Everything between your idea and a reader
Most of what Novelmint does stays out of sight until you need it. This tour follows one small book, a cozy mystery called The Greyhaven Charts that we made up for these pictures, from first idea to the reader's shelf. You make the decisions that make it your book, and the AI renders what you decided.
Talk the book through with Minty
Minty, the built-in AI editor, reads your whole plan before she answers. Ask which plot threads are still open, or whether a character has gone quiet, and she points at the exact chapters and beats she means. When she changes the plan you watch each change land, and anything that costs credits waits for your yes.
See the whole book at once
A book is laid out as chapters of beats: short scene-by-scene plan points that the prose is written from. Colored lines show each plot thread weaving through the chapters it touches, and a band on each chapter shows whose point of view it is. A private note on a beat steers how it gets written, and readers only ever see the prose it shapes.
A story bible that every chapter is written from
Characters, places and world rules live in one story bible. Every chapter is written from it, so Wren still wears her father's coat and still says "noted" in chapter thirty. Each entry counts the beats that character appears in, which makes a forgotten side character easy to spot.
Set the shape of the story
18 story dials, such as pace, darkness, romance and mystery, set the feel of a whole series, and every chapter is written toward that shape. Paste a passage of your own writing and the dials are set from it. Readers see a chart of each book's qualities on its page, so they know what they are getting before chapter one.
Build chapters with the models you choose
Press Build on a chapter and it is written from your beats, your bible and the voice you chose. The estimate shows first, and you are never charged more than its top. You pick the lead model that carries your voice and the others it may draw on, compared side by side on measured writing quality and cost. Bring your own AI key if you have one, or run a bake-off and read the models' scenes next to each other before you decide. The first chapter of your first book is written at no charge.
Agents that keep working while you are away
Hand a bigger job to an agent: build a world, a cast, a book or a whole series, or check a finished book for continuity against your bible and plot threads. What a builder makes waits for you to keep or toss. An agent never spends past the most it showed you; when it reaches that limit it pauses and emails you before spending more.
Publish to readers who can find you
Publish chapter by chapter to the Novelmint shelf. Anyone can read the first chapter of every book free, without an account, and you earn 70% of what readers pay to unlock the rest. Readers can tell Minty what they are in the mood for and the shelf re-tunes on the spot.
