Two ways to write

Own the Book Cycle, your way.

✎Write it yourself

“I write every word myself.”

You want to be able to show it. Studio records your writing in the background while you write, so there’s nothing extra to do. When you’re ready, send the proof with your manuscript.

Proof CapsuleNotary
👥Write with support

“I’d welcome some help.”

You want feedback without losing your voice. Ask the Writing Coach, or bring in an editor or co-author. Every suggestion waits for your yes, and your record shows who wrote what.

Writing Coach
What changes for you

Just write.
Let Studio do the heavy lifting.

✓

Your voice stays yours.

Every suggested change waits for your yes. Nothing gets rewritten behind your back.

💬

Get unstuck without a big budget.

When a chapter isn’t working, ask the Writing Coach about pacing, structure, or a character. It knows your whole book, and only you see the conversation.

🛡

Answer any doubt.

If someone asks whether you wrote it, you can show them, draft by draft. Your record builds in the background while you write.

Does chapter 12 drag? It feels slow, but I can’t tell why.
The middle of chapter 12 repeats what Liora already learned in chapter 9, so the tension pauses for about three pages.

Try cutting the second kitchen scene, or let her find out something new there.

Does this sound familiar?

“
I want to be able to show the work is mine.
“
I wrote it myself. What if a machine says I didn’t?
“It doesn’t sound like me anymore.”
“Which version is the right one?”
“I can’t afford ________.” Fill in the blank: editing, feedback, a second pair of eyes.

If you’ve written a book, you’ve probably thought at least one of these.

Provenance

prov·e·nance (noun): the place of origin or earliest known history of something

Provenance is like a family tree for your book. It shows where your book started, how it changed, and who made each change. Studio records it while you write.

Notary by Bookcicle

Built into Studio: proof of your book’s history

Notary captures that history. It saves a version of your book exactly as it is that day, with the date and a digital signature, and shows who wrote what: you, a collaborator, an editor, or AI. Make changes later, and they get a new date of their own. Anyone can check it.

THREE LEVELS OF PROOF
Local proofSaved on your own computer.
Cloud AttestSigned and dated by Bookcicle.

Studio keeps your book’s history. Bookcicle Capsule proves it when you’re ready to share.
How Studio handles it

Remember those? Here’s what changes.

❝

I want to be able to show the work is mine.

Studio keeps a record of how your book came together while you write. When you’re ready, download it as one file and send it with your manuscript.

Signed, dated proofProof Capsule
❝

I wrote it myself. What if a machine says I didn’t?

AI detectors guess from the finished page. Studio records your writing as it happens, so you have real evidence, not a guess.

Human authoring signals
❝

It doesn’t sound like me anymore.

You see every suggested change before it happens. Keep what fits, skip what doesn’t. Your voice stays yours.

❝

Which version is the right one?

Every version is saved. Compare them side by side and bring back the one you liked.

❝

I can’t afford ________.

You shouldn’t need a big budget to finish your book. Studio puts feedback, version history, and proof in one place, with AI there only if you choose to use it.

Why

Created for writers. By writers.

❝
I’m an author too. I wanted one place where my drafts, my stories, and the record of how I wrote my books could live together, so I’d never have to defend my work with a folder of screenshots. So we built it.—  Krysta
Author and co-founder of Bookcicle
📈

Evidence, not a guess.

Studio isn’t an AI detector. It records your writing as it happens, so your record is built on what you did, not on a guess about the finished page.

👁

Honest about the record.

Your record shows what Studio saw while you wrote. If something happened outside Studio, the record says so rather than filling in the gap.

💬

Shaped by authors.

Studio is still growing, and every update is shaped by feedback from the writers using it.

Questions

Good questions, plain answers.

Yes, and we’d rather tell you that than pretend otherwise. Bring your draft in now: Studio marks it as imported, and everything you write from that day on is recorded. You can also save a Notary proof of your draft the day you bring it in, so you have a dated record that this version existed. Keep any earlier files or emails you have, too, because they add to your story.
No. Studio isn’t an AI detector. It keeps a record of how your book was written, and you choose when to share it.
No. You can write every word yourself. If you do use AI, it only suggests, and you keep what fits.
No. Your record builds while you write in Studio, whether or not you ever use AI. Your manuscript stays in your account, and nobody sees it until you choose to share it.
One file, called a Proof Capsule, that goes with your manuscript. They can open it and check the record behind your book.
Not inside the EPUB itself. Your record travels as its own file, a Proof Capsule, that goes alongside your book. Anyone can open it and check it against your exact manuscript.
Only the people you choose. Your files stay yours, and you can delete your story from Bookcicle at any time.
Partly. Every free Bookcicle account includes local proofs. The Studio app, Cloud Attests, and Anchors come with a paid plan, which you can try free for 14 days. Checking a Proof Capsule someone sends you is always free.
A Bookcicle account, a Studio subscription, and a Mac or Windows computer. Every subscription starts with a 14-day free trial. See plans
No. A notary public checks your ID. Bookcicle Notary doesn’t: it vouches for your work, not your identity. It shows that a version of your work existed exactly as it was on a certain date, at three levels:

Local proof (free): saved on your own computer.
Cloud Attest: signed and dated by Bookcicle.
Anchor: a fingerprint of your work recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain, a public record no one can change, not even us.

Each level gives you stronger proof that’s easier for others to trust. Cloud Attests and Anchors come with paid plans.
No. Bookcicle doesn’t use your manuscript to train AI, and the AI providers we work with are barred by contract from using it to train theirs. Your work stays yours.
