Shaxpir (pronounced exactly like “Shakespeare”) is a modern cloud writing platform with a suite of tools designed specifically for fiction authors, building deep immersive worlds.

Every novel you write in Shaxpir has its own notebook, where you can flesh out the characters, places, and themes of your story. You can create cross-references between notes to keep track of character relationships, symbolism, or plot structure, and you can even attach your own concept artwork. It’s like having a private wikipedia for the world of your story.

Shaxpir uses cutting-edge linguistic algorithms to analyze your writing for vividness and sentiment. You can audit your writing for overuse of helping verbs and adverbs. You can plot the Emotional Journey of your characters, and highlight rhymes or alliteration. These tools help you be more mindful as a writer, and make deliberate choices about your narrative voice and pacing.

Shaxpir provides user with a modern web app, as well as desktop apps for Windows and Mac, so you can access your writing workspace from any device, any time. You can even work offline, from an airplane cabin on an overseas flight, or from a cabin in the woods. And your work will always be securely synchronized to the cloud and backed up for safety. You can even go back through your revision history and restore old versions of your content anytime.

We also keep a running tally of how many words you write each day (as well as how many minutes you spend writing) so that you can set goals and track your progress. It’s like having a fitness tracker, but for your writing life.

This is just the beginning! We’re working hard to build the next great platform for nurturing literature of every kind… So come join our writing community, and be a part of something incredible!
