Built around the whole book
PocketAuthor connects the material behind your book, the writing itself and the work required to prepare editions for readers. One project stays the source of truth from first note to finished book.
From source to reader
Start at the stage you are in today. Each workspace keeps the book—not a generic document—as the organizing object.
Start with notes, interviews, transcripts or an existing draft. Organize the material around a reader promise, then move from parts to chapters, scenes and sections without losing the source trail.
Draft in a focused, responsive editor with local autosave, recovery snapshots and asynchronous sync. Search, read aloud, dictate and move between chapters without turning the manuscript into one enormous page.
Collect sources, quotes and interviews in the project. Connect factual passages to evidence, mark unsupported claims for review and see where a source is used before the manuscript reaches an editor.
Separate structural, developmental, line, copy, fact-check and proofreading passes. Keep snapshots, cuts and comments attached to the work so collaborators can review the right material at the right time.
Prepare ebook, paperback, hardcover, large-print, audio and translation work from a canonical manuscript. Edition-specific formatting can change while content provenance stays visible.
Create reader previews and manuscript-grounded marketing assets, then track distribution requirements without rebuilding the book in disconnected tools.
A calmer author workspace
Local-first drafting protects momentum when a connection drops. Background work such as indexing and sync stays away from the typing path, while battery saver can reduce nonessential processing during long sessions.
Turning anyone into an author
Begin with a blank chapter, an outline, a source library or an existing manuscript.
