Self-pub
For self-publishing authors
Draft is free. Formatting is a later power-up. Not a hostage.
The mess
Your lane has a specific mess
Indie authors lose months in tool sprawl. Docs plus Scrivener plus ChatGPT plus formatter plus despair.
- Paying for AI months you don't draft
- Formatting tools while the plot is broken
- No series bible across trilogies
How Typewriter fits
Same desk. Built for this pain.
Typewriter collapses the draft stack. Free forever. Pro $4.99 for series bible. CoAuthor from $9 when stuck. Power-ups when you ship. KDP and Ingram still get files from export paths as you grow. Scrivener still wins pure Compile if that is your religion.
- Free drafting
- Bible for series indies
- CoAuthor plans when stuck
- Power-ups marketplace later
Questions
Straight answers
Does Typewriter format for KDP?
Draft and continuity first. Export on Typewriter Pro. Formatting power-ups expand on the roadmap. Many indies still use a dedicated formatter for final files.
Your book does not care which lane you picked.
It cares whether the draft has a home. Free desk. Honest upgrades.
