Threads Cross
The harbor fog hadn't lifted by noon, but Mara found the ledger anyway—waterlogged, wedged under the pier where the tide had thrown it.
Three names she didn't recognize. One of them matched the return address on the letter she'd found in the rain.

FAQ
Questions from fiction authors
Can I write books free with AI on Entangled Text?
Yes. You can write books free with AI here, no credit card required. Free built-in AI is included to start (outline + 1 new chapter/day; edits don’t use the slot; included AI — no setup). After signup, Story Wizard walks you from genre and cast to outline and Chapter 1 on your own book. Upgrade to Pro or Ultra for Kestrel — Pro / Ultra (better prose + monthly pool; Ultra is larger).
Do I need a paid subscription?
No. The free plan is the full AI book-writing studio — Story Wizard, outlines, chapter drafting, manuscript editing, EPUB export for Kindle/KDP, and free built-in AI to start. On Free, expect a full outline plus 1 new chapter per day (edits don’t use the slot; progress saves; resume after the daily reset). Free EPUB/DOCX downloads include a short Entangled Text foreword & afterword; the KDP zip omits them so uploads stay retailer-safe. Pro and Ultra remove attribution from all formats, add better prose AI with a monthly pool (Ultra is larger), and skip the Free queue.
How do I turn an AI draft into a KDP upload?
Finish the draft in Story Studio, then run cleanup and consistency tools, build a blurb and cover, and format for Kindle. Full walkthrough: entangledtext.com/ai-draft-to-kdp.
Do I need an API key?
No. Free, Pro, and Ultra use included Kestrel AI — no setup. Platform credentials power generation for your plan.
Can I edit a full manuscript?
Yes. Paste your book and AI revises chunk by chunk with inline diff review, you accept or reject every change before it is saved.
How much drafting do Pro and Ultra include?
Pro includes built-in drafting that resets each billing period. Rough finished-manuscript guide: about 83k–153 words per period (often ~1–2 novels of ~65k). Ultra is a larger pool of the same powerful model family. Outline, writing instructions/context, polish, retries, and edits all count — not raw output-only capacity.
What genres are supported?
Hand-tuned presets for sci-fi, fantasy, progression fantasy, LitRPG, cultivation, romance, thriller, horror, mystery, historical, young adult, and more — each tuned for commercial fiction pacing and tropes.
Can I export to Kindle / KDP?
Yes. Export finished manuscripts as EPUB, DOCX, PDF, or Markdown. Ship tab checklists help you bundle a manuscript ready for KDP and other stores.
Do I need an API key to write?
No. Free, Pro, and Ultra all use included Kestrel AI pools. Free plans use included Kestrel — Free; Pro and Ultra use Kestrel — Pro / Ultra with a monthly word allowance.
Pricing
