About Us
What started in 2023 as a one-person passion project has since grown into a bootstrapped company full of spirited storytellers.
No fancy venture capital here - just grit and determination.
We believe the status quo of bringing ideas to market is too fragmented, convoluted, and expensive for the average person. While anyone can technically pick up a free writing app and get started, most stories never see the light of day.
Our vision is simple:
A world where everyone can easily tell and share their stories.
How are we making that happen? By building tools that take you from "what if" to "the end" and beyond. Whether English isn't your first language or your brain works a little differently.
At Novelcrafter, we're making writing accessible to everyone:
- No matter your background or abilities, we've got you covered. Maybe you need tools that are easier to use, or perhaps you're looking for a distraction-free environment.
- We know how important it is for your writing tools to fade into the background. When inspiration strikes, you shouldn't be fumbling with complicated software. Our goal is to keep things simple, so you can focus on what really matters - your story.
- The power of AI can help you write in languages you're not quite fluent in. And the best part? You'll be improving your skills along the way.
- Speaking of AI, we see it as a tool to empower writers, not replace them. That's why we're building a platform that helps you write, rather than a one-click solution that writes for you. After all, your story is uniquely yours - we're just here to help you tell it.
