SecondWriter is an AI-powered novel writing studio that works like a choose-your-own-adventure game. At each plot point, you're presented with two compelling story directions, each accompanied by custom storyboard images. You choose your path and watch your unique story unfold.

As you write, SecondWriter presents you with two AI-generated story beats at key decision points. Each option comes with a visual storyboard image that helps you envision the scene. You simply choose the direction that excites you most, and your story continues down that path while maintaining your unique voice and style.

The free plan includes 10,000 total words across all your novels, unlimited text chat with characters, basic AI assistance, story bible management, and manuscript export. It's perfect for trying out SecondWriter and starting your first novel!

The word limit is cumulative across all your novels. For example, if you have 3 novels with 2,000 words each, you've used 6,000 of your 10,000 free words. Upgrading to a paid plan increases your total word allowance significantly.

Voice chat lets you have spoken conversations with your characters using AI-generated voices that match their personalities. It's available in paid plans with monthly minute limits: 10 minutes for Starter ($9), 20 minutes for Writer ($19), and 40 minutes for Novelist ($39).

Voice chat minutes reset monthly on your billing date. For example, if you subscribe on the 15th, your minutes reset on the 15th of each month. Unused minutes don't roll over to the next month.

Yes! You can upgrade anytime and changes take effect immediately. When downgrading, the change takes effect at your next billing cycle, so you keep access to premium features until then.

No, SecondWriter is designed to be a creative partner, not a replacement for your creativity. It presents you with story options and visual inspiration, but you make all the creative decisions. You maintain complete ownership and control over your narrative.

Unlike other AI writing tools that try to write for you, SecondWriter gamifies the creative process. You get visual storyboards with each story choice, can chat with your characters, and generate concept art—all while maintaining complete creative control through an engaging, game-like interface.

Absolutely. You retain 100% ownership of all content created with SecondWriter, including the story, character interactions, storyboard images, and generated concept art. Your creative work remains your intellectual property.

Yes! SecondWriter adapts to any genre, offering story choices and visual storyboards that match your genre's conventions. Whether you're writing sci-fi, fantasy, romance, mystery, or literary fiction, the choices and imagery will fit your story's tone and style.

SecondWriter analyzes your existing writing to understand your unique voice, word choices, and narrative patterns. For optimal results, we recommend uploading 10,000 to 40,000 words of your work. Even with just 1,000 words, our AI can capture your essential writing style and ensure all generated options sound authentically like you.
