Built by Authors, for Authors
We're on a mission to create the writing tool we always wished existed.
Why We Built Author's Forge
It started with a simple frustration: Why do writers have to choose between powerful features and a clean writing experience? Why do we have to surrender our work to the cloud just to access it on different devices? Why are we forced to adapt our creative process to fit the limitations of software built for business documents?
As authors ourselves, we've struggled with every writing tool out there. Google Docs loses formatting and chokes on large manuscripts. Microsoft Word wasn't built for books. Scrivener is powerful but overwhelming. And don't get us started on the "AI writing" tools that want to write your book for you.
So we decided to build something different.
Author's Forge isn't just another writing app. It's a commitment to the idea that authors deserve tools that respect their craft, their privacy, and their ownership. Every feature is designed around how authors actually work - from organizing series to exporting for publishers.
We believe the best writing happens when the tool disappears and all that's left is you and your words. That's the experience we're building. One author, one feature at a time.
Our Mission & Values
To empower every author with tools that respect their craft, privacy, and creative process.
Authors First
Every decision we make starts with one question: Does this help authors write better?
Privacy & Ownership
Your work is yours. We never see it, store it, or claim any rights to it. Ever.
Simplicity & Power
Powerful features don't have to be complicated. We obsess over making the complex simple.
No Lock-in
Your work should never be trapped. Export everything, anytime, in standard formats.
