About

I'm Pat. By day I'm a software architect, and I've been building software for over 30 years. By night, on weekends and any time Claude hasn't cut me off for the day, I build Chaptery, a writing app for authors on Mac and Windows. It started as a tool for my two teenagers, who are aspiring authors and turned into a passion project as I learned that both independent and traditional authors, best selling to working on their first book, all struggled with some of the same problems with traditional tools.

Chaptery - An authoring tool for novelists with your world built in

Chaptery is a authoring environment for novelists, on Mac and Windows. Your manuscript and your world live in one place: characters, locations, events and the relationships between them, a storyboard to plot it all, and series that share one world. Save a revision at every milestone. Your world and storyboard open in the browser too. When the book is done, export a typeset PDF, EPUB or Word file. One plan with every feature, and a free trial to start.
