+# Chapter One
+
+This is an example chapter of a Leanpub book. To start your book, simply replace the content of this file with your writing, and then go to your book page on Leanpub and click on the Preview tab to make a preview of your book.
+
+Briefly, to write a Leanpub book, you write a bunch of plain text files, all in the same folder as this file. These text files are written in a format called Markdown, which is a simple way of doing formatting that lets you focus on your writing.
+
+To learn more about how to write a Leanpub book, see our helpful [help page](http://leanpub.com/help). This page has lots of examples, as well as links to sample books and videos.
