You can use Pages to save your book as an EPUB file, with cover art and formatting optimized for publishing on Apple Books.

Before you get started, here are a few things to keep in mind:

-   _iTunes Connect account:_ To publish on Apple Books, you first need to [set up an iTunes Connect account](https://itunesconnect.apple.com/WebObjects/iTunesConnect.woa/wa/bookSignup). iTunes Connect is a website that allows you to distribute and manage books on Apple Books. If you aren’t ready to distribute your book yet, you can also list it as a preorder if you want to start advertising it.
    
-   _Table of contents:_ Most books need to include a table of contents that readers can use to navigate. To set up a book so that Pages can create a table of contents, [apply paragraph styles](https://support.apple.com/en-mide/guide/pages-iphone/use-text-styles-tana9e5281c1/15.3/ios/1.0) to the headings or chapters in the book. When Pages generates the EPUB file, a table of contents is automatically created based on those paragraph styles. To check the table of contents, tap the page number at the bottom of the screen, then tap Table of Contents. See [Create a table of contents](https://support.apple.com/en-mide/guide/pages-iphone/table-of-contents-tan5b8c588d6/15.3/ios/1.0).
    
-   _International Standard Book Number (ISBN-13):_ You don’t need an ISBN-13 to publish to Apple Books, but if you have one, have it ready, as you can only enter it the first time you submit a book. If you’re self-publishing a book, you can apply for and obtain an ISBN from the [ISBN registration agency](https://www.isbn-international.org/) where you’re based.
    

Your book must be reviewed and approved before it’s available on Apple Books. You can check the status of the book in My Books on iTunes Connect.
