The Last Letter

The envelope had sat on the kitchen table for three days, propped against the salt cellar as if it were afraid to lie flat. Marina had walked past it every morning, her eyes sliding away the way they did from mirrors lately.

She made coffee. She watched the garden.

What you get

Everything a writer needs. All in one place.

gowrite is built around one idea: the writer is always the author. Every tool here exists to unlock your voice, not replace it.

Distraction-free editor

A clean, focused writing environment with autosave, chapter management, and a focus mode that hides everything but your words.

AI writing assist

Select any passage and get suggestions on prose, structure, tone, and alternatives. The AI suggests - you decide. Always.

12 genre templates

Start with the right structure from day one. Thriller, memoir, romance, business guide, children's picture book, poetry, and more.

Progress tracking

Word counts per chapter and manuscript total. Session timers. Completion milestones. Small numbers that keep you moving.

One-click publishing

Design your cover and publish your ebook to your gowrite storefront, where readers read it right in their browser. Export to EPUB or PDF too, with print-on-demand an optional extra - all from one dashboard.

Your author storefront

A public page at gowrite.com/author/you where readers can discover and buy your work directly. Your book. Your royalties.

Pick your genre. Start writing in minutes.

Every template comes with chapter structure and writing prompts tailored to your genre. No blank page anxiety.

How it works

One app. The whole journey.

1

Pick from 12 templates. Your chapters are pre-structured and ready to fill.

2

Plan your story

Map out your beats with Save the Cat or your own structure before you write a word.

3

Write your story

Use the distraction-free editor. AI suggestions are one click away - never automatic.

5

Publish and sell

Sell direct from your author page, where readers read right in their browser. Export and print-on-demand optional.

AI writing assist

Your voice. Always.

The AI is your reader, not your ghostwriter. It notices things - a clunky sentence, a tonal shift, a missed opportunity - then offers options. You choose what to keep.

  • Polish prose - tighten sentences, improve flow
  • Check structure - is this scene working?
  • Suggest alternatives - explore different choices
  • Adjust tone - warmer, darker, funnier, sharper
  • Free tier: 5 assists/day - enough to feel the value
Writer
Polish prose: “She walked past it every morning, her eyes sliding away the way they did from mirrors lately.”
gowrite
The line is already strong - the mirror comparison is evocative. You might consider: “…the way they had from mirrors since everything changed.” This raises a question in the reader's mind without answering it. Entirely optional - the original works beautifully too.
AI Authorship Record

Transparently yours.

The rules are tightening. Amazon KDP now requires disclosure of AI-generated content, major literary prizes are adding human-authorship clauses, and readers are quick to reject anything that reads machine-made. “Did a human write this?” is becoming a question every author has to answer.

gowrite helps you answer it. It logs every AI assist as you write and measures how much of your manuscript passed through gowrite’s AI, so your finished book carries an AI authorship record - a clear, honest account of what happened in your editor, to point to when a distributor, prize, or reader asks. The AI advises; you stay the author. (It tracks AI used inside gowrite, not text generated elsewhere and pasted in.)
