Direct answer
Free includes 1 Steering Connect book with up to 50,000 accepted words. Connect Plus is $4.99 per month for books up to 120,000 words and 3 active books. Pro is $9.99 per month for books up to 240,000 words, 10 active books, and 3 publication snapshots per billing period.
Free book
The limit is based on the accepted manuscript, not on conversation length, draft attempts, chapter count, or a timer. Replacing a chapter counts the complete new accepted version instead of both versions.
Referral-earned boundary
After 3 qualified referrals, the original free book permanently expands to 100,000 accepted words. The exact current limit is returned by BookWriter; agents must not infer it from chat history.
At the boundary
A save that would cross the current accepted-word boundary is refused before BookWriter claims success. The existing manuscript remains safe; shorten the chapter, earn the referral unlock, or select an appropriate paid plan.
Connect Plus capacity
Connect Plus supports targets up to 120,000 words and up to 3 active books under normal author use.
Pro capacity
Pro supports targets up to 240,000 words, up to 10 active books, versioned publishing metadata, and 3 unique immutable EPUB/PDF snapshots per billing period.
What active means
Active means currently writable. Finishing, archiving, or deleting a book frees its slot. The original free book counts as one paid-plan slot after upgrade.
If a plan ends
No book is deleted. The original included project returns to 50,000 words, or 100,000 if the permanent referral reward was earned. Other books remain preserved and readable but need a paid plan for further connected writing.
Export on every plan
Manual EPUB, PDF, DOCX, and Markdown export remains available. Pro publication packages add automated immutable snapshots; they are not a paywall around the author’s manuscript.
Separate assistant account
ChatGPT, Claude, or another compatible client is a separate service. Its availability and price are not included in BookWriter.
Frequently asked
Is the free book limited to one chapter?
No. Steering Connect free is limited by accepted words, up to 50,000, across as many approved chapters as the plan needs.
Can I create a second free book after deleting the first?
No. The included book is an account offer, not a reusable slot.
