Your November, start to finish.

The Scribsy editor with a sample story: names underlined in the chapter, and a character card beside the page, filled in from the book.

Real interface · sample story

  1. November 1

    Start with one line.

    Drop the image you can't shake into Brainstorm. Scribsy sorts your loose ideas into cards that quote your words.

  2. November 14

    Write. Scribsy does the filing.

    Every character, place and thing you invent gets a card built from your own pages. There's nothing to tag.

  3. November 30

    Your world still adds up.

    Close a chapter, and Scribsy points to lines that disagree, like an age that changed between chapters.

Brainstorm and continuity checks use cloud AI, and only for the books you choose. Private or Full story bible?

The Writer's Data Pledge

Your novel is yours.

That sounds obvious. In 2026, it needs a contract.

  • Your words never train a model.

    Never by default, and never by a setting you'd have to find. Silence means no.

  • Your choice, book by book.

    Nothing goes to cloud AI unless you choose Full story bible for that book. In Private, your words never leave Scribsy.

  • Everything exports, anytime.

    Take your work with you, for as long as Scribsy exists.

Questions about November Writing Month

What's a good NaNoWriMo alternative this November?

Scribsy opens as a free beta on November 1, 2026, built for writing a novel in November. Plan in Brainstorm, draft your chapters, and Scribsy keeps your world straight as the words pile up. Since NaNoWriMo closed, writers have kept the month going in their own ways, including the community-led NaNo 2.0 and ProWritingAid's Novel November challenge. Scribsy works alongside any of them: join the event you like, and write your book in Scribsy.

Can I use Scribsy for November Writing Month?

Yes. Scribsy was built for a 50,000-word November, and the free beta opens on November 1, 2026, in time for day one.

  • Plan if you like. Drop loose ideas into Brainstorm, or skip it and start on page one.
  • Write fast. Every character, place and thing you invent gets a card built from your own pages. There's nothing to tag.
  • Catch slips. In Full story bible, close a chapter and Scribsy points to lines that disagree.
  • Keep every sentence yours. There's no generate button.
How long is the beta, and is it free?

Scribsy opens as a free beta on November 1, 2026. It stays free until at least December 1. We'll tell you well before anything changes.

When can I start writing in Scribsy?

Scribsy's free beta opens on November 1, 2026. Join the waitlist, then confirm your email address: you're on the list once you confirm. From November 1, invitations go out by email in waves, in sign-up order, as capacity allows. Each one has a link to sign in.

Is NaNoWriMo happening in 2026?

The NaNoWriMo nonprofit closed in 2025, but the 50,000-word November sprint carries on independently, most visibly through the community-led NaNo 2.0. Many writers now call it November Writing Month.
