Shy Editor

ShyEditor is a writing environment for novelists with AI built into the planning, drafting and revision stages. For planning, the Story Engine turns a premise into a synopsis and a chapter by chapter outline, and a knowledge base tracks characters, places and events, building itself from an imported draft. While drafting, pressing Tab suggests the next sentence in the author's voice, and the grammar checker treats invented names as valid. For revision, the user can request a critique of one chapter or a full editorial letter on the whole book. The feedback covers plot logic through prose style, quotes the manuscript, ranks problems by severity and produces a step by step revision plan. An AI chat that reads the project can check a timeline, follow a character across chapters or find a plot hole. A marketability report includes comparable titles and a one page synopsis for query letters. Other features include a corkboard view, version history, writing goals and stats, file library, bibliographies with APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard and IEEE styles, and sharing any chapter by link. Export presets cover novel manuscripts, APA and MLA. The Basic plan is free, with 20 AI assistant credits per month, 100MB of storage and export to text. Pro is $10 per month and includes 500 credits, 5GB of storage, AI image generation, deep research, personalized AI writing styles and export to Markdown, PDF and DOCX.
