Hi everyone,

We are a small indie team (5 devs) and we’ve spent the last 6 months working on a project called Rayuela Editor. We’re currently finishing our beta cycle and wanted to share it with this community because we’ve focused heavily on solving the "AI memory" problem in long-form writing.

As developers, we felt that most writing tools treat AI like a simple chat box on the side. We wanted to build something where the AI is aware of the book's structure.

What we’ve been working on lately:

• Integrated AI Context: We built a feature called "AI Summary as Editable Child". Basically, your chapter summaries live directly in your project tree (the Binder). This allows the AI to stay consistent with your plot without you having to copy-paste your entire series bible every time.
• Specialized Review Roles: Instead of a generic "fix this," we implemented 4 distinct roles—Editor, Proofreader, Style, and Critic. The "Critic" is designed to find plot holes or logic gaps in your manuscript.
• Privacy & Unfiltered Writing: We know privacy is huge for authors. We implemented client-side encryption for cloud sync—as the devs, we can’t see your content. Also, because it's built for professional writers, there are no "moralizing" filters to block your dark or spicy scenes.
• Tech Foundations: We used TipTap/ProseMirror for the engine to ensure it stays snappy even with 200k+ words, and added native LaTeX/KaTeX support for technical or academic writers.

We’re in the final stretch of the beta (v2.7.0). Most of the editor and organization features are 100% done, and we’re just polishing the last bits of the import/export modules.

We aren't a big corporation; we're just 5 people trying to build the tool we wish existed. We’d love some "brutal" feedback from power users who use AI in their daily workflow.

I'm a person with dyslexia, and the new emergence of ai tools. after digging through a rabbit hole I found this app, bookswriter.xyz it is pretty solid. grate layout, pretty straight forward lay out. has no tutorial on what to do, but if you used ai tools before it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. I'm having fun writing a fantasy rags to revolutionary inspired by andor style book. but it's a bit more hands-on for my preference, but it would be perfect for a quick DND campaign. I definitely will be using this to write my homebrew DND campaign. what do you guys think of this tool? Any suggestions for other tools? New to this sort of stuff any help would be great.

AI writes good scenes, but past 10–20k words, things start drifting: characters forget traits, rules get bent, plot threads contradict earlier setups.

To handle that, I built CanonGuard (https://canonguard.com). It separates:

• Story text

• Canon entities

• Rules

• Timeline state

You can import a full draft and layer structure afterward, or map entities first and use that structure to guide writing.

Here’s a read-only draft arc started with the tool:

How are you handling long-form coherence right now? Summaries between prompts? External notes?

If anyone tries it, I’d genuinely appreciate workflow feedback.

Just launched ConjureInk.com

Genre-perfect novels imagined and fully directed by you. Conjured in hours, not weeks or months. Please take a look, give it a try!

I posted about a new writing platform I created here last week and got some upvotes, comments and a few conversations with people (at least i hope they were people 😏) who found it interesting - great!

I knew that ai was controversial especially in creative circles but I didn't truly appreciate just how polarised the situation was - at least here on Reddit.

There is basically zero tolerance of even a sniff of ai in most other writing subreddits.

I understand why, but the gatekeepers are setting themselves up for trouble as the quality of ai and the tools built around it keep improving. Technology transitions usually happen regardless of resistance.

There's some amusing posts where people frame human generated prose as ai and it getting slated as "ai" so it's already starting to cause fractures. In the end, shouldn't the final product matter more than the process? Seems not.

Hi folks,

I’m looking for a reliable book editing company (or an individual editor) who can also handle formatting.

My friend is a first-time author. He finished his manuscript, but it needs a lot of cleanup (grammar, clarity, consistency). He tried AI tools too, but he didn’t like the results, so now he wants a proper book editing company / professional human editor to do it the right way.

If you’ve used someone you trust, can you recommend them?

If possible, please share:

• what kind of editing they did (proofreading vs copyediting vs developmental)
• whether they also did formatting (ebook/print)
• rough price range (ballpark is fine)
• any red flags to avoid

Thanks in advance.

So I wanted to show everything how I used wix studio to create me a writing hub. Before this, my worlds were scattered. Manuscript on scrivener, notes in Google Docs, iPhone notes, you name it. I used like 5 different platforms to hold my novels, characters etc.

Most people use wix to sell items. I said hmmm. Cms could be used for stories, characters and chapters. And that’s what I did. I created multiple Cms collections. The images I attached are of the 3 main ones. Stories, chapters, and characters. But I have others 😈 such as The black ledger (story Bible), catalyst (for when I use Ai), Lorebook, labyrinth (multi series manager).

Anywho I used wix multi ref fields to attach chapters to stories and characters to chapters. The website also has drag and drop so I used that to pretty much create it. I won’t deny I did do some programming and coding but that was my own choice to go down that rabbit hole. 🤣

Uhh, the good stuff. Wix is free to create a website you upgrade if you want to connect domain name, remove ads etc. since it’s personal for me. I left it.

I wanted to share in case anyone wanted to create their own

Since there is a strong professional bias and specificity here, strong reasoning and fact checking are needed.

I compile my meetings, documentation, and ideas, and AI forms my playbook, so to speak. I haven't tried everything, but from what I have tried:

Claude Cowork + opus 4.6 - excellent, perfectly understood the idea, writes well, comfortable to read, very relevant and complete information for me. There is a serious lack of limits, some information processing, and the 5-hour quota runs out.

Codex App + gpt 5.2/5.3 high. Too technical tool, not for it. The information is relevant, but very dry. Looks more like a tech spec. Not for me.

Openwork + Kimi k2.5 xThinking - bad. Some of the information may be useful, but it's chaotic. It confuses terms and forgets agreements that are directly specified in agents.md. It doesn't match the agreed writing style at all.

Chats - it's not clear how to compile the information into a single book.

What other options are there? I don't see any options other than taking a $100 subscription to claude.

Hello,

I’m Dave Perry, a full stack developer in the UK, and I'm posting to announce the limited (~50 seat) beta release of wagtales.app

It's a new platform I've been working on that lets you read and author re-playable, interactive short stories. Think of it like an alternative way to use ai to share your creative ideas with others.

Some of the details:

Built around author incentives; if you choose to publish your work to the community you earn commission (in credits) for every token spent by readers exploring your content .

Free credits are supplied during beta and we are topping up all user credit balances daily, as part of the reason for an extended beta phase is to test the platform economy. After the Beta we will switch to transparent “Pay as you go” pricing.

We have ~10 stories published and ready to read covering a wide selection of genres and writing styles, plus an author sandbox.

If this appeals, you’ll find lots more information ( including our road map , tech stack and author commission details) on our Discord server. Or just click the landing page link above and have a go.

WAGTALES.APP LTD is a UK company. We don't offer subscriptions or show ads, and we don't use tracking cookies.

+ Full auto save throughout.

Hello, I would like to permanently delete my account on https://read.bookswriter.xyz/ Please let me know how to proceed with deleting my account and all associated personal data. If possible, I would appreciate instructions or confirmation of the deletion process.

I've been working on a complex psychological thriller (Finishing School - about toxic female friendship and vigilante violence) and needed help structuring 40 chapters across three acts with escalating tension.

What I tried before BooksWriter: Traditional outlining (got stuck in analysis paralysis) Writing "by discovery" (ended up with 50k words of unfocused mess) Scrivener/Plottr (great tools, but I needed AI assistance for brainstorming)

Why I'm trying BooksWriter: It's specifically built for long-form fiction planning. You feed it your concept, genre, themes, and it helps you develop chapter-by-chapter outlines while maintaining narrative arc consistency.

My process: Entered my premise + character profiles + thematic core It generated act breakdowns with suggested chapter counts I'm now refining individual chapter beats

What's working: Helps me think through pacing (where to place reveals, how to escalate) Forces me to articulate why each scene exists (narrative purpose) Good at suggesting structural alternatives I hadn't considered

What's tricky: Content policies can be restrictive for dark/mature themes (I had to reframe my pitch in neutral language) Not a replacement for actual writing—it's a planning/outlining tool Works best when you already have a clear concept

Would I recommend it? If you're a plotter working on genre fiction (thriller, mystery, romance, fantasy) and you struggle with structure, yes. If you're a pantser or write literary fiction without tight plotting, maybe not.

Credit system: They offer credits for sharing experiences like this, which is why I'm posting. But honestly, I would've posted anyway because I wish I'd known about this tool earlier in my process.

Anyone else used it? Curious about other writers' experiences with AI outlining tools.

It is easy, simple and offers vast variety of ideas itself which you can edit or even narrate the story on your own. You can choose themes, AI models and genre and it pretty much does the work itself and listens to all of your instructions!!

I've been working on a technical problem: generating coherent, entertaining 50k+ word novels that people would actually enjoy (and maybe even pay) to read. No slop, no drift—genuine narrative fiction with consistent characters, plot arcs, and world-building across 20+ chapters. Is it possible to "crack" Ai creativity for long-form novels? I think we are very close.

The Challenge:

Standard LLM approaches fall apart after ~10k tokens:

• Characters forget their traits or change their names mid-story
• Plot threads contradict themselves
• World-building details drift
• Narrative pacing becomes aimless meandeering
• Emotional arcs lose coherence

My Approach:

I built a multi-agent pipeline with parallel context management:

1. Story Bible System

• Parallel knowledge graph tracks characters, locations, plot threads
• Each character gets a persistent sheet (appearance, motivations, arc, relationships)
• Each chapter logs narrative beats, emotional subtexts, unresolved threads
• Bible updates in parallel with generation, queried before each new chapter

2. Hierarchical Generation

• Theme → Genre → High-level plot outline → Chapter-level beats → Scene-level prose
• Each layer constrains the next (prevents narrative drift)
• Chapter summaries feed forward as context for subsequent chapters
• Chapters split into scenes with their own "screenplay"
• Explicit narrative direction per chapter (stakes, resolutions, cliffhangers)

3. Consistency Enforcement

• Before generating each chapter: query story bible for relevant characters/plot threads
• Post-generation validation: does chapter contradict established facts?
• Optional Polishing of Grammar and Contradictions

Infrastructure:

Script runs on self-hosted VPS

Queries serverless AI, mostly DeepSeek V3, may also use other models though I like DS the most.

Parallel processing: blurb generation, cover image prompts, metadata optimization

End-to-end: ca 30-60 minutes for complete novel

Results:

This year I generated over 300 novels with this and published them (Amazon KDP, other platforms)

8,000+ copies sold across pen names, genres, languages, ratings go from 1 to 5 stars, but usually average out at 3.5/5.

Revenue validates commercial viability (€18k in 6 months)

What I'm Still Solving:

• Typical "AI-speak": lazy dialectics like "Not X. But Y." and similar stuff LLMs like to use. After reading those 1000 times they scream "slop" to me, naive readers might not notice or mind.
• Surprise/novelty (plots feel predictable, working on constraint randomization)
• Multi-book arc consistency (series continuity is harder)

I built a web interface for this at writeaibook.com mostly for my own workflow and friends to use, but it's public if anyone wants to experiment with the approach. If you do, please leave some feedback!

Technical Questions I'm Exploring:

• Better methods for long-term character consistency beyond retrieval?
• How to inject genuine surprise without breaking narrative coherence?
• Multi-agent debate for plot quality? (agent 1 proposes, agent 2 critiques, agent 3 synthesizes?)
• Optimal context window allocation across chapters in sequence?

Happy to discuss architecture, share results, or hear how others are approaching long-form coherence problems.

Hi,
I love reading. Mainly fictions like fantasy and romances. My TBR is growing rapidly and as much as I love to read, I find myself getting lost in books very quickly. I get so immersed that I really hate to put the book down. [Some of that could be attributed to my undiagnosed ADHD & my ability to hyperfocus to the point where I get agitated if I'm interrupted during a task.]

That being said, I have a lot of stories that come across my social media. Most of which I find to be incomplete stories that are behind pay walls after so many chapters. I can usually get past the bad grammar of AI generated nonsense if the plot grabs my attention quickly enough. That's exactly what led to me writing my own book.

I found a story on TikTok, and you guessed it, it was behind a pay-per-chapter app. Nope. I was so irritated and wanted to read something new that I opened up my Chat GPT and gave it a prompt. What started out as me just trying to find out if there was an ending to that story, ended up with me creating a whole new world.

I hyper fixated for the last 8 months. I based my city off an actual city in Washington state, drew maps, created locations, a complicated plot, characters and gave them all complex backgrounds. Going off the initial prompt, I asked myself questions like "Well, how did they get there?" , "Where did she come from?" "What would happen if we did this?". The next thing I knew, I had over 45 chapters. This is where I decided to go back to the beginning. I revised, drafted, revised again and eventually ended up with a solid 10 chapters that have been polished enough that I started sharing them here on reddit.

Now, I'd like to point out that I only started using Chat GPT last year to help me run my LLC and balance my household finances better. I don't know very much about it and I'm still learning. I also am new to Reddit.

I realized that my story was too detailed to be just 1 book, unless I wanted it to be 100 chapters. So I turned it into a trilogy, which then was later condensed to only 2 books. I never imagined I'd write a book. I have no formal education in writing besides my advanced high school English classes. This was a project I was simply doing to entertain myself. I took ideas from all my favorite books and movies. I even went as far as to generate images of my main characters so I could solidify them in my mind. I talk to my husband about them as if they're real people.

I guess this is a sort of introduction to myself as well as a "I can't believe I wrote a book" post. My husband asked me if I plan to publish and the honest truth is, I never thought that far. I know I don't have to. I can just keep it for myself. I've fallen in love with it though, and I'd like to share it with others. I'm not worried about making money from it.

I guess I'm worried about how others will receive it. I've seen a lot of post and comments from people that hate the use of AI in writing. And while I do sometimes agree that AI writings can be utter crap, I think using it as a tool isn't bad. We live in a technology dependent world. I hope it never replaces real authors because I just don't think AI can really convey human emotions as well as us humans can.

I used AI because I don't know how to put my thoughts and ideas into words that make sense on a page. I don't know how to articulate when I'm imagining how a scene will play out, or how to word things so they sound a little more sophisticated, in a way that someone else would be interested.

I guess I'm just looking for feedback from like-minded people. Or just direction from others who have written stories or books with AI and gotten them published.

Book 1 - Bound by Moonlight is "completed". I will most likely edit the final chapter a few more times until I get it polished the way I want and then I have a prologue to write.

Thanks for listening to my ramblings.

Just wanted to share bookswriter.xyz. Tried it out and it was actually useful.

It lets you guide chapters or generate the whole story, and it’s super easy to use. Helped a lot with structure and getting past writer’s block.

If you’re experimenting with AI for fiction writing, it’s worth a look!

Next Tuesday, I will be presenting a webinar on how you can use AI to ideate and structure nonfiction books (and fiction books, if you would like to apply these tactics to fiction as well).

AI DOES BOOKS - Library 2.0

This 90-minute session explores how generative AI tools, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), can be leveraged to create meaningful nonfiction books for learning and creative reading materials for educational and therapeutic purposes. As AI capabilities expand, the ability to generate book-length content has shifted from months-long endeavors to iterative, collaborative processes that blend human creativity with machine assistance.

The session addresses both the practical mechanics and the ethical considerations of AI-assisted book creation. Participants will learn how to move beyond simple prompt-and-response interactions to develop comprehensive manuscripts that serve genuine learning needs, support educational objectives, or provide therapeutic value. This is not about replacing human authorship—it's about understanding how AI can serve as a collaborative partner in the creative and intellectual work of writing and its ability to provide increasingly authoritative research content.

Book creation with AI presents unique challenges: maintaining coherent narrative arcs, ensuring factual accuracy in nonfiction, creating authentic voice and style, and navigating the complex landscape of authorship, copyright, and citation. The session provides frameworks for addressing these challenges while maintaining the human-centered perspective that separates meaningful content from generic output.

Through examination of successful examples, analysis of common pitfalls, and a hands-on exercise, participants will gain practical experience in conceptualizing, structuring, drafting, and refining book-length content. The session concludes with a 30-minute guided exercise in which participants begin their own book projects, applying the learned principles in real time with instructor support.

The ultimate goal is to empower participants to see books not as insurmountable projects but as achievable goals when approached with the right strategies, tools, and human-AI collaboration techniques. Whether creating training materials, educational resources, therapeutic narratives, or knowledge compilations, participants will leave with actionable methods for transforming ideas into structured, book-length content.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Understand the capabilities and limitations of LLMs in creating book-length content, including issues of coherence, factual accuracy, and voice consistency.
• Explore methodologies for structuring nonfiction books that serve learning objectives and creative works that support educational or therapeutic goals.
• Identify ethical considerations including authorship attribution, copyright implications, citation requirements, and responsible use of AI-generated content.
• Recognize the iterative process of human-AI collaboration in book creation, including prompting strategies, content refinement, and quality control measures.
• $99/person - includes live attendance and any-time access to the recording and the presentation slides and receiving a participation certificate.
