Quill

Introduction to Quill

Quill is a structured writing workspace designed for fiction and non-fiction authors working on long-form projects. It provides tools to move from early ideas to a finished manuscript through clear planning features, a focused writing environment, and progress insights. The platform supports narrative organization with parts, chapters, and sections, helping authors maintain coherence throughout drafting and revision.

Quill’s AI features are intended to help users think, organize, and reflect. Editing suggestions are context-aware and focused on clarity and flow, while preserving the author’s voice. Collaboration, progress tracking, and export options are integrated to support the end-to-end writing process from outline to final files.

How Quill Works

Authors begin by setting up a project and selecting how they want to write. Ideas can be collected and organized in the Inkwell, and structured plans are created with Story Forge. From there, content is developed in the Manuscript workspace, which keeps the book’s hierarchy clear across parts, chapters, and sections.

The writing interface is focused and distraction-free. Quill AI provides intelligent, context-aware editing suggestions to improve clarity, flow, and style without rewriting the author’s work. The AI is used to support planning and reflection, not to generate the book on behalf of the writer.

Collaboration tools allow invited co-authors and editors to review drafts, leave feedback, and follow progress. Built-in insights support goal setting and writing streaks to maintain momentum. When the manuscript is ready, authors can export clean files as PDF or DOCX.

Core Benefits and Applications

Quill supports a range of long-form projects, including novels, memoirs, and non-fiction books. Authors can plan a structure that scales from outline to full manuscript, write in a focused environment, and receive context-aware editing suggestions that do not override their voice. Teams can collaborate with shared access and feedback, while progress metrics help maintain consistency over time.

For publication and sharing, authors can export well-formatted files suitable for editors, agents, or self-publishing platforms. The Author plan includes Imprint features for a public author website with domain/subdomain support, public sharing of works, and reader tools such as subscriber updates and notifications.
