What it does

Fourteen essays as cards with photos, all selected, and the running chapter list on the right// 01

Pick the posts

Paste a link and the whole archive appears as cards. Search, filter by year, and click the ones that belong in the book.

A list of chapters on the left and two typeset pages of the first chapter on the right// 02

Put the chapters in order

Drag chapters into reading order. Click one to see its real pages. Set a chapter in two columns or open it with a full-page image.

The chapter editor with the title, subtitle and each paragraph listed with a tick box// 03

Edit a chapter

Change a title, add a note before the chapter, or untick a paragraph that should not be in the book. The original post is not touched.

A bold black and yellow cover with the eight cover templates beside it// 04

Eight covers

Pick a template, then change the colors, the typefaces, the symbol and the pattern. Drag anything on the cover to move it.

The full cover laid flat, with the blurb on the back, the spine in the middle and the front on the right// 05

Back cover and spine

Write the blurb and add an author photo. The back, the spine and the front are drawn as one sheet, with the spine sized to the page count.

A contents page and a centered chapter opening beside the typeface, trim size and chapter settings// 06

Lay out the pages

Ten typefaces, four trim sizes, three chapter openers, chapter icons, page numbers and running headers. Every change sets the real pages again.

The export step with PDF, EPUB and print package choices and a print checklist// 07

Export for screen or print

A PDF for reading, an EPUB for e-readers, or a print package with the inside pages and the cover. A checklist flags print problems first.

Stand the book up as a 3D mockup and download the picture, ready to post when you announce it.

What it is

Writers put years into a newsletter, and then it sits in an archive nobody scrolls. I wanted a way to turn that archive into a book you can hold.

StackPress reads your posts from Substack, Ghost, Beehiiv, Medium or any blog with a feed. You pick the ones you want, put them in order, design the cover and the pages, and export. It walks you through five steps, and you see real pages the whole way.

It is for writers printing their own essays. Every part of it is free. There are no plans and no watermark, and you do not need an account.

StackPress is free. Open it and make something.
