How can we make Sudowrite better?

Please tell us how we improve Sudowrite for you.

Standalone Chat Interface for Muse

Please consider introducing a minimalist, chat-first interface powered by the Muse modelβ€”similar to ChatGPT or Claudeβ€”for writers who find the standard Story Bible and multi-panel editor overwhelming. While Muse is exceptionally strong at fiction, many users simply want to paste a plot and co-write or expand multi-part stories conversationally through direct prompts without configuring complex project settings. A streamlined chat mode would capture the large audience of storytellers currently settling for general-purpose LLMs, offering a frictionless creative writing experience while acting as an accessible entry point to Sudowrite’s advanced toolset.

Manuscript automatic updates changes in the Story Bible

Actually the manuscript doesn't automatically update the changes we make in the Story Bible. The Story Bible though is a central part of sudowrite. The way how I develop a story more often than not I start with few people and also few locations. During writing new ideas, personas, locations and so on pop only then up. So to be forced each time when a change in the Story Bible is made to copy ALL the chapters already written, so that the manuscript integrates these changes is a NO GO! Sorry folks, your tool is astonishing and I LOVE to work with it. I just can’t understand that this feature hasn’t been developed from the beginning. So I gently ask you to develop this an integrate this in one of your next updates. Thank you for reading. For any questions feel free to contact me. Cheers

line- and paragraph-level font control

Sudowrite currently applies one font across the whole document. I'd like to be able to set a different font on individual lines or paragraphs. The use case is multi-voice interiority. My protagonist shares her head with several spirits, and all of them speak to her without quotation marks β€” naked dialogue, no speech tags. That's a deliberate choice: tags would slow the exchanges down and flatten the immediacy, which is the whole point of the technique. But it means that on the page, her own thoughts and three or four separate spirit voices are typographically identical. The reader has nothing to hold onto. Italics can only do so much here. They mark interiority in general; they can't distinguish one interior voice from another. A per-line font assignment would let each voice have a stable visual identity that the reader learns within a page or two and then reads without conscious effort β€” the same way a script distinguishes speakers, but without the intrusion of a tag. This isn't a niche problem. Any book with an internal chorus, a possessed narrator, a hive mind, an AI in someone's ear, or a split personality runs into it. Right now the workaround is drafting elsewhere and hand-formatting after export, which means the manuscript in Sudowrite never reflects the manuscript I'm actually writing β€” and the AI tools can't see the distinction either. What would cover it: Assign a font to a selected line or paragraph Save a handful of named voice fonts to reuse across a project Have the assignment survive export to DOCX Character-level control would be a bonus, but line and paragraph would solve the problem as I have it.

Text-to-Speech and Audible-Style Story Playback

I think one feature that would really help writers is a text-to-speech option that reads our stories back to us. Sometimes hearing the words is just as important as seeing them. Some ideas: 🎧 Audible-style playback of stories πŸ—£οΈ Natural AI voices that read chapters aloud πŸ”„ Background listening while editing or writing ⚑ Adjustable playback speeds 🎭 Different voices for different characters 🌧️ Optional ambient sounds or background music ✍️ Helps catch mistakes, improve pacing, and hear dialogue more naturally I think being able to both read and listen to our stories would help writers connect with their work on a deeper level and make the editing process much more effective.

Rewrite needs improving

I really think Rewrite should only use credits if you actually implement a complete change it wrote into the draft. OR it shows you a preview of what it’s going to generate, which you can refresh for something new and add instructions each time if it’s off which it tends to be, and it only costs credits if you generate it. It wastes so many credits because it just doesn’t get it right despite my instructions and I have to keep redoing it over and over. To bypass this, I use chatgpt to get it right and then Sudowrites β€œshow, don’t tell” rewrite feature because chatgpt is TERRIBLE at that. But thats so many extra hoops I have to jump through solely because Sudowrites Rewrite feature is EXTREMELY hit or miss. Like roulette tbh. And it’s an easy fix too…
