COPPER PACKAGE

EmberWrite

EmberWrite is the zero-AI writing app built to help your writing process flow. You can write, world-build, and organize your research in one intuitive, focused space. From goals and word-count tracking to scene tagging to “ready for social” snippet-sharing tools, EmberWrite offers a complete workspace for writing your story.

EmberWrite was built by:

Paul Burgess, a developer who wanted to write, but couldn’t get started because no tools could help him make sense of the writing process
Micah McGuire, a fantasy writer who had been writing since she could hold a pen, but was fed up with not understanding 80% of the writing app she’d used for 15 years.

Alongside a community of writers who tested EmberWrite with their projects and gave feedback on what they needed and what they didn’t.

So stop fighting writing apps that get in the way of telling your story and try EmberWrite with a 30 day free trial at https://emberwrite.com

I will also consider a limited number of author proposals for representation. I assist with both fiction and non-fiction works.
You can learn to hone your craft through my writing workshops and the in-house publication, The Elements of Short Fiction: A Practical Guide for Writers.

At Frontlist Editorial, I believe that everyone has a story to tell and that every story deserves to be told with clarity, style, and impact.
