The itch
I got tired of writing tools built by people who don't write. After thirty-plus novels, I knew exactly where they abandon you: the finish line. So I built the studio I wanted — and put my own name on the front door.
The build
Nineteen AI models from eight providers sit behind one gateway with a per-model rate card. Drafting, critique, and polish each route to a different brain. Credits meter every call and refund on failure — the machine never charges for work it didn't do. Behind the editor: queue workers that render sequels, audiobooks, covers, and trailers, with a dead-letter replay when a job dies. Offline-first autosave means a writer on a train loses nothing.
The numbers
Counted from the repo, not estimated: 150 pages, 364 API routes, 454 test files, plus a native mobile companion. One person built all of it.
Go touch it
It's live. Open bookwriter.vip, start a book, and watch the software finish sentences with you — mine is the one that doesn't quit at chapter three.
