Features
Everything a long manuscript needs, in one workspace.
Scribith is not a chat window with a word count. It is a binder, an editor, a research desk, a planning board and a publishing pipeline - all working from the same Brief and the same source material.
The Binder
A tree of parts, chapters, scenes and special sections. It is the spine of the book and the thing every generation reads from.
- Drag to move; undo on every move
- Section types for prose, summary, title page and images
- Context menu on every node
Generate structure
Turn the Brief into a chapter and scene outline. You control how big the outline gets, then shape it by hand.
- Outline size is yours to set
- Rename, add, delete, rearrange
- Story-structure templates available
Generate prose
Write a one-line synopsis per section and draft from it - a section at a time, or the whole book in one run.
- Prose length per section
- Chapter introductions
- Revise with your own instruction
The editor
A formatting toolbar with paragraph styles and alignment, plus everything you expect from a serious writing surface.
- Version history per section
- Find & replace across the book
- Preview the whole book
Focus mode
Full-screen writing that still lets you move between sections without leaving the mode.
- Arrow between sections
- Nothing else on screen
Research, notes & sketch
Three panels beside the text: what you looked up, what you meant to do, and what it should look like.
- Research panel
- Notes panel
- Sketch and image sections
The AI writes from your material, not from the open internet.
The Brief is the single highest-leverage field in the application - the title, the structure and every section of prose trace back to it. Around it sit the things that make generation specific rather than generic.
Source documents are indexed and searched when the AI drafts. Style & language fixes register and output language. Book Chat and Knowledge Base Chat let you interrogate the manuscript and the source material directly. An existing manuscript can be uploaded and analysed before you write a word.
Source documents
Upload the material the book is built on; it is indexed and used when drafting.
Import
EPUB upload and Scrivener import bring existing work in whole.
Book Chat
Ask questions about the manuscript itself, synced to the current draft.
Analyse a book
Upload a finished manuscript and ask what it is doing before you rewrite it.
Visual Binder
The book as a graph rather than a list. Several views of the same structure, and dragging that rewires it.
Planning Board
Chapters as columns and sections as cards. Move things, create and edit without opening the editor.
Manuscript Health
Run it on a finished draft and read back an overview plus findings on pacing, point of view, continuity and tone.
Brainstorm sits alongside all of it. Sessions you can return to, with reference files attached, so early thinking does not get lost between the Brief and the outline.
Export files
Markdown and Word, with section numbering and a generated table of contents.
Images & covers
Illustrate the book, adjust and suggest covers, and export the image set.
Blog posts
Derive posts from the manuscript, written inside Scribith or built externally.
Presentations
Turn the book, or part of it, into a deck.
- Two roles - editor and viewer, set per book
- Invitations - invite by email, manage members, revoke access
- Clear limits - a viewer can read and comment, never restructure
- Soft delete with undo - removing a book or section is recoverable
- White-labelled - your name, your logo, your colours
- Editable prompt sets - tune how the AI writes, per tenant or per book
- Four interface languages - EN, NL, DE and IT
- Admin surface - help documents and videos, feedback board, cost reporting

The fastest way to judge Scribith is to point it at a book you already care about. Ask for a demo and we will do exactly that.
