Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Prosewell and how it helps you write your best work.
What makes Prosewell different from other writing apps?
Prosewell is specifically designed for long-form prose like novels and memoirs. Unlike generic text editors, it includes a smart compendium to track your world-building, characters, and plot points, all integrated directly into your writing workflow. Crucially, we intentionally do not include AI ghostwriting tools—the AI is here to assist your writing, not replace it.
Is there a free version?
We offer a 7-day free trial so you can experience the full power of Prosewell. After the trial, membership is just $9/month.
Who owns my writing?
You do. 100%. We claim no rights to your work. You can export your work at any time.
Are my manuscripts and drafts private?
Yes, your writing is completely private. No one else has access to your manuscripts or drafts—not even our team. Your work is secure, confidential, and for your eyes only.
Do you use my writing to train AI?
Absolutely not. We use paid, enterprise-grade APIs that strictly prohibit training on your data. Your writing remains private and is never used to improve our models or the models of our AI partners.
How does the AI assistant work?
Our AI Clerk is designed to be a helpful editorial assistant, not a ghostwriter. It can help you brainstorm, critique your pacing, or find inconsistencies in your story, but it will never write the story for you unless you explicitly ask it to. Learn more about how we use AI at Prosewell.
