A WRITING ROOM

A workspace for the long book.

Openatelier is a writing app for novelists who treat their manuscript as a serious object. Chapters, notes, world, and structure, kept in one quiet room.

THE WHOLE BOOK

Step back and see every scene at once.

Tableau lays the manuscript out as a board of cards, one per scene, with word counts, status, and bookmarks. The structural view a novelist needs when the prose view stops being enough.

THE STUDIO

Built for the craft

A SECOND READER

A thoughtful editorial reading, in the margin.

Ask La Plume what is working in a passage and what is falling flat. A critical eye on call, with the manners of a good editor.

La Plume
The openatelier La Plume editorial feedback panel, a tall annotated reading beside the prose.
THE WORLD

A reference book for the world you are writing.

Magic, culture, species, technology, politics, religion, language, geography. Your worldbuilding kept as a bound volume rather than a folder of stray notes.

Grimoire
The openatelier Grimoire encyclopedia view, with category tabs and entries for the world of a manuscript.
THE RECORD

A quiet log of words written.

Daily counts, streaks, a best day, a total for the month. The work, made legible to the writer doing it.

Writing History
The openatelier writing history view, a chart of daily word counts with streaks and totals.
THE ROOM

Set the page the way you read.

Choose a serif you trust, a width that suits your eye, a daily target if you keep one. The instrument adjusts to the writer.

Settings
The openatelier editor appearance settings, a list of typography and layout toggles.
There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.
