What it is

Storyloft is a writing, design, and publishing workspace for authors, available on the web and as desktop applications for macOS and Windows. Its manuscript editor works with Eddy, an AI editorial assistant that can analyze text in context and suggest edits. Eddy can also research the web and save structured citations to the manuscript library. Worldbuilding and illustration tools help organize characters, scenes, and artifacts while maintaining a consistent visual style. Authors can use book themes and cover design tools, then export print and ebook files, including EPUB; manuscripts can also be exported as PDF or DOCX. Storyloft says files can be prepared for services such as Kindle Direct Publishing and IngramSpark. The free plan covers one manuscript of up to 5,000 words, 10 image credits, and 20 Eddy conversations; writing beyond the word limit requires an upgrade. Storyloft Pro costs $39 a month, and Lifetime Access costs 399.00 USD once. The maker says private project content is not used to train AI models, Eddy acts only when authors request it, and the AI features can be left unused.
