Write Your Novel. Your Way.
Hatchline is the web-first writing platform built for novelists. Organize, write, and get AI-powered craft feedback — without the AI ever writing a word for you.
What Hatchline Does Differently
Authorship verification tools
Hatchline watches your work and understands your voice. We use 21 unique signals to verify the authenticity of your work, providing your agent, publisher, and others confidence that your work is truly your own.
AI as coach, not writer
Hatchline's AI Coaches review your work, providing support for pacing, character development, and more. We believe your work is yours, though, so your Coaches will never write for you.
Community oriented
Eager to for a writing group, without the pressure? Join our Write-Ins work alongside fellow authors in focused, distraction-free rooms. And when you're ready to expand your community, use these same rooms to seek out beta reader, swap feedback, and more.
Your Coach. Not Your Ghostwriter.
The Hatchline Coach gives you expert craft feedback on pacing, dialogue, structure, and more. It never generates prose. Your words stay yours.
World Class Tools at Your Fingertips
Deep, customizable worldbuilding
Space for your characters, locations, connections, maps, and anything else you can think of. Value a World Bible but don't have the time to extract it from your manuscript? Let our Brain Dump do the heavy lifting and build this for you in minutes, not hours.
Real-time editorial feedback
Hatchline's Editorial mode reviews your manuscript and places comments and suggestions directly throughout your work, streamlining your editing process just like a human editor would.
Organization made easy
Utilize our Brain Dump feature to tame pages upon pages of notes into a core, actionable, part of your world bible.
