I'm a big fan of Sudowrite and currently use it to write children’s and middle grade books, with plans to move into YA and adult fiction soon. I particularly enjoy using the Story Bible tools such as Braindump and Synopsis — they suit my creative process really well.
However, I’d love to request a feature that would make Sudowrite even more powerful and helpful for authors working on full-length stories across a range of age groups:
Feature: Intelligent Chat Assistant with Full Manuscript Awareness
It would be brilliant to have a tool that:
Can read and understand the entire manuscript (not just one chapter at a time)
Allows open-ended questions like:
“Are there any plot holes?”
“Is the pacing appropriate for middle-grade readers?”
“Are the characters’ motivations consistent?”
“Which scenes drag or feel unnecessary?”
“Is the ending satisfying for the intended audience?”
Provides story-wide insight, not just paragraph-level tweaks
Works well without needing to use the Canvas, as I prefer a simpler, more linear workflow using the Story Bible
Why This Matters:
At the moment, I often copy and paste sections into ChatGPT to get this kind of detailed feedback, which takes time and breaks my creative flow.
I'd much prefer to keep everything inside Sudowrite, especially as the Story Bible already understands my tone and characters.
A feature like this would be incredibly helpful not only for children’s books, but also for the more layered stories I’ll be writing in YA and adult fiction.
Ideal Features:
Full access to the manuscript and its context
Integration with the Story Bible (characters, themes, tone)
A flexible chat interface for asking questions about plot, pacing, arcs, and age suitability
Usable without Canvas, for writers who prefer to work in a more straightforward, document-focused way
Thanks so much for everything you’ve built so far — Sudowrite has already transformed my writing experience, and this kind of feature would make it even more powerful for writers like me.
Warm regards,
[A grateful writer working across multiple age groups]
