For novelists
Write your novel.
We handle the rest.

III · The Lighthouse
Saved
The keeper had stopped winding the clocks the week his daughter left, and the house had learned to keep its own crooked time — meals at dusk, letters at midnight, the lamp lit whenever the sea sounded wrong.

Buy once, own it forever — plus a growing shelf of free public-domain classics.
The writing flow
From outline to finished book.
The path a novel actually takes — plan, draft, revise — wired into one calm studio, with everything a finished book needs waiting at the end.
- I
Outline the book.
Shape it before you write: a story bible for characters, places, and threads, and an outline you can brainstorm with Claude. Your world, kept consistent as it grows.
- II
Write with Claude in the room.
A calm TipTap editor that gets out of your way. Highlight a line to rewrite, expand, shorten, or continue — your voice profile rides in every prompt, so it sounds like you, not generic AI.
- III
Revise until it's yours.
Chapter-by-chapter manuscript review and consistency checks catch the drift — names, timelines, tone — and explain every note in plain language, by chapter name.
- IV
Dress the book for readers.
Design the cover on a real canvas, then translate it into new-language editions — the production a finished book needs, without leaving Tome.
- V
Publish to the Tome store.
One click turns the finished manuscript into a storefront listing — readers discover it, read it, and buy it on Tome. You set the price and keep the rights.
What’s inside
Every tool a finished book needs.
02
Write
A distraction-free editor with inline AI: shorten, expand, rewrite, continue. Your voice profile is injected into every prompt so Claude sounds like you, not generic AI.
03
Cover
A real canvas editor with layers and typography, plus AI generation across Recraft v3, FLUX Pro, Ideogram, and Kontext. 300 DPI for print, ready for KDP.
04
Translate
An AI agent renders your finished book into another language — chapter by chapter, your voice and story bible intact — as a linked edition you can cover, price, and sell on its own.
05
Publish
List the finished book on the Tome store, where readers discover, read, and buy it. You set the price; the rights — and the readers — stay yours.
06
Own it all
Manuscripts stay yours — stored encrypted in Tome, exportable to PDF, EPUB, DOCX, and Markdown anytime. No API keys to manage: you pay for the AI you use, in prepaid AI words. No lock-in.

You wrote it here — sell it here. One click turns a finished manuscript into a storefront listing, and you start earning from readers who buy and rent it.
