Novela Studio: write the story only you can tell

Plan it

Start with a single spark.

Pick from 30 templates and Novela lays out the structure: the beats, the chapters, the rules of your genre. You decide where every chapter goes.

Write it

Then the pages start to fill.

Write every word yourself, or have the AI draft a chapter in your own voice while you steer. Earlier versions are always one click away.

Finish it

Chapter by chapter, to the end.

Scorecards flag tired phrases. When it’s done, export EPUB, Word or a print-ready interior for Amazon KDP.

What Is Owed

The register at Calloway Bait & Tackle still stuck on the cash drawer, the way it had for thirty years. June knew the trick. Hip against the counter, a hard tug, and the drawer gave up its smell of quarters and fish scale.

What she didn’t expect was the second drawer.

It sat under the first, shallow as a cigar box, and it held one green clothbound book with a rubber band gone brittle around it. On the cover, in her grandmother’s square capitals, someone had written WHAT IS OWED.

Story World

It remembers every detail.

Who knows what. Where everyone is. What was promised, and the secret you haven’t revealed yet. Novela keeps the file, so chapter 23 stays true to chapter 2.

How much AI help?

You set the dial.

Your book. Your words. AI only when you ask. Change the dial any time, book by book. Write with no AI at all, or bring in as much help as you want, from Claude, GPT, Gemini or hundreds of other models through your own account.

Write it myself

Every word is yours. Templates, story tracking, scorecards and exports. No AI and no API key.

A little help

A coach, not a ghostwriter. It brainstorms, drafts your plans, keeps the Story World current and proofreads. It never writes your prose.

Full co-writer

You steer each chapter; it drafts in your own voice; you edit. Everything in A little help, too.

Buy Novela Studio Not sure yet? Try it free for 10 days

Your license key appears on screen right after checkout. Secure payment by Stripe. AI help is optional and uses your own account with Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini or OpenRouter, billed by them directly, usually a few dollars. Google’s free tier works too.

Questions

Answered plainly.

Can I try it before I buy?

Yes. Start a free 10-day trial with just your email. No credit card. You get the whole studio except cloud sync, and when you buy, everything you wrote stays right where it is.

Do I need to pay for AI?

No. AI is optional. You can write with no AI at all. If you want help, add an API key from the service you already use (Anthropic’s Claude, OpenAI’s GPT, Google Gemini, or OpenRouter for hundreds of other models) and that service bills you directly for what you use. Google even offers a free tier.

Can I save ideas on my phone?

Yes. Novela Notes is one tap away on every screen. Type an idea or tap Talk and say it. Your phone turns your speech into text, or, on iPhone and iPad, Talk can record a voice note that your own OpenAI or Google Gemini key turns into text. With cloud sync on, your ideas are on your other devices too, ready to become a new story or part of one you’re writing.

Can I use it on more than one device?

Yes. One license is for one person on up to 3 of their own devices, like a laptop, an iPad and a phone. Turn on cloud sync and your books follow you between them.

Where are my books stored?

On your device, plus an optional encrypted cloud copy that only your recovery code can open.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Write anywhere. Each device just needs to go online at least once every 14 days to confirm your license.

What can I export?

EPUB for Kindle, Kobo and Apple Books; Word documents; a print-ready interior sized for paperbacks; plus Markdown and plain text. Plays and screenplays export as a script-format PDF with a title page, a Word file and Fountain, and screenplays as a Final Draft (.fdx) file too.

Can I write plays and screenplays?

Yes. There are templates for a full-length stage play, a ten-minute play and a feature screenplay. You write in proper script format, with buttons for scene headings, character names and dialogue, a page count that tells you roughly how long each scene runs, and a page view that shows it the way it prints.

What languages can I write in?

Any language you can type. Set it per book, and AI help follows that language too.

Is it a subscription?

No. You pay once and keep every future update. The free trial doesn’t turn into a subscription either: it simply ends after 10 days.

How do I get help?

Email admin@causealytics.com from the address you bought with.
