Writing Software for Authors

Writing software usually comes in scattered pieces: an editor here, character cards there, a word counter in another app, and AI in a chat tab that doesn't know your book. YourNovel.app brings the author's entire workflow into one online tool — and the writing part is free, with no word limit.

The 7 pieces, in one place

1. Manuscript editor with autosave

Write chapter by chapter with continuous automatic saving (local + cloud) and a "Saved ✓" indicator. Never a save button, never a lost page. More about the novel editor →

2. Free-form chapter and scene structure

Add, rename, reorder, and delete chapters and scenes in two clicks. Start from a blank canvas or ask the AI for an outline and reshape it. Guide: how to organize a novel →

3. Automatic story bible

Characters, locations, and relationships get carded automatically from your text — editable and always current. How the Story Bible works →

4. Word goals and streaks

A configurable daily target and a chain of days that only counts your manual writing. The goal system →

5. Focus mode

Full screen, comfortable typography, zero interface until you need it. Distraction-free writing →

6. Automatic versions

A daily manuscript backup plus manual versions, restorable in one click. Your work, protected from yourself.

7. Publication-ready export

DOCX and PDF with exact Amazon KDP formatting (margins, 6×9 trim size, editorial typography), plus a cover designer. From manuscript to publishable book without leaving the app.

And the optional eighth piece: the AI co-pilot

Whenever you want it — and only then: continue your chapter with full context, rewrite in 5 styles, brainstorm about YOUR story, pacing analysis, consistency checker, and beta reader. Or Auto-Pilot, which writes the entire book if that's your path. AI is the paid upgrade (from €19/mo); writing is free.

Compared with the alternatives

Coming from another tool? We have a direct comparison with Scrivener. Against Word or Google Docs, the difference is structural: they're generic word processors; this is a book-writing environment.
