Frequently asked questions

What is NovLore?

NovLore is a digital writing studio for novelists: standalone novels, sagas, trilogies and series. In one place you organise your book’s structure chapter by chapter, develop characters and plot, write with a dedicated editor and — only when you want to — let artificial intelligence work alongside you.

Who is NovLore for?

For fiction writers, from first-time authors to seasoned ones, who want a single tool to plan and write a novel instead of scattering notes, character sheets and drafts across different documents. No technical skills required: you write from your browser, with nothing to install.

What do I get when I sign up with the free plan?

Signing up is free and gives you a complete writing studio right away:

• your novel library;
• the writing editor with automatic saving as you write;
• the book structure organised into chapters;
• character sheets;
• the plot panel;
• three visual themes designed for long writing sessions without eye strain;
• the ability to write in 31 languages;
• book download to your device, always available.

Artificial intelligence features are not included in the free plan.

How does the writing editor work?

The editor lets you write chapter by chapter in a clean interface with fonts designed for reading, and saves automatically as you write. Alongside your writing you’ll find panels dedicated to the book’s structure, characters and plot, so your whole narrative world is always at hand.

Why does the editor have so few formatting tools?

It’s a deliberate choice. NovLore is not a page-layout program: you get three typefaces chosen for readability, a handful of sizes, bold, italic, underline, text alignment and the scene break. Nothing else.

A novel isn’t written by picking colours, margins and dozens of fonts: that time is time taken away from the story, and every extra tool is one more temptation to tidy up the look of the page instead of writing the next scene.

The visual side comes later, once the book is finished: you download the text in Word, HTML, Markdown or TXT and take it wherever you like — a publisher, a self-publishing service, a typesetter. Here only one thing counts: writing.

What is the role of artificial intelligence in NovLore?

AI is an assistant, not an author. It is there to generate ideas through chat, correct spelling and suggest improvements to the text you have written.

The author always remains at the centre of the writing: AI steps in only when you call on it, and every suggestion must be accepted by you — nothing changes in your book without an explicit action on your part.

Does the AI write the book for me?

No. NovLore is built around the writer: the voice, the narrative choices and the text belong to the author. AI offers focused support — an idea to unblock a scene, a spelling correction, a suggested improvement to a passage you select — but the book is the fruit of your work.

Which artificial intelligences does NovLore work with?

NovLore relies on the best artificial intelligences available — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and others — using the most suitable model for each task. If a provider is unreachable, another takes over automatically, with no interruption for the writer.

Are the AI features paid?

Yes. Artificial intelligence features are available on specific paid plans, designed around how intensively you use AI. Writing, book organisation and downloads always remain available, including on the free plan. Plan details are shown when you sign up.

Who owns the book I write on NovLore?

The author, always. The owner of the book is the person who writes it, not the website: NovLore claims no rights over the books, chapters, characters or notes you create.

Intellectual property and copyright remain entirely yours; the platform processes your content only to the technical extent needed to provide the service (saving it, showing it to you, letting you download it). Details are in the Terms of Service.

Are my texts private? Does the AI train on them?

Your content is private and visible only to you. Data is sent to an artificial intelligence provider only when you voluntarily activate an AI feature, and only to process that specific request. If you don’t use AI, your texts are never sent to any external provider.

Full details are in the Privacy Policy.

Can I download my book?

Yes — always, on any plan, including the free one. You can download your book in TXT, Markdown, Word and HTML formats at any time: your texts are never locked into the platform.

How many languages can I write in?

You can write your book in 31 languages, including regional variants such as American English, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and Canadian French. When you use AI, suggestions arrive in the language of your book.

The site interface is available in Italian, English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Indonesian.

Can I lose what I write?

The editor saves automatically as you write. Before applying any change suggested by the AI, NovLore keeps a copy of the previous text, and you can also save a version manually: an AI intervention never makes you lose what you had written.

If you delete a book or chapter by mistake, it goes to the trash and can be recovered within 30 days.

Which devices does NovLore work on?

NovLore is a web application: it runs in the browser on computers, tablets and smartphones, with nothing to install. Your texts are saved to your account and you’ll find them on any device you sign in from.

How do I sign in? Do I need a password?

No password to remember: sign in with a one-time code you receive by email, or with your Google account.

Can I let someone read my book before publishing it?

Yes. You can generate a private reading link for your beta readers: whoever receives it reads the book in the browser, no account needed. The link expires, so you stay in control of who reads and for how long.

How do I manage or cancel my subscription? What happens to my books?

You manage your subscription from your Account area. Cancelling stops the renewal: you keep using the plan until the end of the period you have already paid for, then you return to the free plan.

Your books remain yours and stay where they are, and downloading is always possible.

Is NovLore available yet? How can I try it?

NovLore is in private beta: we are polishing the service with a group of real writers. From the home page you can leave your email to be notified as soon as sign-ups open.
