One Platform.
Everything you need to:
 

WriteLoom is the end-to-end workspace for writers ready to take their craft to the next level.

Each step of the process talks to all the rest, so your synopsis flows into your back-cover copy, into your one-pager, into the personal note you send an agent.

Plan studio

Outline by act, draft by scene.

Plan the next chapter in the outline view. See the whole arc in the storyline view, every act, every beat, every scene. Drag, reorder, and watch the story take shape before you write a word.

Plan studio

Characters and worlds that remember themselves.

Character profiles, world entries, and a relationships canvas, all linked to the manuscript so your edits stay grounded in your story's facts. Nothing forgets your book between sessions.

Write studio

A meticulous editor, not a co-writer.

The editor handles your prose. The AI assistant flags weak phrasing, pacing problems, and continuity slips, without rewriting a single sentence for you. Your voice stays yours.

Sell studio

Covers that test against the real shelf.

Generate variants, iterate on typography and palette, then score every option against the comps in your genre, before a single reader sees the book.

Learn more
Pitch studio

Find the right agent, draft the right letter.

A curated database of literary agents and publishers, filtered to your genre and recent sales. Draft and tailor query letters with full project context, then track every submission in one place.

Market studio

A launch plan with a budget that adds up.

Comp curation, reviewer outreach, a marketing calendar with line-item budget tracking, and a timeline that connects every launch decision back to the manuscript it's selling.

Chapter II·AI on your terms

Love it, hate it, or somewhere in between.

We don't care whether you hand the AI the wheel, want it as a quiet hand, or skip it entirely. Pick the tier that matches how much AI you'd actually use, and turn the rest off.

If you love AI

On Loom, hand the Write assistant your plan and have a complete first draft in a day. AI editors clean up after; the marketing studios draft your query letter, back cover, and reviewer outreach from the same project. You stay editor-in-chief; the AI does the typing. 1M AI tokens a month, with $10 top-ups for another million when you need more.

If you want a light hand

Spool opens every AI feature on a small monthly allowance, 100K AI tokens and 10 image generations a month, no top-ups. Enough to draft a tricky chapter, run a handful of agent or comp searches, generate a cover or two, and see which features earn a place in your process. Many writers use it exactly this way: a quiet workspace with AI as an occasional second pair of hands, not a co-author. And every AI feature can still be turned off entirely if you'd rather skip it.

If you hate pitching

This is the part of the platform writers ask for most. The Pitch studio handles agent + publisher research and drafts personalized queries from your synopsis and bio on both Spool and Loom; Loom just has 10× the AI budget if you're running serious volume. Either way: drastically less spreadsheet.

Chapter III·Where to begin

Start anywhere. Land anywhere.

Whether you have a glimmer of an idea, a half-finished draft, or a manuscript that's ready to send to the presses, there's a doorway in. Open Studio 01 and start from a blank outline, or bring the book you've already written by exporting an EPUB from your current writing platform or uploading a Word document. The studios you don't need yet sit quietly until you do.

Just an idea

Open Studio 01. Build the outline, sketch the cast, name the world. The Write studio opens the page when you're ready. The editors wait until they're useful.

Mid-draft

Upload a .docx and chapter detection runs on import, your manuscript lands in Write already broken into chapters. Plan backfills as you note characters and beats. The editors are there the moment you turn to them.

Ready to ship

Bring the finished book in as .epub or .docx, then jump straight to Design, Pitch, Sell, and Market. Cover designer, query builder, comp set, reviewer outreach, all reading from the manuscript you already wrote.

Migration paths: .docx (Word), .epub (any writing platform that exports one), .pdf (text or vision OCR), and .txt. More detail in the FAQ below.

Chapter IV·What makes WriteLoom different

Drafting is one third of writing.

Every other writing tool tops out at the manuscript. You finish a draft and start over in five new tools: a cover designer here, an agent spreadsheet there, a keyword tool, a reviewer list, a launch calendar. By the third tool you have lost the thread of your own work.

WriteLoom treats a project as one continuous thing. The synopsis you wrote in Plan shows up, already filled in, when you draft your query in Pitch. The comps you chose in Market quietly inform the cover rater in Sell. The author bio you set once travels into every outreach letter.

You stay creative. The platform handles the bookkeeping.

One project, from blank page to launch.

Made for fiction and non-fiction.

Those are WriteLoom's two homes, from novels and short fiction to memoir, narrative non-fiction, and essays. The same project adapts to plenty more, too: pick a work format when you create a project and the editor, toolbar, export pipeline, and relevant studios change to match.

Chapter VI·Reception

Built by writers, not marketing tech bros.

Shaped by working writers in our beta program; here's what they actually said. We've shortened their names at their request — these are real beta writers giving honest feedback, not paid endorsements.

The reason I stuck around was the Pitch studio. I had 40 agent spreadsheets going. Now I have one.

Romantasy, two-book deal
I use it mostly with AI off. The Plan studio and the relationship canvas held my whole 220k-word trilogy without going wobbly past 80k like other tools do.
D

Epic fantasy, indie
The line editor caught my voice; it didn't replace it. That's the whole reason I trust this thing.

Chapter VII·The fine print, made plain

Your work. Your pace. Your exit.

WriteLoom is built on a principle most writing tools quietly avoid: you own everything you put in, and you can leave at any time.

AI is optional, not central

Every AI feature can be turned off. The organization studios, Plan, Media, Design, Market, work as a structured workspace with or without a model in the loop.

AI usage is included

No per-call billing, no separate AI bill. The one exception is audiobook generation, which uses your own ElevenLabs API key, they charge by character, and most writers prefer to control that line item directly.

Export anywhere, anytime

PDF, EPUB, .docx, .md, manuscript, cover, comp set, marketing plan, all yours, all portable, any time. You're never locked in: your book lives in standard formats you can take with you whenever you want, so you stay because WriteLoom earns it, not because you're stuck.

No training on your work

Your manuscript is never used to train any model. The only thing that leaves WriteLoom is the context a feature needs, sent to our AI providers, Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI, under contracts that forbid training on it; audiobook narration uses your own ElevenLabs key. Nothing is sold, mined, or used to improve a system that isn't yours.

Cancel without losing your book

If you cancel a paid plan, you drop back to the free Thread plan. Your account and manuscripts stay with you; only the paid studios pause. Inactive Thread accounts (no sign-in for 6 months) have their projects removed.

Chapter VIII·Sustainability

One oak per writer, every year.

Software has a quiet carbon cost. The servers that hold your manuscript, the data centers that route your AI calls, the storage that keeps every revision , none of it is free. We don't pretend it is. We do try to leave the ledger in the green.

Tree planted1 oakFor every active writer, every year you stay with us. Planted through verified reforestation partners in regions where oaks are native.
10-year offset≈ 1 metric ton CO₂Ten oaks accumulating roughly 55 tree-years of growth absorb on the order of a metric ton of carbon dioxide as they mature. (Estimates vary; we round conservatively.)
Your footprint2–10 kg CO₂e / yearA typical SaaS writer's data-center share. Even at the high end, the trees we plant are meant to run well above your annual cost.
Net effect after 10 yearsDesigned to more than offset your shareOn these estimates, the trees we plant for you should absorb well beyond a decade of your usage. We won't claim 'carbon-negative' until our published numbers back it up.

Figures are estimates, not promises. We publish the receipts in our annual report, coming with the first full calendar year.

Pricing

Chapter X·Questions

There are no bad questions.

Still curious? Ask us anything.

Is this AI going to write my book for me?
Only if you want it to. WriteLoom's AI tools are all optional. If you love AI, you can hand the Write assistant your plan and have a complete first draft in a day. If you hate AI, turn it off and use the Plan, Media, and Design studios as a quiet, well-organized workspace.
Do I have to bring my own API keys?
AI usage is included on every paid plan, no per-call billing, no separate AI bill. The one exception is audiobook generation, which uses your own ElevenLabs API key (ElevenLabs charges by character).
Is the free plan actually useful, or just a teaser?
It's a real plan. Thread gives you the full Write studio (chapter editor, autosave, scene breaks, inline images), the AI author-bio builder, PDF export, and media storage. Storage caps at 25 MB. The AI writing assistant unlocks on Loom; planning, list-building, and calendar tools unlock on Spool.
Is this only for novelists?
No. WriteLoom supports novels, short fiction, memoir, nonfiction books, essays and journalism, academic writing, screenplays, TV pilots, stage plays, graphic novels, comics, picture books, poetry, songwriting, game narratives, interactive fiction, cookbooks, and technical manuals.
What about sustainability?
We plant one oak per active writer per year through verified reforestation We plant one oak per active writer per year through verified reforestation partners. Over a decade of use that's ten oaks per writer, roughly a metric ton of CO₂ absorbed as they mature, against a typical SaaS data-center footprint of 2–10 kg CO₂e per year.
I already have a draft, can I bring it in?
Yes, and it's the most common way writers start. Create a project, then upload from the project page or the Write studio's empty state. Supported formats cover what most writers actually have on hand: .docx (Word, with headings preserved enough to detect chapters), .epub (spine reading order), .pdf (either as text or, for designed/typeset books, kept as the rendered source with Claude vision OCR running on every page), and .txt. The cap is 20 MB per file, plenty for a 200,000-word novel. Chapter detection runs automatically on upload, so your manuscript lands in the Write studio already broken into chapters. Once it's in, every other studio can read it: the line editor critiques voice, the developmental editor reads structure, the comp-set tool pulls from your prose, the back-cover generator works off your synopsis, and so on. If you'd rather keep a designed PDF intact (a graphic novel, illustrated children's book, or already-typeset proof) you can flip on Keep PDF as source and skip text extraction, the original renders in a viewer alongside every other studio. Version history is automatic: re-upload any time and the previous version is archived, not replaced.
Will my writing be used to train AI?
No. Nothing you put into WriteLoom is used to train any model, ours or a vendor's. When an AI feature runs, we send only the context it needs to our providers, Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI, under contracts that prohibit training on your content; audiobook narration uses your own ElevenLabs key. We never share manuscripts for any other purpose. Worth knowing: when you paste your draft into a general AI chat (ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Gemini, etc.), those interfaces may train on what you submit unless you've specifically opted out in their settings. WriteLoom routes around that entirely; the same models live inside WriteLoom under a no-training agreement.
What happens to my work if I cancel?
If you cancel a paid plan, you drop back to the free Thread plan. Your account and manuscripts stay with you; the paid studios (Plan, Edit, Pitch, Sell, Market, Design) pause until you resubscribe. Thread is free forever, but if a Thread account is inactive for 6 consecutive months, the projects on it are removed. Sign in once every few months and your work stays put.

Start the next book well.

Free forever on Thread. No credit card. Bring an existing manuscript or start from chapter zero, we will meet you wherever you are.
