A writing studio
Chapters, autosave, word count and writing stats.
The writer’s atelier
Every great worldbegins with a word.
Draft your chapters, build your world and share your story with readers, in one calm workspace.
Free plan, no credit card. Drafts stay private until you publish.
One workspace instead of three
Your story, your world and your readers, finally in one place.
Most writers juggle a word processor, a folder of lore and a separate site to publish on. In uNovelist they share one source of truth, so your lore follows your story all the way to the reader.

A writer’s workspace that brings together a manuscript editor, a worldbuilding wiki and a reading platform. You draft chapters, organise your world and publish for readers, all in one place.
Is it free?
Yes. The Wanderer plan is free and lets you write and publish stories with up to 50 wiki entries. Archmage (€9/month + VAT where applicable) removes the wiki limit and starts with a 14-day free trial.
Are my drafts private?
Always. Projects stay private until you publish, and you choose which chapters and which wiki entries readers can see.
What is the spoiler-safe wiki?
When you publish, you can open a wiki for readers. Each entry can be revealed after a specific chapter, after the book is finished, or manually, so readers only see lore they’ve already reached.
Which genres does it suit?
Any. The modules shine in fantasy and sci-fi, but romance, mystery and literary fiction use characters, places and research just as much.
Can I create my own modules and fields?
Yes. Next to the 13 ready-made modules you can create your own, and design the fields and layout of each entry type.
Do I need anything to read stories?
No, reading is free. Create an account to keep a library, follow authors, highlight passages and leave reactions or reviews.
