Draft is free. Formatting is a later power-up — not a hostage.

Indie authors lose months in tool sprawl: Docs + Scrivener + ChatGPT + formatter + Vellum cousin + despair.
Typewriter collapses the draft stack. Power-ups handle ship tools when you are ready. KDP and Ingram still get files from export paths as you grow.
Pain this desk solves
- Paying for AI months you don't draft
- Formatting tools while the plot is broken
- No series bible across trilogies
How Typewriter fits
- Core free drafting
- Bible for series indies
- Prepaid AI packs
- Power-ups marketplace later
FAQ
Does Typewriter format for KDP?
Draft and continuity first. Export on Writer+. Formatting power-ups expand on the roadmap — many indies still use a dedicated formatter for final files.
