Introducing Our Novel Writer Tool: A Professional Writing Environment

We're excited to introduce our Novel Writer tool, a powerful writing environment designed specifically for authors working on long-form narratives.

What is the Novel Writer Tool?

The Novel Writer is a comprehensive writing environment that helps authors organize their work by chapters and scenes while providing a clean, distraction-free writing interface. Built with the serious writer in mind, it combines powerful organizational features with a simple, elegant writing experience.

Key Features

1. Hierarchical Organization

Organize your novel with a structured chapter and scene system. The sidebar provides an always-visible overview of your entire project, making navigation between different parts of your manuscript effortless.

2. Markdown-Based Editor

Our tool uses SimpleMDE, a powerful Markdown editor that gives you formatting options without the distraction of complex word processor interfaces. Focus on your content while still having access to essential formatting tools.

3. Automatic Word Counting

Keep track of your progress with automatic word counting for each scene and your entire novel. Perfect for setting and achieving daily writing goals.

4. Multiple Export Options

When you're ready to share or back up your work, you can export your entire novel as a Markdown file or as JSON data that preserves your complete structure.

5. Local Storage

Your work is automatically saved in your browser's local storage, so you don't lose progress even if you close the browser accidentally. You can also manually export and import your work as JSON files for additional safety.

6. Preview Mode

See how your completed novel will look with the preview feature, allowing you to review your work as a reader would experience it.
