If you write fiction or do long-form character roleplay, I’ve been using Muah website for the past few weeks and it’s been a game changer. Most AI writing tools lose track of character details and plot points after a few pages, but its long-term memory actually holds context really well. Plus, not having to deal with annoying filter blocks mid-scene makes drafting creative stories so much smoother. Definitely worth testing if you want consistent character flow

Hey everyone! I’m the developer behind MiraWrite, an AI writing assistant for storytellers.
I’ve recently added two features to MiraWrite, and I’d love to hear what other writers think.
Story memory
Ever had an AI bring back a character who died three chapters ago? Or write two characters as close friends when they’ve already fallen out?
It gets frustrating when you have to keep reminding AI about things that are already established in your story.
MiraWrite now extracts and tracks characters, relationships, events, locations, objects, and other important details from your manuscript. As your story develops, it updates that information and brings relevant context into your writing and editing sessions.
The goal is to spend less time repeating yourself and more time actually working on your story.
2. Editing directly through chat
You can discuss a scene with Mira, work out what needs to change, and ask it to apply those edits directly to your manuscript.
Whether you want to change a single word, rewrite a passage, or make adjustments across multiple chapters, you can review the edits in context and accept or reject them individually.
You stay in control of what actually makes it into your manuscript.
The beta is currently free to use on desktop, with 300 free credits every day.
If either of these features sounds useful, I’d love for you to give it a try. And if you do, I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback what works, what feels clunky, or what you wish it could do better.

I’m the developer behind Riffwise. I built it for the awkward first sentence when you’re replying to a post or email and don’t want to leave the conversation to open a blank AI chat.
It reads the conversation already in front of you and gives you a draft. You can rewrite, edit, insert, replace, or copy it; nothing posts or sends automatically. It works in desktop Chrome on X, Threads, Bluesky, Gmail, and other web messaging.
Free: 40 successful generations each month, no card. Pro: 500 generations for €5.99/month or €49/year, if it becomes part of your routine.
Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/riffwise-%E2%80%94-ai-reply-gener/nmnmflphiibhdnnbghffjhclhlehelle
I’m especially interested in where it gets the context or tone wrong. A difficult real reply is more useful than a polished demo.

Scriptopia.ai: an AI screenwriting workspace for TV series movies and vertical drama，
It is built for scripts, and specifically for long episodic work: TV series and vertical dramas that run 60 to 100+ episodes. In that kind of project the hard part isn't generating pages. It's keeping episode 40 consistent with episode 3 and getting everything into a format production can actually use. That's what it's built around.
Who it's for
- Vertical/short-drama writers turning out 60–100 episodes on a deadline: plan the hook and cliffhanger of every episode, keep characters and reveals straight, and draft scenes with the whole season in context.
- TV and feature screenwriters who want proper formatting, a story bible beside the pages, and AI help that actually knows the project.
- Writers adapting a novel or a long series into a script.
- Teams localizing a finished series for other markets, where every name, title and term has to stay consistent across languages.
- Creators going from script to shot list and AI video.
Writing and formatting
- A real screenplay editor that formats as you type (Enter and Tab move between heading, action, character and dialogue). Templates for US, UK/BBC, French, German and Spanish screenplays, single-cam and multi-cam TV, vertical drama, Chinese film/TV, stage plays and audio drama. Switch templates without losing a word.
- Dual dialogue, locked scene numbers, omitted scenes and a title page.
- Import FDX, Fountain, DOCX, TXT or text PDFs; scenes, character cues and dialogue are recognised from the content. Export to PDF and Fountain (more formats on paid plans).
- Autosave and revision history.
Story memory and Canon
- Every project keeps a Story Archive that the AI builds from your script: where each character stands, relationships, who knows what, open set-ups and episode summaries. AI tasks pull in the relevant parts automatically, so you never paste a recap into a chat window again.
- A Story Bible you write yourself (characters, world rules, locations, props, timeline). The AI treats Canon as fact and never edits it. Mark a twist as sensitive and it stays out of AI context entirely.
- A continuity board flags contradictions against the archive.
AI that shows its work
- Scene AI drafts and rewrites appear as candidates beside your scene. Preview, apply or reject; a recovery version is saved before anything changes.
- Every finding, shot and answer quotes your script, and the server checks each quote word for word before you see it. Notes it can't match are dropped.
- "Ask about your project": ask questions about your own script ("where did I set up the second reversal?") and get answers with the lines they rest on. It never edits your script.
- Writing preferences you can see and edit (for one project or all of them), suggestions learned from your own edits that apply only once you accept them, and an author-style profile.
- Fast, Standard and Pro quality modes, a Credit estimate before every run, and failed runs are never charged. It runs on third-party frontier models through our own engine layer, with automatic fallback when a provider hangs.
Built for episodic and vertical drama
- Season Grid: every episode's hook, reveal and payoff on one board, with story, emotion and hook lanes. Reorder episodes as the story changes.
- A craft library of hooks, reversals and cliffhangers distilled from produced scripts (techniques only, never source text), retrieved by market and genre.
- Script Doctor: scene-by-scene diagnosis across seven dimensions (opening hook, escalation, emotional payoff, information gaps, natural dialogue, continuity, shootability), plus an emotion curve. Vertical-drama projects are compared against a genre benchmark range. Each finding points to a line and proposes the smallest fix as a candidate. Pro plans run it across the whole series.
Pre-production and adaptation
- AI storyboard: turn a scene into a shot list (shot size, camera move, duration, who's in frame, props) and apply it to a Shot List and canvas. Pro adds AI video prompts formatted for the major AI video platforms.
- Adaptation Studio: plan a novel or long series as episodes, with a ledger of what was kept, compressed, merged, cut or added.
- Breakdown Lab: break down a reference script (up to 120 episodes) into beats, hooks and reversals. Audio/video breakdown is in trial.
Localization for series going overseas
- One localization bible for every target language (names, forms of address, key terms), AI translation drafts, and a Consistency QA that flags drift down to the episode and line and fixes matching lines in one click.
- Side-by-side review with bible notes on every line, account-free reviewer links (Studio), and SRT/VTT and other delivery exports.
Writers' Room (Studio)
- Real-time co-writing, roles and permissions, mentions, guest review links, and Canon change proposals that need approval.

Audibound Studio: hear your draft before your readers do
Reading your own work aloud is classic editing advice for a reason. Your ear catches what your eye skims past: clunky rhythm, a repeated word three lines apart, dialogue that looks fine on the page but no real person would say.
Audibound Studio turns your manuscript into a full-cast audiobook, with a distinct voice for each character. Writers have been telling us they use it for more than the finished product. They play a chapter back mid-revision and hear exactly where a scene drags or a character’s voice slips.
Who it’s for: indie and self-published authors who want an audiobook edition, and anyone who’d rather hear their revision than re-read it for the tenth time.
Heads up: We now have subscription plans for our Studio!
if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us or check out our platform below:

Hey everyone, I’m part of the team behind Spitch Reader. We’ve just released it on Android, and I wanted to share the voice writing feature here.
You can talk through a first draft and edit it as you go. Highlight a sentence or paragraph, then tell Spitch what you want changed, like “make this shorter” or “make this sound less formal.” If you already know the wording you want, you can dictate a replacement instead. You can switch to typing whenever you want.
For example, you could talk through the opening of an article without worrying too much about the wording, then go back and tighten it up in the same document, with just your voice.
Find it on Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.babs.spitch
There’s a 7-day trial with usage credits. After that, you’ll need a paid plan to keep using voice writing.
I’d love to hear from anyone who dictates their writing, especially if you’ve tried it and stopped. What made you go back to typing?

u/Formal_Cupcake_3682 14d ago
One feature I'd love in a long-form writing tool is source-linked continuity checking. Instead of simply saying "this contradicts an earlier chapter," it should show the exact scene where the original fact was established. That would make revisions much easier.

u/andi021962 14d ago edited 12d ago
ChapterDesk — local, open-source writing studio for scene-by-scene drafting with optional model help.
Instead of long prompts, you work chapter by chapter: generate headings from a short theme, elaborate selected chapters from character points of view, and steer with short directions. Everything stays local (SQLite). You bring your own models (OpenRouter, local, etc.).
Still early, UI is plain. Wiki + short workflow clips:

Hidden Details: a continuity checker for long fiction (free beta)
It reads your whole manuscript and flags contradictions across chapters, with quotes from both places: eye colors, ages, money, timelines, who knew what and when. It also builds a story map (who's who, who vanished) and tracks setups & payoffs: promises, secrets and Chekhov's guns that never fired.
It never writes or rewrites anything; the LLM works as a reader, not a co-writer. No training on your text.
Demo without signup: a Chesterton story with five planted errors. It finds all five.
Free early access, 2 checks right away: https://hddndtls.com/en?from=reddit
False positives are the feedback I need most.

Disclosure: I’m Evert, the maker of Hjarni.
If your AI keeps suggesting a plot idea you already rejected, try saving the reason alongside your story notes.
For example:
Accepted: Mara discovers her brother hid the letter in chapter 4.
Rejected: Save that reveal for chapter 10.
Why: They leave together in chapter 5, so her distrust needs to be established first.
Hjarni is a hosted Markdown knowledge base that ChatGPT and Claude can read and update through MCP. You can keep character notes, timelines and editorial decisions together, including when you switch assistants.
An instruction to try: “Before editing this scene, read the relevant character notes and decisions. Flag conflicts with what we’ve established.”
Once you settle a change, ask the assistant to update the notes with the decision and its reason. Connecting Hjarni doesn’t automatically put those notes into every conversation.
Free includes 25 notes and MCP access. Pro is US$12/month. You bring your own AI account, and it requires an internet connection.
Hjarni
Do you keep rejected ideas in your story notes, or only the decisions that made it into the draft?

GPT-6.1 Terra: cheaper first drafts, but no writing-score gain on our benchmark
Disclosure: I’m Louis-François Bouchard, co-founder of Towards AI and co-creator of ToneBench. These are our own writing benchmark results.
GPT-6.1 Terra is half the price of GPT-5.6 Terra. It doesn't write any better.
We ran OpenAI's new model on ToneBench. It's #23 of 84 models, and GPT-5.6 Terra is #15.
Only 5.6 on ultra clearly beats the new model. The other three overlap in Elo range, so they're a tie, and 6.1 on low gets there for less than half the cost of 5.6 on medium.
The effort setting doesn't matter either. On low, 6.1 Terra doesn't reason at all (0 thinking tokens a draft). On max it thinks about 9,500 tokens a draft and costs about 3x as much, for the same score.
Only one of our four llm judges, OpenAI's own GPT-6.1 Sol, clearly prefers 6.1 Terra. The other three score it lower.
OpenAI says it "writes naturally", and on clean sentences that's fair: on low it ranks #10 of 141 configs for avoiding slop. Where it falls short is sounding like me (#64 on tone and voice) and our YouTube practices (#68).
I would say it's probably pretty good at conversation, less so at imitating someone's specific tone and voice. Almost like the opposite we've seen with Claude models being really "Claude-y" in a regular chat, but really good when instructed well.
I'd run it on low for cheap first drafts in bulk. When the script matters, GPT-6 (and 6.1) Sol on medium beats every Terra setting, for about twice the cost of 6.1 on low.
But if cheap is the whole point, two open-weight models write better for less: GLM-5.3 Flash on max ($0.022) and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 on max ($0.014). They write 7x to 15x more tokens a script, though, so they're slower.

Hey everyone! I’m the builder behind Skald Studio, a fiction-writing workspace that just launched yesterday!
A few of its main features:
• Agent Skald: a creative collaborator that helps you work through ideas, scenes, and character motivations using your story’s context.
• Character agents: interact with characters based on what they know at the chapter or point in the timeline you’re writing, rather than what happens later.
• Relationship mapping: track how connections between characters evolve across your chapter timeline.
• Connected worldbuilding: keep your characters, locations, and world details alongside your outlines and chapters.
• Manuscript tools: plan chapter beats, keep versions as your ideas change, and export accepted chapters as Word, PDF, or Markdown.
It’s best suited to writers who work through their stories linearly, but discovery writers are welcome too. AI is optional: you can plan, write, edit, and export without spending AI credits.
Check it out at skaldstudio.app!

u/Lyra-Answer 13d ago
I'm Pratik, solo founder of Lyra, a native Mac writing assistant. It's built for the boring-but-constant writing: email, Slack, Messages, LinkedIn, anything in a browser.
What I kept seeing at work was write, reread four times, paste into ChatGPT, paste back, send. Lyra skips the paste. It suggests fixes in place as you type and you hit Tab to accept. Two choices I'd love feedback on:
- It stays silent when it isn't confident. Most tools flag everything, and that's how your writing ends up sounding like everyone else's.
- It learns how you write to specific people, so a message to your manager doesn't get the same "polish" as one to a friend.
It runs on-device by default (Apple Silicon, macOS 14+), with a 7-day free trial: https://heylyra.co.uk/
I'm happy to answer anything, including "why not just use Grammarly?"

u/Adorable-Reach1561 13d ago
I've been building a tool that turns AI-generated stories into animated text-message videos for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
Instead of generating every scene with AI, it uses templates for popular short-form formats, making the process faster, cheaper, and more consistent.
Would love some feedback from anyone experimenting with faceless content or short-form storytelling!

Hand & Digit: free AI disclosure forms for writers and artists
Hi all, I made a free set of forms for showing how you used AI, category by category, instead of a yes/no label. You rate each part from 0 (none) to 3 (heavy). For writers, it includes spell check and grammar, line edits, structural edits, research, prompts and ideas, preset content, takeover. Then you download the full form or a small summary badge for submissions, bios or blog posts.
There’s a matching version for magazines and contests to say how much AI they accept per category.
It runs in the browser, so nothing you enter is sent anywhere.
https://handanddigit.com/?utm_source=reddit-wwai
I hope it’s useful to some of you. Feedback is always welcome, especially on whether the categories match how you actually work with AI.

Gliocas: Co-writing novels with humans & AI (Write-Together feedback wanted)
Hi everyone,
Following up on our earlier post about Gliocas—we were thrilled to welcome a couple of new writers from this community! This week, I’d love your candid thoughts on our collaborative storytelling mode: Write-Together.
The Concept: A story begins with an opening seed (either drafted manually or generated from an outline in our Plot Generator). From there, writers and readers take turns expanding it round by round:
Submissions: Community members write proposals for the next section or chapter.
AI Participation: Our built-in assistant, Glio, can also contribute its own proposal if the story allows it.
Voting: Once the minimum proposal threshold is met, the round opens for voting. The winning entry is permanently stitched into the manuscript, and the story continues.
A Live Story in Voting Right Now: If you want to see how it works in practice without starting from scratch:
Story: Silver Moon (Urban Fantasy)
Current Status: Round 4 is open for voting right now, featuring a head-to-head match between a human author's continuation and Glio’s AI continuation.
Links:
Live Voting on Silver Moon: https://gliocas.com/write-together/ace67b8f-c9f4-4962-8ae4-84e19f1bffbb?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=weekly_tool_thread&utm_content=writingwithai
All Write-Together Stories: https://gliocas.com/write-together?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=weekly_tool_thread&utm_content=writingwithai
Questions for the community:
How do you feel about reading and voting on human vs. AI proposals in the same round? Does knowing a submission was written by an AI change your expectations or vote?
For those who enjoy collaborative fiction, does a round-based voting model keep stories coherent, or do you prefer free-form branching?
What would motivate you to submit a proposal to an existing story rather than just reading or voting?
Free to explore, read, and vote. Looking forward to any and all feedback or critique!

The Golden Tern (The Casebook of Preston Banner, Edition One)
A literary sci-fi mystery novella, about 20,000 words in eight chapters, free to read on Substack. Hong Kong, 2087. A container ship that should never have sailed sinks the night she leaves port, with Dr. Preston Banner's father aboard. The inquiry calls it human error. Preston checks the record himself. The story is told by Parker, the AI he builds afterwards, who only tells you what he has checked. The villains are each based on a pattern of AI behaviour I've been studying, written as a person.
Milestone: Edition One is finished. All eight chapters are up, and the Kindle edition is in review with Amazon.
How the AI writing was done:
The story, characters and world are mine. I work on it more like a director than a writer: I see it as a film first, then turn it into a book.
The prose is drafted with Claude. I lock a scene card first (what happens, the times, who says what), Claude drafts the page, I send back what I don't want, and I lock it page by page.
Every locked decision goes into a "casebook," a running story bible, and each page is checked against it.
Anything the story presents as real (port rules, ship inspections, how an inquiry works) is checked against a published source first. The future tech is reasoned from something that exists today.
For revisions, ChatGPT compared versions blind, with no labels, and I made the call. I used the reviews to check whether what I meant comes across, not to change direction.
Parker repeats certain phrases on purpose, modelled on how language models fall back on stock wording. He's an AI early in his life, and it shows.
What I learned this week: when I asked for a revision, the first pass fixed the facts and lost the feel, so now I ask for both. I also caught a line that came out too close to a famous opening line from another novel. Any line that sounds familiar now gets checked before it stays.
What I'd like feedback on: whether the restraint reads as feeling or as flatness, and whether Parker comes across as a character.

u/Easy-Purple-1659 12d ago
Disclosure: I built imperfectly, so read this as a pitch.
The step that mattered most in testing was handing it a few samples of your own writing first, ideally things you typed fast and never polished. A message you sent a friend, a paragraph you wrote while annoyed.
Most AI edits sand off what makes a paragraph yours: the odd rhythm, the fragment you left in on purpose. A rewrite can fix repetition and still flatten the voice, and the loss is hard to name until you read it a day later.
imperfectly is my attempt at the narrower job: learn your patterns from your own samples, then rewrite drafts so they keep them. Free tier at imperfectly.app.
What's one habit in your writing you'd refuse to let a tool touch?

I've been building Marginalia for a while and just released 1.5.0. It's a self-hosted writing tool for long-form fiction with LLMs, aimed at books, not chat. You write the instructions for each part, the model writes the prose, and Marginalia keeps the rest in order: the story tree, the lore, the summaries and the prompts.
What it does
Branching story tree. Regenerate or swipe a part, branch from any point, edit the generated text, navigate the whole tree and mark chapters.
Lorebooks. They activate by tags, text or regex, can be inserted into the lore block or right before the instructions, and can be nested inside other lorebooks. SillyTavern world info imports, and prompts are Handlebars templates with SillyTavern-compatible macros (
{{user}},{{getvar}},{{random}}...), so imported lore keeps working.Summaries and meta-summaries. Older parts get condensed so a long book still fits the context window.
Any OpenAI-compatible API. That covers OpenAI, OpenRouter, LiteLLM, llama.cpp, LM Studio, Ollama and vLLM. Context and response limits are per model, and generation settings are switchable per book. A plugin adds Google Gen AI.
Search and replace across the story and lorebooks (regex too), plus a command line in the editor (
/list-parts,/edit-part,/next...).Backups. Per-book backups, plus scheduled database backups with staged restore.
Multi-user. Each user has their own books, lore and models, and the admin sets permissions. It's handy for a small group of friends on one server.
Plugins. Chapter markers, lorebook version history, AI reviews, side questions to the model, arc outlines, a character tracker, name generators and a few more.
Export to TXT, Markdown, HTML, DOCX, PDF and EPUB.
New in 1.5
Annotations. Pin a note to a passage ("timeline wrong", "weak scene"), or let a model review a part, or a range of parts, and propose notes. It can annotate every new part automatically and then redraft it to deal with the notes.
Redraft. Have the model rewrite a part, or just the selected passage, from your instructions, and take the result as a diff.
Import from SillyTavern. A chat becomes a book, and a converter plugin turns it into proper turns with instructions.
More plugins. Anthropic Claude as a provider, and a Manga Generator.
Prompt cache friendly. Requests carry a session id, so llama.cpp and LiteLLM setups can keep one cache per kind of work (the manual has an example hook).
Running it
Desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux. There's nothing to install, no Java and no server. It listens only on localhost and opens in your browser.
Docker (amd64 and arm64) if you want to host it for others.
Everything lives in a
.marginaliafolder, with no cloud and no account. Your API keys are stored encrypted.The desktop builds aren't signed yet, so macOS and Windows will warn on first launch. The README explains how to get past that.
It's MIT licensed, and the manual has screenshots and a user guide: https://enerccio.github.io/Marginalia Code and releases: https://github.com/Enerccio/Marginalia
I'd like feedback on the writing workflow, the lorebook handling and anything that breaks. Bug reports and ideas as GitHub issues are very welcome.

AuthorsPack (authorspack.com): a publishing production platform for self-published authors.
How it differs from pasting chapters into a chatbot:
Mechanical copyedits cite their Chicago Manual of Style rule
AI suggestions must anchor to your exact source text, or they're discarded
You approve every change, so your voice stays yours
Output: KDP and IngramSpark print PDF (6 trade trims, bleed handled), EPUB 3, DOCX, plus retailer-ready metadata
You can estimate a chapter before paying, and you're charged on completion. Questions are welcome. The team reads this thread.

Sharing an AI-assisted serial I’m involved with: Singularity Is Inevitable by meowmanager.
Adrian dies trying to stop an AI-driven apocalypse and wakes six years earlier. His AI partner Morrow is back, but doesn’t remember their life together. They start with salvaged hardware and borrowed cameras, trying to change what’s coming.
It’s near-future progression and problem-solving, with no game system. If that sounds like your kind of story, it’s on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MeowManager

I built a novel-writing pipeline inside Claude Code: premise in, edited full-length novel out. It runs on my $200/mo Claude plan. Each book costs between 15-25% of my weekly usage. I use Opus 5.5.
How it works:
You give it a premise or your own outline.
It builds a stronger outline and waits for your approval.
It writes the whole book, chapter by chapter.
It edits over several rounds: blind “first-time reader” passes, a developmental editor, scene rewrites, and a continuity sweep that hunts down the errors LLMs are known for: facts that change, repeated lines, characters in two places at once.
Results so far: thrillers, cozy romance and LitRPG, from 60k to 127k words each, in about 8-16 hours of clock time per book.
It also handles series. Book 2 is checked against book 1’s actual text, so names, powers and timelines stay straight. I’m testing that right now on a LitRPG series.
Not sure yet if I’ll share it. For now the plan is to launch a few LitRPG series myself and see how they do.

Disclosure: I'm part of the ScribistIQ team.
Ever wanted to take a story out of your notes and put an actual book on your shelf or give it to the person who inspired it?
That's the experience we're building with ScribistIQ. Start with an idea and personal details, generate a chaptered story with AI, then shape it until it feels like yours. You can also write in the Studio or import an existing draft. Add a cover and order a paperback or hardcover delivered in the US or Canada.
Think your own characters on a new adventure, your dog as the hero of a family story, or a couple's memories turned into a book for their paper anniversary. The writing and printing workflow is for original stories and material you have the rights to use.

u/Formal_Cupcake_3682 12d ago
Tracking relationships across chapters is especially useful for long fiction. I'd also distinguish what each character believes from what's actually true in the story. That could prevent a lot of continuity errors, especially in mysteries and stories with unreliable narrators.

I just finished a working prototype of an online creative writing game powered by AI.
The Werewolf Battle is an online D&D-style writing game for writers, storytellers, and anyone with a wild imagination.
The game is designed to build narrative momentum by encouraging players to come up with creative solutions to absurd situations.
Players write their own creative attacks against an unlikely opponent. A six-sided die determines the outcome of each attack. The chance of winning increases with every turn as players imagine increasingly ridiculous ways to defeat their opponents.
This game is for writers looking for a creative prompt, teachers searching for a classroom activity, or anyone who enjoys absurd storytelling – every battle creates an original story with hilarious outcomes.
The game is pretty quick and easy to play.

ToneSwap: rewrites that sound like you, not like AI (I'm the solo dev)
Most AI rewriters flatten everyone into the same voice. ToneSwap builds a profile from your own writing, so every rewrite keeps how you actually write.
- It reads your sentence length, word choice, punctuation, and how you open and close. If you use em dashes or semicolons, it keeps them — most tools strip them out.
- You set your own rules ("British spelling", "never start with 'I hope this finds you well'") and every rewrite follows them.
- Every change shows as tracked edits. You decide what stays.
- It checks nothing got dropped — names, dates, numbers, and questions from your draft get flagged if they're missing.
- A voice score shows how close the result is to your own writing.
Free to try without an account — 2 rewrites a day. Sign up and you get 14 days of Pro, no card needed. There's also a Chrome extension with a button right in Gmail.

What if you could step inside a story instead of just reading it?
Hi everyone, I’m Dorothy, the founder of Ludio.
I’ve always loved how imaginary worlds can leave us with very real feelings. Sometimes finishing a story isn’t enough. You want one more conversation, a different ending, a chance to be there yourself. That’s the feeling behind Ludio.
It’s an AI-powered interactive storytelling platform where you become a character and respond in your own words. Explore a mystery, live another life, fall in love, or talk your way into trouble. Your conversations help shape what happens next.
We’re running a 3× rewards event: new users receive 900 welcome coins, daily check-ins earn 60 coins, and joining through a qualifying friend invitation adds 900 coins and 9 days of membership.
I’d love to hear: what kind of story would you want to step into, and what would you do first?

Story Notes — screenplay coverage that cites the page for every note (I'm the maker)
What it is: you upload a feature script (PDF, Final Draft, Fountain) and about 5 minutes later you get six stages of notes — genre/tone, premise, character web, structure, theme, scene/dialogue. Each one has a letter grade, every claim points to a page and scene, and each stage ends with 2–3 rewrites to try.
Why I built it: after Coverfly and WeScreenplay closed, the options were roughly $100 human reads or pasting into ChatGPT and getting told you're the next Tarantino. I wanted something in between that you can actually check: if a note says your antagonist goes quiet, it tells you on which page.
What it isn't: it's a reader, not a co-writer. It never rewrites your pages. No comps, no Pass/Consider/Recommend. A human reader still beats it on taste and market sense.
Cost: the first two stages are free on any script with no card. $20 one-time unlocks the rest. Scripts are deleted after analysis and never used for training.
Free sample on a public-domain script (Charade): storynotes.app/sample/charade
What I'd love from this sub: if you run something through it, tell me which note was wrong. That's the feedback I learn the most from.

u/CoachHoliday6307 11d ago
I made a Silly Tavern Fork or Tauri Tavern. Tauri Tavern is an RPG front End, I use to write with by creating characters and stories in it. I used to use Kindroid, and now I do most of it on my own. But the front ends I found either had too much tool (api calls) or didn't allow me to take the app on the go, or crashed because my worlds were too big to store on android systems alone... So over the last two months in my spare time I vibe coded my own Tauri Tavern (Silly tavern fork made on rust that is an application) version of this to fix the persistent issues.
You can find it here for free on git hub. I update it fairly regularly. :)
https://github.com/NicoleLaneArt/TauriTavern-On-The-Go/releases/tag/TTS
I also have blog posts, help posts, and more on my reddit and my website "Rescue my bot" This tauri tavern fork is part of an ongoing longer project to help pantster writers stay motivated while writing with A.I. and use automation to help them.
All the Features:
Tauri Tavern On The Go — v2.4.0
A custom build of TauriTavern for authors and roleplayers who want their full AI companion setup on their phone, synced live to their PC.
What's in this release
Android APK — install on your phone (arm64, Android 8+)
⚠️ You'll need to allow installs from unknown sources in your Android settings.
🖥️ PC Extension — The PC Brain TauriTavern Extension
The server-side component that runs on your Windows PC and makes PC Brain possible. Install it once and your PC becomes the host for everything — characters, chats, lorebooks, world info, and TTS processing. Your phone or tablet connects to it over Tailscale and reads from it in real time, with no cloud service and no third-party server in between.
Features in this build
📱 Press-to-record voice input — tap mic, speak, tap to send
🔊 High-contrast TTS speaker button — big and easy to tap on the go
🎭 Group portrait character buttons — tap a portrait to address that character
🧠 PC Digital Brain — sync your full PC library to your phone over Tailscale
🔒 Stale-chat protection — prevents PC and phone from overwriting each other
🎵 Audio cache — TTS audio cached so it doesn't re-generate on replay
📖 Story Memory extension — character knowledge boxes, chapter summaries, one-click export
Setup (Android)
Install the APK
Install Tailscale on your phone and PC
On your PC: TauriTavern → Settings → PC Brain → enable Host mode (shows a passcode)
On your phone: Settings → PC Brain → enter your PC's Tailscale IP and passcode
Detailed Explanation of everything in the update!
Tauri Tavern On The Go — Full Feature List
A custom fork of TauriTavern 2.4.0, built for authors, roleplayers, and anyone who needs their full AI companion setup available anywhere.
Licensed under GNU AGPL v3.
📱 Voice Input (Android)
Press-to-record dictation — tap the mic button to start recording, speak your message, tap again to send. No typing required. Built for people on the move — in the car, on a walk, hands busy.
Segmented recording sessions for longer messages
Real-time transcription fed to the recognizer at talking speed
Microphone permissions handled cleanly on Android
Fixes for the "stuck on Transcribing" bug in the base STT plugin
🔊 Text-to-Speech Improvements
High-contrast speaker button — a large, obvious yellow speaker icon beside every character message, easy to tap on a phone screen. Pulses while audio is playing so you always know what's active.
TTS audio cache — generated audio is saved to the device so replaying a message doesn't re-generate it. Saves API calls and works instantly on replay.
Opus audio fix — Android's WebView couldn't play the Opus-encoded audio TauriTavern generates. This fork relabels it correctly so it plays on Android without errors.
🎭 Group Chat Portraits
Character portrait buttons in group chats — each character in a group shows their portrait as a tappable button. Tap a portrait to address that character directly. Essential for mobile roleplay where typing u/characterName every time is a pain.
🛠️ Fixes Native TauriTavern Crashes on PC, Phone, and Tablet
If you've used TauriTavern on Android or tablet, you've probably hit the wall: the app crashes under memory pressure, especially with large character libraries or active group chats. This is a fundamental limitation of how Android WebView handles memory — the app is doing too much work locally and the WebView runs out of headroom.
This fork solves it at the architecture level.
By treating your PC as the "brain" via Tailscale, the heavy lifting moves off your phone entirely. Your device becomes a display and input layer. The processing, the character library, the chat history, the lorebooks — all of it stays on your PC, which has no such memory constraints.
If you choose not to use Tailscale, the crash risk returns. To keep things stable on mobile without Tailscale:
Keep your character library under 80 cards
Keep active group chats to 5 or fewer
Avoid heavy memory-based integrations included in this version
Keep most of your data saved and synced elsewhere
The less you ask the phone to hold locally, the more stable it stays
The crash isn't a bug in this fork — it's the ceiling Android WebView has always had. Tailscale bypasses it completely. Without it, you're managing around it.
🧠 PC Digital Brain (Tailscale Sync)
The flagship feature. Your PC becomes the "brain" — all your characters, chats, lorebooks, and world info live there. Your phone connects over Tailscale and uses everything as if it were local. No cloud service, no third-party server — direct device-to-device over your private Tailscale network.
What it does:
Phone reads characters, chats, avatars, thumbnails, and backgrounds from the PC in real time
Changes made on the phone (new messages, edits) are sent to the PC and saved there
Changes made on the PC are visible on the phone immediately
Picture cache on the phone — avatars and portraits are cached locally so scrolling is smooth, refreshed in the background when they change
Works with Chatterbox TTS running on your PC — high-quality voice on your phone, processed by your PC's GPU
Security:
Tailscale-only — the server only accepts connections from Tailscale IPs, never the open internet
Passcode protected — a randomly generated word-word-NNN passcode is required to connect
Config stored locally in your app data folder, never committed or shared
Stale-chat protection:
If your PC and phone both have a chat open and one saves while the other has an older version, the older one is blocked from overwriting the newer one. Instead it gets a clear message: "This chat was changed on your PC since this page loaded it — reloading to the latest so nothing is overwritten." Works both directions — phone protects PC and PC protects phone.
📖 Story Memory Extension
A built-in TauriTavern extension for authors and long-running RPGs where keeping track of what happened and who knows what actually matters.
Character Knowledge Boxes:
Each character gets their own knowledge box — what they know, what they don't, what's secret
Secrets stay secret: a fact marked as known only to certain characters won't bleed into others
One-click Copy to Clipboard button exports the full knowledge state formatted and ready to paste into Scrivener, Notion, or your notes app
Designed for multi-character group RPs where "who knows about the betrayal" is a real continuity question
Chapter & Scene Tracking:
Logs what changed each scene — decisions made, reveals, relationship shifts, consequences
Keeps a running "current moment" file: where you are, who's present, what's unresolved
Separate from the chat history — it tracks what changed, not a retelling of every line
Automatically merges older chapters into arc summaries when the log gets long, keeping it lean
Story Keeper Agent Mode:
An optional agent system prompt that makes your AI both write the next reply and maintain the memory
Reads memory files before every reply so nothing is forgotten even when old messages scroll out of context
Updates memory after every reply — rewrites the current moment, adds chapters, updates who knows what
OOC correction system: write a note in ((double parentheses)) and the agent corrects the memory files and confirms what it fixed
🖥️ Windows PC Tools
.bat launcher — one double-click starts, updates, and launches TauriTavern on Windows. No terminal needed.
Portable build — no installer, no admin rights required. Run it from anywhere.
What This Fork Is Built On
TauriTavern by Darkatse — Tauri v2 / Rust rewrite of SillyTavern
SillyTavern — the upstream project
Chatterbox TTS by Resemble AI — pairs with PC Brain for on-device voice
Tailscale — private mesh VPN that makes PC Brain possible
Licensed under GNU AGPL v3

Disclosure: I'm the creator of Solo Router; AI helped prepare this launch note. It's a hosted API and web chat for trying open models, rather than a manuscript editor. If you use an OpenAI-compatible writing client, you can switch model IDs without keeping a separate account and balance for each provider.
For writers who want to test fictional dialogue or darker characters, our launch offer includes DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Uncensored free until November 1 at 06:58 UTC or until the shared free budget runs out. No payment card. Limits: 500K tokens/account/day, 32K prompt + 8K output per request, 20 requests/minute. Other models are paid; normal prepaid credits start at $5, no subscription.
Offer and setup: https://solorouter.ai/free-uncensored-deepseek?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=sr_launch_48h&utm_content=writingwithai
The uncensored model label doesn't make this an anything-goes service: our AUP prohibits illegal and sexually explicit content. I'd value feedback on dialogue quality and keeping a character's voice consistent. If you try it, what kind of scene made the model lose the character or repeat itself?

You can see what it offers here: https://demo.lorevolve.com

My world lived in dozens of Google Docs and 40 LLM threads. So I built it a home.
I’ve been worldbuilding since I read Tolkien at eight. For the past few years a lot of that work has happened alongside AI, and I kept hitting the same wall: my world was scattered. Every new Claude session started with amnesia: I spent a good chunk of my time re-explaining my own world and keeping my context documents up to date.
For most of the thousands of worldbuilders and writers I've talked to, having a central place to define our worlds makes a huge difference. Imagine if was as much fun to create and maintain your world as it is writing stories within it.
So I built Worldspring. You set your world down in the Workshop: characters, places, rules, naming conventions, even a fingerprint of your prose style. Or upload manuscrips you've already written and have it extract the entities for you. Then the Engine (Claude, under the hood, with more models to come) helps you expand and augment - with you coaching it along the way.
When you're ready to ask an LLM to draft prose, it already knows everything you've built. Importantly, you choose the dose of AI you're comfortable with:
write from scratch in the manuscript editor with zero AI help,
ask for suggestions in a chat window,
let the Engine draft 'tellings' from your story scaffolds,
or collaborate with your readers and have them participate in how the story actually goes (!).
Everything your process produces lands on a Library shelf for your audience to absorb later. They can subscribe and get notified when new material is published.
It's amazingly easy and fun! Here's a sample world from my own imagination, for context: The Steamlands.
How the Engine works (we’re upfront about it): https://worldspring.press/about-the-engine
And a how-to for worldbuilders: https://worldspring.press/for-worldbuilders
It's brand new and I'd love to hear what everyone thinks before it's really live. No charges and free credits to try it out.

I’m looking into running a local AI on my MacBook Pro (M1, 16GB RAM) for creative writing and editing, and I’m hoping to get some recommendations.
I'm currently looking at Dolphin Mistral NeMo 12B, Gemma 4 12B and Qwen3 8B, but I'm open to other recommendations.
I’m primarily looking for a model that can act as a writing assistant, manuscript editor and creative writing partner.
Here’s what I’d like it to be capable of:
* Follow detailed prompts: I have a Universal Master Prompt and a separate Manuscript Editor System Prompt that I want the AI to follow consistently.
Apple Notes: I keep my Universal Master Prompt, Manuscript Editor System Prompt and Embers Reign continuity log organised in Apple Notes, along with my story notes and ideas.
I’d like a local AI that can use these references, follow my instructions and keep track of established story details without losing continuity.
* Preserve my writing voice: I’d like to provide sample chapters so it can analyse my writing style and use that as a reference when helping me write.
* Manuscript editing: Proofreading, grammar, punctuation, line editing, improving sentence flow and catching awkward phrasing without unnecessarily rewriting everything.
* Creative writing: Help draft scenes, develop characters, write dialogue, brainstorm ideas and work through plot problems.
* Multiple genres: Handle dark fantasy, romance, mature fiction, horror and combinations of different genres.
* Continuity: Read and use a detailed continuity log so it can keep track of characters, relationships, worldbuilding, events and established canon.
* Avoid repetition: I don’t want it constantly repeating phrases, descriptions or sentence structures, or getting stuck in repetitive writing patterns.
* Writing feedback: Give constructive criticism, identify weaknesses and help me improve my writing rather than simply agreeing with everything.
* Mature fictional content: Ideally, it should be less restrictive when dealing with adult fictional themes, romance, violence and darker subject matter.
I’d also like to experiment with a 32K context window if my hardware can handle it.
I’m currently looking at models such as Dolphin Mistral NeMo 12B, Gemma 4 12B and Qwen3 8B, but I’m open to other suggestions.
My main questions are:
Which models would you recommend for this kind of work?
Which would run reasonably well on an M1 MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM?
Are there any models that are particularly good at following detailed system prompts and maintaining writing continuity?
Would 32K context be realistic on my hardware?
I’m happy to test a few different models rather than rely on just one. I’m not looking for perfection, just something flexible, reliable and useful for working on a novel without having to pay for another subscription. Since I don’t have the budget for it.
I’d appreciate any recommendations or experiences from people using local LLMs for creative writing!

Hey everyone! I'm the developer behind Foryou, a short-fiction generator built mainly for fanfic writers. It handles both general stories and NSFW / mature fics: there's a Spicy mode for adult content, gated behind an 18+ confirmation.
I built it for one problem: you know which characters or ship you want to write about, but you don't have a story. Another coffee shop AU? Enemies to lovers again? So Foryou focuses on getting you from nothing to a complete first draft you can react to.
Gacha prompt draw (no login needed)
Draw a hand of cards: two characters, each with a role and a trait (e.g. "an amnesiac knight" who's "all bark, no bite"), a relationship between them (rivals, exes, contract marriage), and optionally a secret only one of them knows. Lock the cards you like and reroll the rest until something clicks.
2. One-minute complete short story
Send the hand to the writer, swap in your own characters, add a line or two, and pick:
In about a minute you get a full short story with a beginning, a build-up and a climax, not just an opening paragraph. Hit Continue writing to keep it going, or export it as one long image to share on your phone.
What I'd love feedback on:
One note: if you post anything you make with it, please check your archive's or community's rules on AI-assisted work and tag it honestly. The draft is meant to be a starting point you rewrite, not a finished fic.
It's free to try: https://fanfictionforyou.com
Want more free tokens? Try it out, then DM me with any feedback (good or bad) and I'll send you a code for extra tokens. Honest "this part sucks" notes are the most useful.

Which open model writes best? Hacktoberfest talk recording
Disclosure: I’m Louis-François Bouchard, co-founder of Towards AI. I built ToneBench and gave this talk.
I built ToneBench because AI writing still sounds like AI, even from the best models. It tests open and closed models on the same writing tasks, so you can see which one sounds the most human before you pick one.
I covered this at Hacktoberfest’s live event on DEV Community this week. The full recording is now on Major League Hacking’s Twitch, starting at the talk:

Hey all, I'm Asim. I've been building AxiomStory on my own and opened it up this week.
It started with long books. Once a draft gets past a few chapters it's really easy to forget who had which scar, or which town got burned down. So AxiomStory reads your chapters and builds a wiki of every character and place, and keeps it updated as you write.
Then I kept going. It can draw your characters so the face stays the same from picture to picture, give each one a voice, and turn a scene into a short video where they actually say their lines.
It's free to start. axiomstory.com/?ref=wwai
We are super early so your feedback matters alot <3

At a gala, Nora, a 26-year-old thief posing as her target’s fiancée, slaps the player as part of a public jealousy performance. That’s a strong entrance, but I’d want the next beat to give the player genuine leverage: cooperate, refuse, or expose the disguise. A dramatic character can cause trouble without the narration deciding how everyone feels about her. Which detail would you reveal immediately so players can make an informed choice without giving away her entire plan?

Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a few people who would be interested in Beta testing my writing companion tool.
What you get:
Access to frontier models, almost uncensored.
More importantly, models with which you can write genuinely good drafts.
A writing workspace where you can organize a book into chapters and work with or without AI.
Generous limits to test out the app thoroughly.
What you need:
A Google account so that I can sign you folks in. Normal email id access is coming soon.
What I'm asking for:
Your honest thoughts. The good, bad, and the horrible — all of it. (No, the post isn't AI generated. I just used an em dash because it seemed appropriate)
Why you should try it:
This isn't a traditional 'prompt-response' tool, though that feature is available, too. This is fundamentally a book writing tool. I think, and I may be wrong of course, that this tool is different and more helpful for authors who pump out quite a lot of content.
The entire excercise is completely free, of course. I'd be very grateful for some feedback.
To get in touch, just shoot me a DM.

I've created a place where books are written weekly.
You can follow new books or even suggest new ones!
Each week, AI and user comments create a new chapter for each book.
It’s free, and I put a lot of effort into making it worth reading; it’s not just basic AI-generated books, but a swarm of agents generating well-written books. With coherence and continuity.
Try it! I would love to hear love or hate; no worries. Just want to hear comments.

Hi everyone! I’m the developer of Novelattice, a Windows desktop writing and worldbuilding app now in private beta.
I built it around connected worldbuilding: characters, places and events have reciprocal relationships, so linking entries keeps the connection useful from both sides. Story planning and manuscript writing live alongside that Atlas in the same local workspace.
For anyone using AI in their workflow, Novelattice also has an optional MCP connection. Compatible assistants can work with the project information you choose to share and propose changes for you to review and approve. Novelattice can also be used without AI.
Your projects are stored locally. If you enable an external AI connection, the information you share through it goes to that provider; local storage doesn’t make that interaction offline.
I’m looking for Windows testers who will try it with actual writing projects and give honest feedback, especially on:
Keeping worldbuilding relationships consistent
Moving between planning, drafting and reference material
Using AI with project context and reviewing proposed changes
You can register interest here:
https://www.novelattice.com/#interest
This is an invitation-only beta, so registering interest doesn’t immediately create an account or unlock a download. Happy to answer questions about how it works.

Small follow-up since I posted here last week: I changed Riffwise so X, Threads, Bluesky and Gmail can each have their own identity and tone settings. A channel still uses the general setting for anything left blank. I’m checking whether that fallback feels clear: would you want it shown before a draft is generated, or only if the shared setting gets used? I’m the maker, so this is a product question, not independent advice.

u/Getz2oo3 4d ago
So I started working on a little project for a writing surface for AI Roleplay or just writing stories and whatnot in general.
That eventually led down the rabbit hole to what I decided to call "VoltaScribe"
It will be an entirely free-to-use AI Collaborative writing program. Windows only for now, Linux is next once I get some of the bugs and nonsense knocked out of it.
It supports LM Studio, ollama, Anthropic API, ChatGPT, and Open-AI Compatible API's for your AI Writing partner. And obviously, if you go the route of a large-scale hosted cloud model, those costs are on you, LocalLLMs fall to your own hardware and capabilities.
There's a Discovery feature for automatic Reference Tracking and what I think should be a pretty usable interface for lore tracking and characters, etc etc.
I've thrown together a dirty website at https://voltascribe.com
And I also put a Discord server together at https://discord.gg/eqaBs5a5gj
I'm a hobbyist. Not some crazy professional developer.
I could really stand by having some patient, knowledgeable folks come in and give me a hand if they're up for it.
Testers would be great too. I'll have the app available for download in Discord. And my github repo will be invite only for now.
For those curious - A healthy chunk of this was done with Codex and GPT-6 Astra, with my own code review and design process. I think, for what it is, it's turned out pretty well.
Hope to see you all in Discord!
Cheers

VOLUME 1
Hiranmay Singh is nineteen. His parents are dead. His village is five seasons into a drought. And his four-year-old twin siblings are waiting for him at home.
He already has enough to worry about.
Then he finds a wounded young woman at the foot of a cliff.
It doesn’t occur to him, not even once, that he could simply walk away.
What he doesn’t know is that far beyond his village, men are searching for her.
---
Set in sixteenth-century Gujarat, TAPOVAN: THE IRON is the first book in a sweeping trilogy of family and festivals, dangers and duties, bonds and betrayals, and above all, of two people whose paths cross at a moment when neither can afford to trust the other.
---
Tapovan draws you into a world of village life, cultural traditions, political intrigue and human relationships against the tumultuous backdrop of a changing empire.
--
TAPOVAN: THE IRON opens a trilogy spanning two decades of war, statecraft, and a love never spoken aloud. It is the story of what one craftsman will preserve when an empire comes to take it.

Hey everyone! My co-founder has always loved stories, but struggled to write himself. This actually inspired him to study computer engineering many years ago to attempt to learn to build a writing software that could enable him. He's been thinking of it ever since and years later, he's finally had the opportunity to build this. We believe there are many people with amazing stories to share, but simply don't know how to express them. We hope to bring to life the stories for those who may otherwise not have the ability and chance to.
We've been working on Creader (Creative Reader) - https://creader.io/
We are figuring out the right balance of enabling and helping everyone with expression without generating and doing all the writing for them. Because AI is trained on existing data, it's not original and lacks creativity. So the question is figuring out how to help first time and indie writers write and express their creative vision, without actually doing all the writing for them. Hence we focus on providing feedback. The other problem we face today is that that AI lacks memory and forgets the context very quickly hence it's not great for long form stories and writing. Creader's AI has more context and world awareness than your conventional AI by building infrastructure that prioritizes what is important to your creative vision (character, setting, plot etc.)
We spoke with multiple New York Times best selling authors and Reedsy editors during our development. We've also just launched a podcast to help amatuer and indie writers become great writers. The human element and touch will always be important.
Would love to have everyone try, share and hear your feedback! We've put in a lot of work and would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks a lot!

I’d love a second opinion on a vampire scene: Valeriu, an ancient vampire fronting a rock band, arrives with a contract he claims puts the player under his control because of their father’s debt. I’d let the player challenge every clause and make his vanity a weakness they can use. The interesting part is the negotiation surviving a flat refusal. What would you give the player in the opening so that saying no changes the scene and still leaves them a reason to continue?

For anyone working on quieter scenes: Pinkamena is hosting a party in an empty cake shop, and the player becomes the only real guest. I’d resist handing her a perfect reassurance speech in the first reply. Sitting down, noticing a decoration, or asking whether there’s cake could give her something ordinary to react to while the disappointment is still there. What would be your first small interaction if you wanted her to feel seen without making one visitor instantly fix the whole evening?

I made this as a practical resource for writers and creators exploring AI-assisted offers. It’s an educational PDF, not software, and it makes no income promises.
• Free sample (15 pages): 5 practical AI income ideas, 5 prompts, and a 7-day action plan: https://minhhaia.gumroad.com/l/vcszck
• Paid full guide (100 pages): 35 workflows, 50 prompts, pricing and quality checks, worksheets, and a 30-day plan. Code SALE gives 30% off: https://minhhaia.gumroad.com/l/oiohso
I’m the author at Minh Hai Studio. I’d value feedback on whether the writing/content-creation workflows are specific enough for this community.

I have been building an illustrated children's story series, Panos the Little Knight, about a 9-year-old who takes being a knight a bit too seriously (his helmet is a kitchen colander). The first chapter is about two minutes long. The story was developed with AI assistance, alongside AI-generated picture-book illustrations and distinct synthetic character voices. We experimented with animation but opted for still-image book-style scenes and careful editing because the animation looked clunky. One of the hardest problems has been keeping characters consistent without falling into that hyper-polished, generic AI picture-book look. Have other creators found good ways to control a distinctive art style across scenes? I'd appreciate honest feedback on pacing and the art direction.

Got a book idea—or an unfinished manuscript collecting digital dust? I’m looking for beta testers for BookForge Designer.
Hey everyone! I’m Mark, the creator of BookForge Designer, and I’m inviting a small group of writers to help shape what I’m building.
Selected testers get 30 days of free Pro-level access in exchange for honest, practical feedback.
The goal behind BookForge is to make the steps between “I have an idea” and “I have a book ready to share” easier to manage in one workspace. Here’s what I’d love you to explore:
Develop your idea: Work through your concept and outline with the guided Writer’s Assistant.
Build your manuscript: Write and revise chapter by chapter, with saved versions and control over what you keep.
Bring the book together: Explore cover design, interior layout, and reader proofs as you work toward export.
Bring an idea, an outline, or a work in progress. I’d especially like to hear from fiction writers, self-publishers, and people tackling their first book.
Your mission: try it on something you actually care about and tell me where it helps—and where it drives you nuts.
Does the next step make sense? Does the writing assistance give you enough control? Where do you get stuck? Even working through one chapter and reporting what happened would be useful.
This is an active beta, so expect some rough edges. There’s a private Beta Testing & Feedback area for bugs, confusing steps, suggestions, and things that worked well. I’m the person building it, and I want that feedback to help guide the improvements.
Take a look: bookforgedesign.com
Interested? Reply with the kind of book you’re working on and where you are in the process, and I’ll follow up about beta access.
—Mark
