I built a writing tool because every AI editor I tried wanted to rewrite my book for me.
Hi everyone!
I'm in the middle of a fantasy series, and I kept running into the same problem with every AI writing tool I tried: they either overwrote everything until it didn't sound like me, or they were so cautious they basically just rephrased my sentences back at me.
What I actually needed was an editor that remembered what I wrote, the rhythm, the vocabulary, the weird sentence-level decisions that make it sound like me and flags when I don't. Not a co-writer. Not a generator. Just something that holds the voice while I do the writing.
So I built it.
Bouquin & Ink is a manuscript editor with:
- Voiceprint — measures your writing against your own baseline. You build the corpus on YOUR writing. It tells you where a chapter gets messy and your voice distorted, sentence by sentence. Not to "correct" it. To mirror it.
- Continuity tracking — catches the detail contradictions across chapters before your readers do (the edits you make on the job title of your character you changed 12 times until it was right, but forgot to go back and edit, the city name you spelled three different ways).
- Muse Board — for the days you want to write but can't find the door. Mood-driven, timed sprints, a fragment journal that you can send to your manuscript.
- Voice Verified provenance — tracks your writing history so when someone ask did you write this*,* the answer is already documented and hashed digitally.
- Three desk themes that change the atmosphere, not just the colors. I wanted immersion, because sometimes you want to change the room without leaving it.
It's in private beta right now. First 30 signups get in tonight. Founding pricing is locked for the first 250 writers or 90 days, whichever hits first.

Honest disclosures, because this community deserves them:
- Yes it uses AI. The AI is gated behind features that power the system but is clear about what's happening, not features that write for you.
- BYOK tier exists if you want to run it on your own API key.
- I'm a solo founder building this on my own infrastructure. Privacy is important to me and for anyone using my systems.
- AMA. I'd rather take the hard questions than the soft ones, hit me.
