## What Typewriter is

Typewriter is book writing software for authors. The company sells a manuscript desk in the browser: binder, story bible, relationship map, and languages. An optional CoAuthor AI proposes changes you accept or reject. Optional hardware (Keyboard $299, Go $399, Typewriter $499) drafts into the same book. You can write and export without AI and without a device.

**Who it is for:** people writing real books — novels, memoir, long-form nonfiction, series.

**Who it is not for:** AI novel generators, KDP side-hustle factories, or a ChatGPT tab with no manuscript home.

## Desk capabilities

- **The book is a tree, not a folder.** — Chapters and scenes in one binder. Drag to reorder. Nest without breaking the draft. Stop hunting v7_FINAL.docx.
- **Her eye color lives next to the chapter.** — Cast, places, rules, plot threads — in the rail, not a second app. Book three can match book one.
- **Who owes whom. On a graph.** — Relationships as a map so the series stays legible. No spreadsheet of who is whose cousin.
- **Type the language you write in.** — Hindi, Arabic, Chinese, and more — live transliteration on the page. One manuscript. Many scripts.
- **It asks before it writes.** — Stuck on a scene? It can see binder and bible. It suggests. You tap yes or no. Close the dock when you're writing.
