There’s a Book in You. Let’s Get It Out.
That idea you’ve been carrying around? The story you’ve always wanted to tell? The expertise you’ve spent a lifetime collecting? It deserves more than a folder of unfinished notes and a promise to get started someday.
Meet GhostWrite, your intelligent book-writing companion. From the first flicker of inspiration to the final beautifully typeset page, GhostWrite brings everything you need to plan, write, edit, design, and prepare your book for publication into one extraordinary creative studio.
You bring the imagination.We’ll help with the heavy lifting.
Made for authors. Powered by AI. Created by Codira.
Writing a Book Is Hard Enough. The Software Shouldn’t Be.
You have a story to tell, not a dozen applications to master. Yet somewhere between organizing your ideas, wrestling with chapter outlines, editing your manuscript, formatting pages, and figuring out how publishing works, the joy of writing can get buried beneath a mountain of technical details.
That’s where GhostWrite comes in.
Imagine having a thoughtful writing partner, a meticulous editor, an organized research assistant, and a talented book designer all working together in one beautiful workspace. No bouncing between applications. No wondering whether your formatting will survive the next export. No losing track of that brilliant idea you had three chapters ago.
Just you, your book, and a little help from a very clever ghost.
One Brilliant Idea. One Beautiful Book. One Place to Make It Happen.
GhostWrite isn’t just another AI writing tool that hands you a wall of text and wishes you luck. It’s a complete book creation studio, thoughtfully designed to guide your work from the earliest idea to professional publishing files.
Whether you’re writing the next great novel, sharing your life story, building your professional reputation through a business book, or finally tackling that manuscript you’ve been thinking about for years, GhostWrite brings every part of the process together.
Meet the Writing Partner Who Actually Knows What You’re Writing.
Ever asked an AI writing tool for help with Chapter 12, only to discover it has absolutely no idea what happened in Chapter 11?
Awkward.
GhostWrite takes a smarter approach. Its intelligent writing assistant works with your book’s structure, chapter plans, established characters, important concepts, and previously developed material. Instead of treating every request like a conversation with a stranger, it brings relevant context into the creative process.
Need help developing a scene? Strengthening an argument? Finding a better transition? Working through a chapter that just isn’t coming together? GhostWrite can help you explore possibilities, develop ideas, and improve your writing without losing sight of the bigger picture.
And here’s the important part: GhostWrite doesn’t take over your manuscript. Every proposed AI revision is yours to review, accept, or reject. The creative decisions always remain in your hands.
It’s collaboration, not autopilot.
Your Voice Is Your Superpower. Let’s Keep It That Way.
There’s only one person in the world who writes quite like you. And frankly, we think that’s worth protecting.
Your favorite expressions, your sentence rhythm, your sense of humor, the way you explain complicated ideas or build suspense—those little details are what make your writing yours. They’re also the first things that can disappear when generic AI starts rewriting everything in its own relentlessly enthusiastic voice.
GhostWrite’s Voice Studio approaches the problem differently. It analyzes measurable characteristics of your writing, builds a profile of your style, and helps keep AI suggestions aligned with the way you naturally communicate.
Its Voice Guardian checks proposed writing against your established patterns and helps you spot passages that don’t sound quite right.
Because the goal isn’t to make you sound like artificial intelligence.
It’s to help you sound like the very best version of yourself.
What You See Is What They’ll Read.
Most writing software makes you imagine what your finished book might look like. GhostWrite would rather show you.
Write directly on beautifully typeset pages that reflect the actual dimensions, typography, spacing, and page breaks of your finished book. Watch your words become chapters, your chapters become pages, and your pages become something that looks remarkably like the book you’ve been dreaming about.
Choose from professional book designs, customize your typography, create distinctive chapter openings, and arrange images, tables, and other elements right where they belong.
And because GhostWrite uses the same typesetting engine for the screen and the final print PDF, your beautifully arranged pages don’t have to endure a mysterious transformation when it’s time to publish.
No formatting gymnastics. No unpleasant surprises. Just the satisfaction of seeing your book come to life as you create it.
Even Brilliant Writers Need a Good Editor.
Especially brilliant writers.They’re usually the ones who have rewritten the same paragraph seventeen times.
Great books aren’t simply written. They’re shaped, polished, questioned, rearranged, and occasionally rescued from sentences that seemed like a wonderful idea at two in the morning.
GhostWrite gives you a collection of intelligent and practical editorial tools to help make that process a little less painful and a lot more productive.
Catch repeated passages, inconsistent names, overused words, and structural problems before they become embarrassing surprises. Establish your own house style so spelling, punctuation, and formatting stay consistent. Review tracked changes, add comments, and exchange Word documents with editors without losing the conversation around your manuscript.
Some checks are powered by AI. Others use straightforward software rules to identify issues that don’t require creative guesswork.
The result is a more thoughtful editing process, with fewer distractions and more confidence in the words you’re putting into the world.
A Place for Every Brilliant Idea. Even the Ones You Had at 2 A.M.
Writing a book means keeping track of an astonishing number of details. Characters develop personalities, timelines become complicated, research piles up, and that important idea you absolutely meant to remember somehow disappears into the digital wilderness.
GhostWrite helps you keep the moving pieces connected.
Organize characters, places, events, important terminology, story threads, and research in a dedicated notebook that lives alongside your manuscript. Build a clearer picture of your book’s world, keep important details within reach, and reduce the time you spend hunting for information you know you wrote down somewhere.
For academic, legal, and research-heavy projects, GhostWrite also supports footnotes, bibliographies, and established citation styles, including Chicago, Bluebook, and OSCOLA.
Whether you’re building an imaginary kingdom or explaining a very real legal principle, there’s a place for the details that matter.
From “Once Upon a Time” to “Look, I Wrote a Book!”
There’s something magical about seeing your words become a real book. Not a document. Not a collection of pages in a word processor. An actual book, with beautiful typography, thoughtfully designed chapters, a proper title page, and a cover that brings the whole thing together.
GhostWrite helps you make that transformation without becoming a professional book designer along the way.
Choose elegant layouts, prepare your front and back matter, design chapter openings, and calculate cover dimensions using your book’s actual typeset page count. When everything is ready, GhostWrite checks your project for potential publishing issues and helps you prepare the files needed for print and digital distribution.
Create print-ready PDFs for services such as Amazon KDP and IngramSpark, generate EPUB ebooks, export Word manuscripts, or prepare InDesign-compatible packages for further professional design work.
You can even prepare narrated audiobook content using your own ElevenLabs account.
The book is yours.The possibilities are pretty exciting.
Different Stories. Different Authors. One Very Helpful Ghost.
There are a thousand reasons to write a book. You don’t need a publishing contract, a literature degree, or a mysterious cabin in the woods to get started.
You just need something worth saying.
