AuthorImpact

The software we built for writing books.

AuthorImpact is our own writing platform. Every author we publish writes their book in it, and you can use it on your own too.

Built by a publisher, not a tech company. That is the whole difference.

Why it exists

The hard part of writing a book is not the words. It is knowing what to write next, and knowing whether what you just wrote is any good.

Every tool we tried solved the wrong problem. Word gives you a blank page. Project tools give you a to-do list. Neither of them knows anything about your book.

So we built one that does. It knows what your book is about, which chapter you are on, and what that chapter is supposed to do — because you told it, before you started writing.

What's inside

Your book, your outline, your progress and your coaching, in one place.

The AuthorImpact dashboard: a book at 91% complete, the publishing journey, and Ask Blake

Position the book first

You write a short statement of what the book is and who it's for. Everything after this points back at it, which is why the book stays about one thing.

An outline you can write from

It turns that statement into numbered chapters, each with a brief: what goes in it, and what the reader gets out of it. No more blank page.

One chapter at a time

The editor opens on the chapter you're up to and shows you its brief. Saves as you type, tracks your words, and keeps working if the internet drops out.

Ask Blake

Coaching built into the app for when you're stuck. It knows what page you're on and what your book is about, so you get an answer about your book — not a general answer about books.

Progress you can see

Writing streaks, chapter milestones and a bar that fills as you go. Small things, and they're the difference between four chapters by month three and none.

Export when you're done

One click gives you a proper Word document with a contents page, ready for an editor. No copying and pasting, no week spent on formatting.

Who uses it on their own

It comes with the programmes

If you work with us on Idea to Impact or Publish to Impact, AuthorImpact is included for the whole engagement — it's where your manuscript, your roadmap and your progress live, and it's how a timeline stays a timeline. You don't need to buy it separately.

Have a look inside.

Seven days free, and you can build your positioning and your outline in the first sitting. If it isn't for you, walk away.
