DeepQuill is early software. Some things are still rough. We’re building it in close collaboration with a small group of novelists who care deeply about craft, revision, and long-form coherence.

If you enjoy shaping tools instead of just consuming them, you’ll fit right in.

Why this exists

DeepQuill is being built by a novelist and software engineer who was frustrated by juggling editors, notes, spreadsheets, and wikis while revising long projects.

The goal isn’t productivity hacks or automation—it’s mental clarity while writing.
