Sidefold

Publish ebooks without turning your manuscript into a dead export.

Sidefold keeps your Google Doc at the center, creating web, PDF, and EPUB editions that can move forward together as the book changes.

Authoring workflowKeep writing where you write

Google Docs remains the source of truth for your manuscript.

Sidefold editionA publication, not a pile of files

Reader preview · Web book · PDF · EPUB

Publish today without freezing the book in time.

A correction, a new chapter, or a better explanation should not create a manual reformatting project across every edition.

From source to published edition.

One connected workflow keeps the manuscript, reading formats, and reader experience moving in the same direction.

One source of truth

Sync the manuscript again when the book changes instead of rebuilding from zero.
