One studio forthe whole novel.

Chapters · Codex · Readers · Export

Blocwrite is manuscript software for fiction authors—draft in a focused chapter editor, keep your codex beside the prose, send beta reader links, and export when the book is ready. Chapter Chat and Blocs when you want them; your OpenRouter key, or AI off entirely.

How it works

Three layers of the workflow

Think in Chat, move the scene with Blocs, and keep the manuscript infrastructure—codex, readers, export—in one place.

In the studio

Screens you'll recognise

The interface authors use daily—shown here without marketing gloss.

Chat

A sparring partner that has read the chapter.

Open Chat while you draft. It sees the active chapter, your codex, and the tone you're aiming for—so you can test an opening, untangle dialogue, or check if a reveal lands.

  • Same screen as the draft
  • Action only when you say so

Blocs

When the scene needs to move.

Type \ in the draft. Blocs thread your characters, world, and the beat you were chasing—then stop at a preview.

Accept a next line, a turn, or a longer passage. Or retry until it fits. The manuscript stays yours; Blocs are a lever, not a co-author.

  • Preview-first by design
  • Idea or full scene
  • Powered by your codex

Studio

Where the book stays organised.

Your shelf holds every project. Inside a novel: chapters on the left, the draft centre, codex and notebook on the right.

Share chapters with beta readers and pull their notes into the Reader tab. Snapshot a checkpoint before a risky rewrite. Import Word, export EPUB—without leaving the studio. AI is optional throughout.

  • One workspace per novel
  • Share links with inline notes
  • Word in · EPUB and DOCX out

Beyond the draft

What carries you to the last chapter

The quieter tools that keep continuity, feedback, and files under control across a long project.

Chapter shelf

Reorder, rename, and jump between chapters without losing the shape of the book.

Codex

Characters, places, lore, and voice settings—open beside the chapter you're writing.

Beta readers

Send a read-only link. They annotate in the browser; notes land in your notebook.

Import & export

Pull in a Word draft. Ship EPUB or DOCX when the manuscript is ready to move on.

Checkpoints

Name a snapshot before a major edit. Compare or roll back if the rewrite goes wrong.

Your AI, your cost

Connect OpenRouter when you want Chat or Blocs. The studio does not bundle generation credits.

Community layer

A stronger writing community inside Blocwrite

Alongside drafting, Blocwrite now includes learning and collaboration features designed to keep writers connected while the manuscript remains central.

Learning: courses and articles

Private members-only learning with practical writing articles and structured mini-courses built for long-form fiction.

Forum: discuss writing tips

Use the members forum to discuss craft, ask questions, and share practical writing tips with other authors.

Share novels and collaborate

Share your latest chapter, take feedback on board to improve the work, and run two-way collaboration with controlled review and approvals.

One studio, whole manuscript

Draft, codex, reader feedback, and export—without juggling separate apps.

Your manuscript stays private

Your work stays in your workspace. We do not train on your writing or sell your content.

AI on your terms

Optional OpenRouter connection. Write for months with AI off if that's your process.

Share when you're ready

Reader links are opt-in—password and expiry under your control.

Fewer tabs. More finished chapters.

Manuscript software that respects how novels are actually written.
