with craft guidance, relationship arcs, conflict matrix, worldbuilding/magic system analysis, and themes.
Do I need Scrivener to open the output?
Yes, you need Scrivener 3 (macOS or Windows) to open the generated .scriv project file. BinderCraft is not affiliated with Literature & Latte.
What if my conversion fails?
If your conversion fails, your payment is automatically refunded in full. You will see a Transaction ID you can use to contact us for support.
What is Scrivener Sync?
Scrivener Sync solves the Scrivener-to-Word roundtrip problem. If you exported your manuscript to Word for editor collaboration and need to get the edited text back into your Scrivener project, Sync merges the changes while preserving your labels, status markers, and compile settings. Basic Sync ($4.99) updates text in existing chapters, best for copy edits. Full Sync ($14.99) also adds new chapters, regenerates your story bible, and updates synopses to match the edits.
Do you support manuscripts in other languages?
Currently, BinderCraft supports English manuscripts only. If you have a manuscript in another language, contact us — we would love to offer you a free conversion in exchange for your feedback on the quality.
