From your first thoughts to a book taking shape
A personal writing companion shaped around your ideas, experience and intent. The complete author experience below is our vision; the free writing preview gives you chapters, notes and wording review to try.
The author experience we are creating
A book grounded in you
Begin with an interview about your purpose, reader and contribution. Bring selected blogs, notes and earlier writing into the book to give the assistance useful context.
Speak your thoughts or write them down
Capture an idea while it is fresh. Develop rough thoughts into an outline or chapter, with the original close at hand and proposed changes for you to approve.
Shape a coherent manuscript
Explore where an idea belongs, how chapters connect and what the reader needs next. Assistance with structure and revision follows the direction you set.
Research with something to check
Examine factual statements against sources and their dates. Research assistance should help you see supporting evidence, disagreement and questions that need another look. You decide what the book can substantiate.
Keep a story consistent
Follow characters, relationships and events across chapters. See how a change affects the story and find details that need attention as the narrative develops.
Develop your original frameworks
For technical and non-fiction books, keep concepts, definitions and the connections between them in view. Distinguish your own contribution from the work you cite.
See your book taking shape
Explore a consistent visual direction for the cover, chapter images and interior. Review design suggestions alongside the writing they support.
Take your manuscript with you
The full author experience includes Markdown, Word and PDF exports. The writing preview offers Markdown downloads, so you can already keep a copy of your work.
Throughout this experience, assistance develops material you choose to bring to the book. You review the suggestions and decide what becomes your manuscript. No automated check can guarantee originality or factual correctness.
Try the writing preview
Your books and chapters
A library of books, chapters you can reorder and remove, and drafts saved as you type. Your writing stays in this browser, on this device. Signing in does not sync or back it up.
Formatting without markdown
Select text for bold, italic, small quote, pull quote, information box, attention box and code, or use a slash menu. ⌘B and ⌘I work as they do everywhere else.
Review wording in context
Find phrases to reconsider
Highlights draw your attention to wording patterns, with explanations and suggested replacements where available. You decide whether a finding is useful.
See the phrase in its paragraph
Open a highlighted phrase to read the explanation alongside your draft. Review it in context before deciding whether to change it.
Keep your review decisions
I’ll change it. I meant this. Not a rule for me. Your decisions are saved in this browser. Choose “Not a rule for me” to mute a rule across your chapters. Its findings stay visible but faded, and no longer count as open.
Understand what a finding means
Wording checks are prompts for your judgement. They do not establish authorship, detect plagiarism or verify the facts in your manuscript.
Review your pasted text
Check characters
Character checks flag issues such as invisible characters and lookalike letters that can be hard to spot while reading.
Choose whether to keep the conversion
Paste from Word or Google Docs. riter converts punctuation and accented letters to plain characters and shows what changed. Use “Undo the conversion” before your next edit to keep the original paste. Code blocks are left untouched.
What the preview measures
Voice, originality, accuracy and continuity each have a separate state. Originality highlights wording patterns for review. Text integrity checks its characters separately. Voice reads insufficient; accuracy and continuity read pending. Adding writing or sections does not activate a voice, accuracy or continuity measurement.
Leaving with your work
Download a chapter or your whole book as Markdown to keep a copy outside this browser. If character problems block export, riter shows them so you can resolve them first.
You make the revisions
Review the findings, keep the wording that works and revise what needs attention. riter does not write your book for you.
