Web research before writing
The subject is documented before the first line, for sharper facts and angles.
A convincing book stands on up-to-date facts. By ticking web research at launch, the subject is documented before writing: the angle, the outline and the chapters draw on what is actually said and searched, rather than on the model's memory alone.
How it goes
Tick the option at launch
Web research is chosen when ordering the book, and its surcharge appears immediately in the estimate, before anything is charged.
The subject gets documented
Before the first line, the subject and its market are explored on the web: what is being said, what is being searched, what changed recently.
The writing draws on it
The angle, the outline and the chapters are written with that documentation in sight: the examples date from today, not from two years ago.
What this feature does
Facts rather than recollections
Without research, the writing stands on the model's memory, which has a date. With it, the book stands on what is being said now.
The surcharge displayed before launch
The price of the research depends on the chosen writing tier and is added to the estimate, in plain sight, before launch.
The right reflex for moving subjects
Figures, platforms, rules of the game: on subjects that move, upfront documentation makes the difference between an accurate book and a dated one.
Optional, never imposed
Research is a checkbox. On a timeless subject, leave it aside and keep its cost.
Three situations where it helps
Figures that date from today
Romain writes a guide about creator income. With web research, the orders of magnitude quoted in his chapters come from recent sources, not from stale recollections.
A fast-moving subject
Léa prepares a book about selling on social networks, a field that shifts every six months. The upfront documentation avoids delivering advice that is already out of date.
A market to map out
Antoine launches a book on a niche he barely knows yet. The research reveals what readers actually look for, and the book's angle lands better for it.
Who it helps
Common questions
How much does web research cost?
Its surcharge depends on the chosen writing tier and shows in the estimate before launch. Nothing is charged without you seeing it first.
When should I enable it?
Whenever the subject moves: figures, platforms, regulations, trends. On a timeless subject, the version without research is often enough.
What does it actually change?
The angle, the outline and the chapters are written with fresh documentation in sight: the facts and examples date from the moment the book is written.
Is it mandatory?
No, it is an option, unticked by default. You choose it book by book, at launch.
