Author documentation
Guides for Author, from your first book and scene to events, strands, continuity checks, versions, beta readers and your AI, plus the tool reference and a glossary. Early access.
Author is a writing room for novels, novellas and short stories. These pages explain how to use it. They describe early access, so they say plainly what needs a plan and what is not offered.
