From first draft to first reader.
Chapterstack is a writing workspace and a publishing home for authors. Draft offline, keep full ownership of every word, and share your book chapter by chapter — only when you're ready.
Free to start
No exclusivity
Export anytime
Write anywhere, even without a connection
Your writing, notes, and attachments save to your device as you type and sync automatically when you're back online. A plane, a train, a dead zone — it just works.
Drafts live locally first, so a flaky connection never costs you a sentence.
Your writing is always yours
No exclusivity clause. No revenue cut on sales made elsewhere. Publish here and anywhere else — other platforms or your own website — at the same time, so you stay the author, free to sell through any channel.
Export to Word, Markdown, or plain text — even offline.
No exclusivity, no platform lock-in, ever.
Get feedback before you publish
Start a private review on any chapter, invite a trusted reader or an editor by handle, and collect notes line by line — right inside Chapterstack. No exporting to a separate document, no chasing edits over email.
Reviews run on a snapshot, so your draft keeps moving while feedback comes in. Reviewers can react to each other's notes, and you can add or remove people and close the session whenever you're done.
The rest of the toolkit
Solid, useful, and out of your way — the features you'll lean on without thinking about them.
Organise chapter by chapter
Add, rename, reorder, and delete chapters freely. Drag to rearrange any time.
Version snapshots
Checkpoint any chapter, browse past versions, and restore one if you change your mind.
Private notes
Character sheets, plot reminders, ideas not ready to write — visible only to you.
Import your manuscript
Bring a Word, Markdown, or text file — Chapterstack splits it into chapters by its headings.
Your author page
A public profile with bio, links, and your full catalog — one URL you can share anywhere.
AI transparency
Label each book human-written, AI-assisted, or AI-generated — shown openly to readers.
