For novelists who write every word themselves

Journzy is a writing studio for novelists who would rather write the book themselves. You do the writing. The AI reads alongside you, flags anything that jars, and shows you the line it found. It never writes, rewrites or continues a sentence.

Your voice stays in the book

Plenty of AI tools are happy to offer you the next scene. Journzy will not, on any plan. It reads your pages against your story bible and your notes, and each flag shows you the quoted line from your manuscript and the fact it clashes with. Then you decide whether to touch it, and how.

Your manuscript and your ideas stay out of model training unless you want them in and say so explicitly. The details are on the trust page.

An example: The Last Tide

We wrote a sample novel, The Last Tide, so we could show you how this works. A fishing boat sinks off the Galician coast, and an insurance investigator comes home to the village where she grew up. Then small things slip. Diego has brown eyes in chapter 2. By chapter 5, standing in the lighthouse light, they are green. Journzy flags that scene and pulls the earlier line from chapter 2.

  • Inés and Diego have not spoken for ten years, yet one scene has them last speaking “last summer”.
  • Elsewhere the boat is “eighteen metres long”, while the registry note you keep in References gives 14.2.

Then there is a flag that needs no fixing. Carmen says her brother “never drank a drop at sea”, and the bible says otherwise. Carmen is lying. The author clicks “Keep as written”, because a character who lies is a literary choice, and the last word stays with her.

Revise your own text

  • Style lenses. Repetition, rhythm, clichés, voice and readability, marked up right in your text. On the Free plan.
  • Grammar and style. The rules for the language you write in, Spanish dialogue dashes and quotes included. On the Free plan.
  • Versions. Before you rewrite a chapter, take a snapshot. Compare it later, and restore what you want.
  • Beta readers. Share one version with a reader, then read their comments alongside your text. Your work in progress stays out of view.
  • Export. DOCX for your agent or publisher, EPUB and print PDF, on every plan.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI in Journzy write or rewrite my text?

No, not on any plan. It reads your manuscript, holds it against your bible and your notes, and flags what does not fit, with the quote. Every change is yours to make.

Do you use my manuscript to train models?

No, unless you want us to and say so explicitly. While that permission is off, no line of your manuscript is kept for training.

Can I use Journzy with no AI features at all?

Yes. The Free plan has no feature that calls a paid AI, and you get the editor, the bible, the style lenses, versions, beta readers and export.

What if a flag points to something I did on purpose?

Click “Keep as written”. An unreliable narrator or a lying character is a literary device, and the last word is yours.
