For Indie Authors
One tool for writing and managing your books.
Write. Track. Export. No tool-switching.
Indie authors wear every hat. Writer. Editor. Cover designer. Formatter. Marketer. The last thing you need is five tools for the writing part alone.
Typewriter combines the writing editor, story bible, character tracking, and export system in one place. Write your draft, track your characters, export a print-ready PDF for KDP. No Scrivener plus Notion plus Atticus plus a spreadsheet. Just Typewriter.
How indie authors use Typewriter
Write and organize in one place
