Who is Shy Editor best for?
Shy Editor is best for novelists who want to plan, draft, get AI feedback on and export a whole book in one app.
Novelists planning a book
The Story Engine turns a premise into a synopsis and chapter outline, and a knowledge base keeps track of every character, place and event.
Writers who want an editor's read
It critiques one chapter or the whole manuscript, points out plot holes and pacing problems, and ranks them into a revision plan.
Students and academics
The same editor handles citations in six styles, bibliographies and structured paper drafts, with a PDF library you can question.
Writing without a steady connection
Drafts are saved in the browser and sync when you are back online, although the AI features need a connection.
