Submit your structure or manuscript
Bring the table of contents you want developed or the manuscript you want refined. Add sources, editorial goals, and illustration plans where relevant.
Create a work
Start with the material you can use.
Bring an outline, manuscript, authorized documents, blog posts, or recordings. ToC Works helps shape the material into one coherent draft.
Start here
Add your material.
You do not have to organize it first. Choose the kind of start that feels closest. ToC Works preserves what you provide and reviews the material before proposing a structure or edits.
Your private creator account
Sign in before you load the work.
Your account keeps the ToC or manuscript private, preserves the intake, and lets you return later from any device.

One place for the work.
Create from a ToC
Confirm the plan and price
Approve your structure and price, then continue directly to Stripe. Editing and assembly are priced from readable source text. Only pilot production requires operator review.
Receive a complete working draft
Review and edit the whole work, then export it as Word, EPUB, or PDF. Keep it private or publish it when you choose.
Refine a manuscript
Add the draft
Upload or paste the manuscript and preserve the original snapshot.
Choose editing depth
Choose a light, developmental, or substantive edit and name what must not change.
Approve the structure
Review the proposed organization before editorial work begins.
Assemble finished works
Add the collection
Provide authorized essays, posts, talks, letters, or other finished writing.
Review the proposed order
ToC Works identifies complete works, multipart sequences, images, and possible duplicates.
Approve text-locked assembly
Formatting and order may change; the prose does not unless you separately request editing.
From an idea to a table of contents
Explore first. Organize when the idea is ready.
You do not need to arrive with a polished outline. Work through questions and possibilities in ChatGPT until your central idea feels distinct and resolved. Then ask ChatGPT to organize that thinking into a book structure for ToC Works.
Prompt to try
“Organize the ideas we have developed into a book outline with chapters and claim-level sections. Preserve my central argument, show how the chapters build on it, flag unresolved questions, and format the result as a table of contents I can submit to ToC Works.”
Review the result, keep iterating, and bring it here when the sequence expresses the work you want to create.
View the recommended ToC structure
State one central proposition.
Every work opens by stating it, setting its boundaries, and previewing the argument.
Arrange the necessary moves.
Eight to twenty-four chapters is a useful starting range.
Write claim-level sections.
Specific claims and questions work better than broad topics.
Show objections and limits.
Mark what is known, inferred, speculative, or unresolved.
Map material to chapters.
Identify the sources and notes each chapter may use. Share them when production is arranged.

What you receive
A controlled working draft.
Outline projects receive generated prose for review. Manuscript projects preserve the original before editing. Assembly projects keep supplied prose, multipart sequence, and embedded images text-locked.
In every path, you approve the structure and decide whether the work is ever published.
Paid beta
Price the work after we know the scope.
Outline quotes reflect recognized sections and the selected writing model. Editing quotes cover bounded AI passes over your readable manuscript. Assembly quotes cover text volume and image markers without AI rewriting. You approve the plan and price, then pay directly in Stripe. Only pilot production requires operator review. Saving and assessing your material is free.
