Built

I write, and I also build software, most of it for writers.

Free tools for writers

These are all free tools on The Write Practice that I built to help writers with a specific need.

Book Plan Generator

Turns an idea into a working plan for the book.

Query Letter Plus

Takes a full manuscript and returns three query letter variations and three lengths of synopsis in about five minutes, built on the structure of letters that have already landed publishing deals. Your manuscript is never used to train AI models.

Twig

Twig is a virtual developmental editor created by the team that built Dabble. You can upload a manuscript and get an editorial letter, a revision plan, and chapter-by-chapter notes back in about thirty minutes, for roughly a tenth of what a traditional developmental edit costs. I help build Twig and share it with the world.

Things I made for fun

And funnily enough, these are, by a wide margin, the most visited pages on this site.

Wordle Helper

Five letter words, sorted every way I could think of.
