Choose a template, add interactive content and publish your work. Then watch your Multi-Touch books bring every subject to life for every student.
Whether you’re creating an entire lab manual or just a unit to support a lesson, here are some simple steps to start making your materials more engaging using the free iBooks Author app for Mac.
Organise ideas.
A great way to get started with iBooks Author is to look at the materials you’re already using — worksheets, presentations, photos and more — and organise them into chapter or section folders on your desktop.
Beautiful design.
Next, choose from a variety of built-in templates with predefined layouts to make your project look professional from the start. When you have a lot of media along with your text, choose a landscape layout and enable the portrait view to give two experiences in one.
Drag-and-drop simplicity.
Drag and drop content from Pages or Microsoft Word documents directly into iBooks Author — all the formatting for headings, outline levels, paragraph structure and styles are automatically recognised. Next you’ll be ready to add interactive elements.

When you’re ready to distribute your book, iBooks Author takes the guesswork out of publishing, so you can focus on getting the word out.

Get your book discovered in the iBooks Store by having a high-quality cover image (at least 72 dpi and 1400 pixels), an accurate description and short title, and screenshots taken directly from your iPad. And don’t forget to share the published link on your social media networks.

Get started with the iBooks Author Starter Kit — a step-by-step guide, plus all of the multi-media materials you need to get started.
