About FictionAI
AI writing software built by self-publishers, for self-publishers.
Our Mission
FictionAI exists to give indie authors the same kind of AI-assisted writing workflow that the big publishing houses are beginning to adopt — without the credit-based pricing games and vendor lock-in that dominate the space. We believe the authors doing the writing should keep control of the AI costs and the final manuscript.
The BYOK Philosophy
Most AI writing tools resell AI compute at a 2–5x markup wrapped in an opaque “credits” system. FictionAI charges a flat $9.99/month for the platform — the novel planner, editor, series manager, character and world tools, and the DOCX/EPUB export pipeline. For AI generation, you bring your own OpenRouter API key and pay providers directly at cost. A full 80,000-word novel typically costs $4–8 in AI on top of the subscription, depending on the model you choose.
This is deliberate. It means your writing costs scale with model prices — not with our margin — and the provider you trust (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc.) is the one you’re actually paying.
Who This Is For
FictionAI is used by Amazon KDP authors, Kindle Vella writers, Royal Road serialists, and fiction self-publishers who want to draft faster without losing their voice. The workflow — Dream, Draft, Deliver — is designed so that the author stays in control of every scene and export.
Editorial Standards
Our blog covers AI writing tools, KDP publishing strategy, genre craft, and the realities of running an indie author business. We follow a few rules:
- No AI-generated slop. Every post is edited by a human writer with real KDP publishing experience before it goes live.
- Transparent comparisons. When we compare FictionAI to Sudowrite, NovelCrafter, or any other tool, we show actual pricing on the date of the comparison and link to the competitor’s own pricing page so readers can verify.
- Methodology over marketing. Claims like “70% cheaper” are tied to specific competitor plans and specific use cases, not generic averages. If the math changes, we update the post.
- Corrections in public. If we get something wrong, the correction goes at the top of the post with a timestamp.
