Literess sits beside your manuscript. She reads it page by page and talks it through with you. Every change she proposes arrives as a suggestion you accept or reject, like the one above.
What she does
She reads the whole manuscript
Literess works through long documents page by page and keeps track of what happened where, so a note on chapter twelve can take chapter two into account.
She suggests. You decide.
Every change she proposes arrives as a tracked suggestion, in the text and in the review panel. Nothing changeslands in your draft until you accept it.
She talks in the margins
Comment on a sentence and she answers in the thread. She leaves her own notes the same way, like the ones on this page. Connect Claude or another assistant, and it joins the same threads.
The tide came in twice that night.
You Is this too on the nose?
Literess A little. Cut “twice” and let the reader count the tides.
Claude Agreed. Also, chapter 3 has the tide out at midnight.
She remembers
She keeps notes about your characters, your projects and the way you like to work. Ask her what she remembers, or ask her to forget it.
What Literess remembers
- Mara
- Left-handed. Never learned to swim. Lies about her age in chapter 2.
- You
- British spelling. No epigraphs. Writes late, edits in the morning.
- Saltworks
- Fourteen scenes, past tense, one narrator.
She notices when you're stuck
If you circle the same paragraph or go quiet for a long while, she may look in with a thought, the way she did at the top of this page. Most of the time she decides to stay out of it.
And the rest of the desk: a story map for your scenes, every earlier version of a document, export to Markdown and Notion, and her voice when you'd rather listen.
Invite-only for now
Literess is in a small beta. To join, write to [email protected] and tell us a little about what you're writing.
Free during the beta. Paid plans for long manuscripts and heavier use are planned for 2027.
