FAQ
Why does the bible come before the invitation?
A collaborator can only contribute well when they know the characters, the relationships, the world's rules and the continuity you want protected. That context is the thing this tool makes, and it is the thing you can hand over without handing over the book.
Why is the bible safe to share?
The bible is the safe artifact. It says who these people are and what must not change, and it says nothing about how the story ends, so sharing it does not mean showing anyone your draft.
How do I invite the role I actually need?
A co-writer needs the cast and the rules. An editor needs the arc and the open questions. A beta reader needs the one-page brief. Because the bible separates those, each of them can be given the right half.
Why review a response against the same ground?
When two people work from the same protected canon, a disagreement is about the story rather than about which version of the character they each remember.
What do I get on Nexet that this tool cannot do?
The tool builds the context; Nexet is where a story is written against it. A Nexet project holds your scenes and your bible together: draft in the Manuscript Studio, keep the characters, world, plots and outline in the same project, and let the cast and the do-not-change canon stay visible while you write. It also keeps a revision of every scene, and it tracks the plot threads and the outline. The finished work exports as Word, PDF, EPUB, Markdown, Final Draft and more.
Can I invite a co-writer or an editor to work from my bible?
Yes, and that is what the bible is for. On Nexet you invite someone as a role, whether co-writer, editor or beta reader, and they work from the same approved context rather than from a copy that drifts. Each role is given the part of the context its job needs, and a private thread keeps the conversation with the work instead of in an email.
What is the Writers' Audition Arena?
It is where you find someone to write with. You publish a frozen seed: a passage from your own work, held at that exact version. Other writers answer it with continuations, and you read them and choose. Your manuscript is never handed over by publishing a seed: what they see is the seed, and the writer you pick works on from there.
How do I get this bible into a Nexet project?
Export the JSON file, which is the round-trip format and the one that imports back without loss, then start the project on Nexet and bring it with you. Importing the file directly is coming; until it ships, the JSON export and the one-page brief are what travel, and the brief is what a collaborator reads first.
Does Nexet cost anything?
Nexet needs an account, and it starts free: you can create projects and write in them without paying, with more project slots available if you want them. Nothing on this page is affected either way: the free tool, its exports and its brief stay free, and they never ask for an account.
Anything the tool leaves open lives in its own development plan, including the parts it deliberately will not do: no manuscript upload, no plot written for you, no characters written for you, no real-time editing. The plot step records the chapters, the scenes and the threads you have decided on — the deciding is yours.
- The draft and the bible in one project. Draft a scene in the Manuscript Studio with the cast, the world and the canon beside it, so the reference sits where the writing happens instead of in another file.
- Invite the role you actually need. Bring in a co-writer, an editor or a beta reader as a role. Each works from the same approved context, with a private thread for the conversation.
- Never lose a version of a scene. Revisions keep a copy whenever a scene changes, so an edit is not a one-way door and a collaborator's answer can be read against what it answered.
- Find a collaborator in the Arena. Publish a frozen seed of your own writing, read the continuations other writers send back, then work with the one that fits. Your manuscript stays private.
- Take everything with you. Export the project or the finished document as Word, PDF, EPUB, Markdown, Final Draft, Rich Text, OpenDocument, plain text, HTML or JSON. Nothing is locked in.
