A writing studio for novels and series

Finish the storythat’s been waiting.

You write every word. Authrot reads along and keeps track of the rest: who’s who, what you promised, what chapter 3 already said. It organizes your book. It doesn’t write it.

Organized, not ghostwritten

The AI reads your book. It doesn’t write it.

Most AI writing tools want to draft for you. Authrot’s best work is reading: scan a chapter and it sorts out the cast, the places, the promises and the slips, each tied to your own words. Nothing is added to your manuscript.

Ch 30 · who’s tied to whom

See the whole cast, and how they’re tied.

Family, rivals, mentors and the places they belong, drawn from what the chapters say. Try it: click anyone to center on them, or drag the chapter slider and watch the web as it stood then.

Ch 2 · what happens

Every chapter, laid out beat by beat.

The scan lays a chapter out from its first paragraph to its last: where it happens, the events in order, the promises it plants, where things stand, the images it leaves, and who’s on the page for each. Click any mark to read it.

Told by Ilsa, Tamsin Day 3 · Dawn · Noon · Dusk

Chapter 2 from its first paragraph to its last: where it happens, what happens, and who is there. Pick a mark to read it.

Promise planted· critical

Ilsa hides the key and tells no one. It will have to come out.

Then the numbers, and a read if you want one.

By the numbers is counted from your text alone: no AI, no credits. Ask for the model’s read when you want what a count can’t see: point of view, pacing, tone and your strongest line.

Counted in your browser from the text alone. Free, and there with AI blackout on.

A model can tell you point of view, tone, pacing and what the prose leans on. It reads; it doesn’t rewrite a word.

Ch 2 · The Smith’s Girl

Scan a chapter. The bible fills in.

Scan a chapter into your story bible, and Ilsa, Corin and the ember key show up on their own, with every mention pinned in reading order. Anchor the facts that must never change.

Ch 6 · a promise comes due

It remembers what you promised.

The palace fire you set up in chapter 1 is flagged as overdue by chapter 6. A line that breaks an earlier fact is caught, with the fact it breaks right beside it. You decide what to do about it.

Everything one scan sorts out for you.

  • Entries made for you, with aliases and traits, and how much each one matters.

  • Named, referred to, relied on, in reading order, across every book.

  • Setups grouped by when they pay off: due now, left hanging, the long game.

  • A line that breaks an earlier fact or anchor, with that fact beside it.

  • Family, rivals and allies, and the chapter each tie starts and ends.

  • The cast across every chapter: who's present, whose eyes, who exits.

  • Characters who have gone quiet too long are flagged before a reader notices.

  • Every plot line down the chapters, with the quiet ones flagged.

  • Hear when a chapter strays from its arc, its anchors or your rules.

A scan writes to the bible, never to your chapters, so a book you wrote yourself still publishes as Human-written. Each scan shows its price before it runs. Scan a chapter when you choose, or have it scanned when you stop typing.

No AI, no credits

And a whole studio that runs on your own hands.

Linking, renaming, planning, history, import and export: none of it calls a model, all of it is free, and every bit works with AI blackout on.

  • Type [[ or select a name to tie it to its entry.

  • Every unlinked mention in a chapter, listed. Tick the ones to link.

  • One name changed across the whole book, previewed first, undoable.

  • Two entries for one person become one, and every reference moves too.

  • Filter by kind and importance, sort by story order, and “Ilza” finds Ilsa.

  • Foundations, arcs, classic story structures and chapter plans with a checklist.

  • Reading time, sentence length, dialogue share, -ly adverbs, the words you lean on.

  • Drag to reorder, status from idea to final, and alternate takes of a chapter.

  • Diff, restore, or undo one change. Try the other ending on a branch.

  • Word, Google Docs, Markdown, PDF, EPUB and more, split into chapters for you to review.

  • EPUB, a 6×9 PDF, Word, Markdown and text, the bible and notes too.

  • Same chapter, same time, six roles. Publish under a pen name, labelled Human-written.

AI blackout

Don’t want AI near your book? Then it isn’t.

Turn on AI blackout and the project is a plain writing studio. No model reads a word of it. Nothing is suggested, drafted or “improved”. No credits are spent, and every AI control leaves the screen, so there is nothing to click by mistake. Set it the moment you create the project; only you can turn it off. And either way, we never train on your writing.

Book Two · a new face

Names that belong in your world.

Set how each people or place names things, and the name dice roll names that fit. No AI, no credits, so reroll as often as you like.

UsingThe Marches

Only when you ask

Want a second opinion? Ask. Keep the last word.

The assistant reads the book, proposes the exact words to change, and nothing moves until you apply it. It follows your style guide, on Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or DeepSeek, whichever you choose. The text from before every edit is kept, and AI-written words stay marked, so readers always know.

Built for the long haul.

Two endings

Try the other ending. Lose nothing.

Write it on a branch, or rewind to a chapter and go somewhere new. The bible drops what no longer happened. Every version is kept.

A co-author joins

Bring your co-author into the same chapter.

Live cursors, their own roles and a branch each if they like.

Serial releases

Set the schedule. It publishes on time.

Publish under a pen name, a chapter a week. If one can’t go out, nothing is published and you’re emailed why. Readers get clean pages, sepia or dark.

AI narration

Turn your chapters into narration.

A voice for each character. It plays while the rest is made, and after an edit only the changed paragraphs are narrated again.

Start from a spark

Start with a blurb, a scene or a messy note.

Four steps from the core and the voice to the cast and the world, then the arcs and chapter 1. Write each yourself, or ask for three directions to choose from.

Arc 3 · you’re here

Every arc moves the main plot.

Plan in arcs, each with a goal, what stands in the way and what it costs. Chapters are scanned against them, so you hear when one drifts.

And the things you only notice when they’re missing.

  • We never use your writing to train AI, and we won’t start without asking you first. Any project can go into AI blackout.

  • Choose whose models do the work, or take our pick for each task, with the cost shown first.

  • Write, check the bible and answer the assistant from the train.

  • Google, Apple, Microsoft, an email code or a passkey.

  • With your chapter-heading styles and scene-break ornaments. Markdown and plain text too.

  • Imports and chapter scans run while you write. Stop any of them.
