FeelyWrite is book writing software for novelists who want help, not a book written for them. You write; it drafts scenes from your outline, rewrites a passage into options and answers questions about your own manuscript. Its story bible, Story DNA, holds your characters, world and voice. Start with 15 free credits, no card.
Whatever you’re writing, FeelyWrite speaks its craft. Pick your shelf.
Story DNA
Past a few chapters, small facts drift: a rule from chapter two breaks in chapter twenty. Story DNA holds your premise, characters, world rules and voice in one place, and every feature reads it before it writes. We measure that at chapter 21 of a 100,000-word manuscript, where the context is mostly summary.
Each one is a single, deliberate move: a result you can use or ignore. You stay in charge of the page.
Turn an outline into a real first draft, scene by scene.
How it worksThree ways into a chapter when you are stuck.
Names, places, plot turns. On demand.
How it worksYour manuscript and its copyright are yours, always. Export the whole book to docx, epub, pdf, or markdown whenever you like.
Story DNA holds your premise, characters and world, so every suggestion fits the book you are actually writing, not a generic one.
Nothing is auto-written and nothing is locked in. You approve every line, keep what you want and ignore the rest.
How it works
Capture your idea, characters and world as Story DNA. It becomes the memory every suggestion is measured against, so nothing drifts.
Draft a scene, reshape a paragraph, deepen a description, or ask for three ways forward when you stall. You keep every word you want and ignore the rest.
Nothing is auto-published and nothing is locked in. Your manuscript stays yours. Export the whole book to docx, epub, pdf, or markdown anytime.

Every pricing page on this list is accurate. Most of them are also useless, because they quote a monthly fee for a product you use in bursts.

The number you want is not the genre average. It is the debut range, which is narrower. The gap between the two is where a lot of first manuscripts quietly fail.
