Novelcrafter is your all-in-one writing hub, designed to let you focus on what matters most: your story. Whether you’re planning the first chapter, or putting final touches to your manuscript, Novelcrafter will keep your writing organized, and let your creativity flow.

At its heart, Novelcrafter is a writing platform. While we offer powerful AI capabilities, they are completely optional – you can use Novelcrafter effectively without ever touching the AI features. If you want to explore AI assistance, you will find flexible tools for brainstorming, editing, writing, and more. You are in control of how much or how little AI you want in your workflow.

Whilst in this Quick Start guide I use the term ‘novel’, I want to address that despite the name, Novelcrafter is not restricted to novels. Our users write short stories, serialised fiction, scripts and non-fiction in the software. Our team even uses the software for many aspects of our own content creation, as it is a great way to store and organise information.

Ready to begin? This Quick Start Guide will walk you through setting up your account and getting started with your first project.

What you’ll need:

  • An email address,
  • An internet connection,
  • An up-to-date web browser.
