Features

Iron Scribe gives you everything you need to craft, organise and bring your stories to life — all in one program, reading from one file, on your own machine.

  • Library

    Organise your books and series in one library, with covers, page counts and word counts.

  • Manuscript

    Write, edit and structure your story with focus and clarity. Per-chapter word counts and targets, and F12 to float a page onto a second monitor.

  • Story Planning

    Plan plots, relationships and structure on a drag-and-drop board. Saves as a metre-wide PDF for the wall.

  • Timeline

    Track events, chapters and character movements in story order rather than the order you wrote them.

  • Maps In development

    Layers, brushes and stamps for drawing the country the book is set in. Not finished, and not what you are paying for today.

  • World

    Manage characters, places, factions and lore, each with a picture, kept where the manuscript can reach them.

  • Export

    Export your manuscript in clean, writer-friendly formats — set six by nine and justified, with a contents page that fills itself.

  • Writing Assistant

    Bring your own key for the provider you already pay for. It reads your registers, so it stops inventing your characters at you.

The manuscript

Your chapter, and everything it refers to.

Names from the registers are picked out in the prose as you write. Hover one and the card for that character or place opens beside it. Summaries, story day, location and status sit above the text.

The manuscript page: a chapter list on the left, chapter details and prose in the centre, and the writing assistant on the right.
The Iron Scribe library, showing two series of books with their covers, page counts and word counts.

The library

Every book and series, at a glance.

Covers, page counts and word counts for every book you are writing, grouped by series. No limit on how many you keep here — charging by the book would be charging you for writing.

Ready when you are
