Novelcrafter

What is Novelcrafter?

Novelcrafter is a writing environment for novelists that organizes manuscripts, characters and world details. Its AI features let writers connect their own AI models.

Key capabilities of Novelcrafter

• Unlimited books and series: Manage books, series and universes on every plan.
• Bring your own key: Connect your own AI model keys from Hobbyist.
• AI scene summarization: Summaries of scenes.
• Character extraction: Pull characters from text.
• Workshop Chat: AI writing assistance on Artisan and above.
• Teams: Create and manage teams on Specialist.

How Novelcrafter works

Writers draft in scenes and chapters and keep story details organized in a codex. With a Hobbyist plan or higher, they connect their own AI model key so the app can summarize scenes, extract characters and assist with prose. Higher tiers add chat and collaboration features.

Who uses Novelcrafter?

Novelcrafter is used by fiction authors who plan and draft long manuscripts and want control over which AI model they use. Priority support and teams on the Specialist plan suit collaborative writers.

Novelcrafter pricing

Scribe costs $4 per month with no AI, Hobbyist costs $8 per month with BYOK AI, Artisan costs $14 per month and Specialist costs $20 per month. Annual billing gives 2 months off, and the vendor does not run sales or promotional pricing.
