A writing desk for novelists

You write.
It reads.

A quiet place to write your novel, and a reader that knows every page of it. Ask what happened in chapter four, where Tom became Thomas, whether the middle drags. It never writes a word for you.

Ask for an invite See how it works

Works through the Claude you already have. No keys, no extra bill.

Chapter 92,814 words

The Letter

Mara turned the envelope over twice before she opened it. The handwriting was her mother's, all loops and impatience, the stamp put on crooked the way it always was.

She hadn't known there was a letter. Nobody had said a thing.

Asking your reader

Does Mara already know about the letter by chapter 9?

Reader

Yes. In chapter 4, Mrs Doyle tells her at the bakery that a letter came. Here she reads it as news. Cut the bakery line, or let her dread opening it.

Every other AI tool wants to write your book for you. This one reads it.

It never writes a word

Your book stays yours. The reader can open every chapter and every note, and change none of them. Ideas come back to you in the chat, and you decide what goes on the page.

It knows the whole book

Not just the page you pasted in. Ask about chapter two from chapter twenty: who knew what, and when, the name that changed, the thread you dropped.

No keys, no extra bill

It works through the Claude you already pay for. Add your book once, sign in with Google, and ask from any chat, on your laptop or your phone.

Questions only your book can answer

What colour were Ruth's eyes in chapter two?
Who knows about the fire by the end of Part One?
Which chapters don't move the story forward?
Where does the middle start to drag?
Have I described the kitchen two different ways?
What did I change since last Tuesday?

How it works

Write here
Chapters on one side, your notes on characters, places and research on the other. Nothing else on the screen.
Add your book to Claude, once
Sign in with Google and your book is there in every chat, on every device, from then on.
Ask
At the desk, on the train, in bed. Ask about the book the way you'd ask a friend who has read every draft.

The desk itself

Every version kept

Save a version whenever you like and go back to any of them. See exactly what changed between drafts.

Notes beside the manuscript

Characters, places, timeline and research, in folders you arrange the way you think.

Reads like a book

Light, sepia or dark pages and the text size you like. Dark is for reading in bed.

Opens without a signal

Your book lives on your device too, so it opens on a plane or out of range.

Why Chapter & Worse?

Every draft has one. The chapter you skip when you read it back, because you already know. A good reader finds it, tells you why, and leaves the fixing to you. That's the whole idea.

A play on “chapter and verse”: knowing a book down to the line.

Bring your worst chapter.

Chapter & Worselets in a few writers at a time. Sign in with Google and you're on the list; we'll open the door when there's room.
