Credits / no subscription

Credits, not subscriptions

One credit is one dollar of writing. You only spend credits on work that actually runs — drafting, editing, diagrams, portraits — and every book comes with a full report of where they went.

Common questions

What happens after I start?
Your brief moves through concept, outline, parallel chapter drafting, editing, and a whole-book continuity check. You can follow the run as it works and pause to approve the outline.
Do I own the manuscript?
Yes. Your brief, your book. Export the finished manuscript and publish it wherever you like.
What if I don't like the result?
Open it in the studio editor. Ask for rewrites chapter by chapter, accept or reject each suggestion, or regenerate from the outline with revised notes.
What exactly am I paying for?
Credits, spent only on work that actually runs — the models that draft, edit, and check your book. One credit is one dollar of writing; a finished novella runs about 21–36 credits, and every book includes a report of where they went.
