Open Atelier is a web-based writing application designed for fiction writers. It reads your manuscript chapters and identifies craft issues like dialogue problems, continuity gaps, and prose habits using rule-based checks and AI analysis. Each finding is anchored to your text and linked to a short lesson. Writers can practice fixes on their own passage and then re-check to see what changed. The tool includes a manuscript editor with version history, a story bible for tracking characters and places, and support for importing from Word, Scrivener, and other formats. AI features are optional and per-manuscript: writers can choose Human only, Coach, or Co-write modes, with each textual source tracked in an authorship record.

Shopper questions

What is a Coach read?

Coach reads one chapter and leaves notes beside it. A read that fails is not counted.

What is a Co-write request?

One ask for versions of a passage, such as Rewrite or Tighten. A request that fails is not counted.

What happens if I run out of my plan's allowance?

Your writing never stops. The editor, the rule-based check and the lessons keep working, and the allowance comes back with your next period.

Can I import my manuscript from Word or other formats?

Yes. From the library, Import reads a Word (.docx), PDF, text, Markdown or RTF file, a Scrivener project, a Novelcrafter export, or a zip of documents. You check the chapters before anything is saved. Imported text is marked as imported in the authorship record.

How do I export my manuscript?

From the manuscript's page, choose Export. Word gives standard manuscript format with optional authorship record and story bible appendices; EPUB is for e-readers; PDF offers manuscript or book page formats; Markdown and plain text preserve structure. You can also download everything as a zip backup.
