How the story bible works

Character Tracking

Every character. Every scene. Every contradiction.

Automatic tracking across your entire manuscript. See where characters appear, what they say, and when their details conflict. No more spreadsheets.

How character tracking works

AI Writing Assistant

AI that's read your whole book.

Not a generic chatbot. An AI co-author that knows your characters, your world rules, your writing style. It reads your full manuscript before every suggestion.

How the AI works

The Editor

Write for hours. Not minutes.

Typography optimized for long-form fiction. Chapter management with a binder. Rich text with inline formatting. Built for the kind of work that takes months.

Focus Mode

Write. Don't fiddle.

Typewriter scroll. Paragraph dimming. Ambient sounds. Session timers. Word targets. Six session types from timed sprints to word count goals.

Continuity Checking

Plot holes. Found.

Elara has brown eyes in chapter 3 and blue eyes in chapter 27. Her fear of heights in the prologue and a bell tower climb in chapter 12. Typewriter catches it.

Chapter Management

A binder for your book.

Chapters in the sidebar with drag-to-reorder. Word counts per chapter. Status tracking: outline, draft, revision, complete. Navigate 300 pages without scrolling.

Export & Publish

From draft to bookshelf.

PDF with trim sizes for KDP and IngramSpark. EPUB for Kindle and Apple Books. DOCX for your editor. Typography, front matter, scene breaks — all configurable.

Collaboration

Invite your people.

Editors, beta readers, proofreaders — each with role-based permissions. Real-time sync. Comments and suggestions. You stay in control.

Eight Canvases

Not just novels.

Poetry with line numbers. Screenplays in Courier. Cookbooks with recipe cards. Children's books with illustration spreads. Each canvas formats to industry standards.
