As they walked down the alley, the smell of fresh bread wafted through the air. The setting sun was casting long shadows on the cobblestone street. Sounds of laughter echoed from the nearby tavern, and the clinking of glasses could be heard from the open windows. Dante and Beatrice walked in silence, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling city.

What Authors Say
Some testimonials and kudos from authors who've used Novelcrafter:
By far, it is the best bang-for-your-buck writing tool on the market. It is fully AI capable, complete with planning, writing, and AI chat conversation features.
I have used many different writing software programs over the years, and right now, Novelcrafter is the best software for novelists. Even if you don't use AI features (I don't personally), the interface is so easy to use due to the cross-platform environment, and it's perfect for writing on the go.
I am a Discovery writer (aka Pantser). This is the best AI-assist software that I have found for my method of writing.
I have over 20 novels and over 60 shorter works published, and Novelcrafter has helped take my writing up a level.
Ever since I started using Novelcrafter, I found that I have to do a lot less line editing, and the process is easy. You can set a custom POV move scenes around on the planner and get amazing feedback from the Chat.
I particularly love the Codex because even if I’m writing a new scene and I forget to add in some thing relating to the plot, the AI pulls details from the codex!
The Chat is similar to brainstorming with a writer buddy, only difference is this writer buddy is available 24/7 and remembers everything. And, to that, there is this Codex Feature that I am quite impressed with, where I can build out an interactive glossary of sorts, just for my novel!
I see Novelcrafter as a game changer for my writing. That is, taking novels from start to finish - with an emphasis on completion. Achieving this far quicker and with greater visibility than Word.
