In your browser or on macOS. #### From the first scene list to the last revision Most novelists keep a book in pieces: the draft in one app, the plan on index cards, the world in a notebook, feedback in an email thread. Feldar keeps those pieces together, so the plan, the world and the prose can inform each other. ##### Plan each chapter as scenes Every page in Feldar has an outline. Describe what happens next, choose how many scenes you want, and Generate scenes lays them out with a title and a short description each. Rewrite them, delete what doesn't fit, or add your own. When the plan is right, write the chapter yourself with the scenes beside you, or press Draft Page for a first pass at the word count you set. [How scene planning works](https://feldar.com/features/scenes) ##### Keep your story world on a Canvas Characters, locations, items, factions, plot beats and notes sit on one board as cards, joined by labelled links such as Part of, Causes or Opposes. Branch from a card to start a related one: a sister for your detective, the town where she grew up. When Feldar helps you write, it draws on these cards, so its suggestions use the names, places and history you have already set down. [More about the Canvas](https://feldar.com/features/canvas) ##### Revise in your own voice, and see every change Select a passage and choose Polish, Deepen or Enhance, or tell Feldar what you want in plain words, like "Slow this down." The rewrite arrives in a card with the changed words marked. Apply it, or keep what you had. At the end of a paragraph, Continue from here writes the next lines in blue. They stay only if you accept them. Paste a sample of your own prose into Voice & Style and the suggestions follow your rhythm rather than a generic one. [How Feldar's AI works for novelists](https://feldar.com/ai-for-novelists) ##### Get a first read before anyone else does Lens, in Chat, gives your page six readers: Critic, Cheerleader, Poet, Editor, Plotter and Reader. Ask one of them, or let them debate and sum up. Reader reactions takes the audience you pick, such as fantasy readers or a book club, writes a short reader report and marks the moments that landed, or didn't, in the margin of your manuscript.

Each issue is marked in the text with a suggested fix. Opening Checks never touches your prose. You accept a fix, ask for another, or discard it. [More about Checks](https://feldar.com/features#checks) #### The rest of the desk ##### Bring your manuscript with you Import a Word document, PDF, Markdown or plain text file, up to 20 MB.
