Publish Book Excerpts

Share sample chapters that belong to a book.

In this tutorial I will show you how to publish an excerpt, a sample your readers can read online.

  1. Go to Excerpts > Add New.
  2. Enter the title, for example “Chapter One” or the chapter’s name.
  3. In the main editor, paste the sample text itself.
  4. In the Excerpt field, write a one or two sentence teaser. This is shown on the excerpt card.
  5. In the Source Book box, choose the book.
  6. Set the Order (under Page Attributes) to control the chapter sequence: 1, 2, 3 and so on.
  7. Publish.

Excerpts are listed on their own page, and each book’s page shows the excerpts that belong to it under Read from this book.
