For podcasters

Turn your podcast into a book.

Upload episodes or import your podcast feed, extract the strongest themes and ideas, shape them into chapters, and end up with a real manuscript rather than a pile of transcripts.

The Podcaster offer

Every Pro account includes 10 episodes.

Each episode file can run up to an hour. The Podcast Plus Pack adds 20 more audio uploads of up to an hour each - audio capacity, not extra credits. Past your allowance you can also bring in more audio with credits, without leaving the plan.

From podcast episodes to a structured manuscript.

Not ready to upload anything? Try the free podcast-to-book summary first: it reads your public RSS feed details and shows the strongest book angle, your recurring themes and the episodes to start with. It does not listen to episodes.

From episodes to a finished book: how it works

1

CREATE

Bring in your episodes

Upload audio files or import your podcast RSS feed. Your Book Pro transcribes the material, groups related episodes and helps identify the strongest themes, stories and ideas inside the archive.

  • Upload audio or RSS
  • Transcribe episodes
  • Group related content
2

SHAPE

Discover the book inside the podcast

Your Book Pro groups key messages and concepts across episodes, not one episode per chapter. It suggests chapter directions, and tells you what the book still needs before it works as a book.

  • Group key messages across episodes
  • Build a chapter plan
  • See what the book still needs

IMPROVE

Turn raw speech into a better book

Use editorial feedback, Beta Readers, proofreading and Ask the Editor to refine the manuscript you build from the podcast source material.

  • Editorial feedback
  • Beta Readers
  • Proof Read
4

PREPARE

Take it from podcast to published book

Once the manuscript takes shape, use Your Book Pro to prepare it for publishing and print, while keeping the spoken source material and evidence behind the book clear.

  • Prepare for publishing
  • Print and publishing tools
  • Source-aware workflow

Where this happens in the app

Go to Create → Upload to add episode audio files, or import your show directly from its RSS feed. Everything after that — transcription, themes, chapter plan and editorial work — happens inside the same book.

Connecting your feed doesn't drag your whole archive in. Your Book Pro reads the feed, lists your episodes with their dates and durations, and you choose which ones to bring across. On Plus, each hour of episode audio is transcribed for 250 credits, charged pro rata by length, so a half-hour episode costs half as much; on Pro, episodes come out of your included allowance instead.

Turn audio recordings into a book

How many episodes should you bring?

You almost certainly have more material than you need. A book is not a back catalogue, and uploading two hundred episodes would bury your themes rather than reveal them.

Most podcast books are hiding in ten to fifteen episodes. Start with the ones listeners still email you about, the ones you find yourself referring back to, and any where you explained your central idea properly rather than in passing. If the chapter plan comes back thin, add more.

Thirty episodes is more than most books need.

What that looks like in practice

Say you've talked about starting over three times across four years — once in an interview, once in a solo episode, once answering a listener question. Your Book Pro groups those as a single theme, shows you the timestamps behind it, and proposes it as a chapter with a job to do in the book: the turning point that sets up everything after it.

It also tells you what's missing. Usually an ending, because podcasts rarely conclude.

What Your Book Pro adds

More than a transcript of your episodes

Spoken material is rich, but it is not yet a book. These are the tools that close the gap.

Go beyond transcription

A transcript is not a book. Your Book Pro helps transform spoken content into themes, chapters and a real manuscript.

Find the strongest ideas

Surface recurring messages, stories, frameworks and insights across multiple episodes.

Build a book from an archive

Work with one episode, a short series or a large back catalogue without assuming one episode equals one chapter.

Add editorial help

Ask the Editor questions about structure, pace, clarity, gaps and what the book still needs.

Use Beta Readers and Proof Read

Test how the manuscript lands with readers, then clean up the writing before publication.

Keep track of source material

Preserve provenance from recordings to manuscript so the book stays grounded in the original spoken material.

What about your guests?

If your show features interviews or a co-host, Your Book Pro asks who spoke on each recording before anything is quoted. There's no automatic speaker detection — you name the speakers yourself and record what each contributor has agreed to: direct quotation, paraphrase, or nothing at all. That permission travels with the contributor through the whole workflow, and the readiness check flags anything unresolved before you publish.

Your Book Pro doesn't give legal advice, and clearing permissions remains your responsibility. What it does is make sure you're never quoting someone without having said, on the record, that you can.

What you end up with

Not a pile of transcripts. A structured book project: recurring themes gathered across episodes rather than one episode per chapter, a numbered chapter plan you can challenge, source-backed material ready to turn into manuscript, and a clear list of what the book still needs.

  • Key messages and frameworks grouped across your back catalogue
  • A chapter structure designed as a book, not a rebroadcast
  • Named gaps: arguments, examples and endings still needed
  • Source-backed material you can add verbatim, draft from, or keep in Plan
  • Provenance preserved back to the original episode
