Novelcrafter
Novelcrafter is an AI-powered writing platform designed to support authors throughout the entire storytelling process, from brainstorming and character building to drafting, reviewing, and exporting their work. The platform offers a dedicated “Codex” wiki where writers can catalogue characters, locations, lore, and world‐building elements, ensuring consistency and easy reference. It supports structured planning modes, acts, chapters, scenes, and integrates seamlessly with the writing interface so authors can switch fluidly between planning and prose. AI tools are optional and fully customisable: authors can connect their own API keys (OpenAI, Claude, local LLMs) and set up tailored prompts, or work manually without AI support. Novelcrafter includes a distraction-free write mode, revision history, import/export of documents (Word, Markdown, HTML), and mobile compatibility for writing on the go.

Nine Rooms
Nine Rooms is an intelligent writing and publishing studio designed to help authors move from first idea to publish-ready novel. The platform gives writers a guided nine-step floor plan covering setting, story seeds, concept development, planning, characters, worldbuilding, drafting, revision, and publishing assets. Its AI Apprentice works as a writing partner that asks questions, suggests ideas, and helps develop the project without replacing the author’s voice. Writers can brainstorm by voice on mobile, continue drafting at a desk, and keep the same manuscript available across devices. Nine Rooms lets users write for free, export markdown anytime, and pay only when they want to unlock publish-ready deliverables. Built for serious fiction writers, Nine Rooms helps turn scattered ideas into structured manuscripts, polished revisions, covers, metadata, and professional export files.

Edith
Edith is an editor for novelists who want an honest read of a finished draft before paying thousands for a human editor. It starts with an editorial letter: she reads the whole novel at once, up to 150,000 words, and tells you whether the story works and what to fix first ($15; try 10,000 words free). The complete edit ($249, one-time) then takes the book through five more stages: developmental (plot, character, pacing), structural (scene and chapter build), stylistic (the prose line by line), copyediting (grammar, consistency, a running style sheet) and proofreading. Every note can be talked through in a chat: ask why, push back, and settle it your way, like working with a human editor. She keeps the whole book in view and remembers your decisions across every stage. Edith suggests and never rewrites, so every word stays yours. Edits come back in a Word file, and manuscripts are never used to train AI.
