Questions

Good questions, straight answers.

How does Architext keep my characters and scenes organized?+

Every character, plotline, and piece of worldbuilding lives in your reference library and links to the scenes it appears in. Open a scene and its cast and stakes are right there, and the casting and plot boards let you see every character or thread across every scene at once.

Does Architext write my book for me?+

No, and nothing ever will. With the Studio add-on, Architext brainstorms with you and gives a fresh read when you ask, but it does not draft your prose. You write every word, and the signed authorship certificate makes that provable. More on the stance on the Why Architext page.

Can I import my existing novel?+

Yes, from Scrivener, Word, and Google Docs. Your manuscript comes in as a structured, connected project rather than a flat wall of text, usually in minutes.

What can I export to?+

Export a submission-ready manuscript to Google Docs or Word, and publish finished books as Word, ePub, or PDF. Round-tripping with your favorite editor is expected and supported.

Where does my novel live? Is it safe?+

Your novel is stored securely and encrypted at rest, and you can export or publish it at any time. Leaving is always one click.

And if you ever stop paying, your work doesn't vanish. Your novel stays available to you in read-only mode, free, forever. You can always open it, read it, and export it. Your book is yours to keep, no matter what.

What does Architext cost?+

The Writer plan is $14/month or $150/year, and the optional Studio add-on is $10/month. Every plan starts with a free trial. Full details on the pricing page, including the discounted founder rate running through September 30, 2026.

What is the authorship certificate?+

A signed record that every word of your book is yours. Because Architext never drafts prose, it can stand behind that. Anyone can verify a certificate without an account.

Can I share my book with early readers?+

Yes. Share one stable, read-only link to the chapters you choose. Beta readers need no account, and you can take the link back any time.

Can I write on my phone?+

Yes. Open architext.app on your phone for a touch writing experience built for drafting on the go. Same book, same project, wherever you are.

Who's behind this?+

Architext is built by Jeff Sylvester, a software engineer by day and a novelist by night. He wrote his debut novel, Failsafe, using an early version of this app, built as a personal tool because existing options didn't keep his notes in view the way he wanted. When he started his second novel, he rebuilt it as a web app and kept adding the features he wished he'd had. He hopes you'll find Architext as valuable as he did.
