How it works
One notebook, two equal workspaces.
Literature Notebook treats reading other people's work and creating your own as the same practice seen from two directions. Review and Write share one account, one library of people and concepts, and the same three categories: Fiction, Nonfiction and Scholarly.
Notebook Free is available at no cost. Notebook Plus is $10 a month or $100 a year and Studio is $18 a month or $180 a year, each with a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers — one trial per account. Payments and subscription management are handled by Stripe.
Workspace one
Review
For works created by other people that you read closely.
1. Add the work
Record a novel, a memoir, a monograph or a journal article with the metadata that matters for that kind of text.
2. Capture passages
Save excerpts with their location, your note and a category, so a quote still carries its context months later.
3. Analyze and compare
Work through adaptive analysis pages, then set works side by side to see where they agree and where they break.
Workspace two
Write
For original works you are planning, drafting, developing and finishing.
1. Start the project
Choose Fiction, Nonfiction or Scholarly and get planning pages built for that form, not a generic outline.
2. Draft in sections
Build a hierarchy of parts, chapters and scenes with live word counts and per-section status.
3. Revise deliberately
Run named revision passes, track flagged items by priority, and log sessions against your own goals.
Where the two sides meet
A passage you saved while reviewing can become a source attached to a section of your own draft. The Connections view keeps that lineage visible, so you always know which reading fed which piece of your writing.
