Advanced PlanningThe Author’s Workspace
Ellis is an interactive publishing guide who stays with your project from its first idea—or an uploaded manuscript—through research, writing, editing, manuscript preparation, cover development and the next publishing step.
You stay in control of every creative and publishing decision. Ellis helps you organize the work, identify what needs attention and prepare your materials for the route you choose.
Write with purpose
Choose the kind of writing you want to develop. Ellis helps you research, plan, draft, revise and prepare the next materials; you review the work and decide what to publish or submit.
Shape a book idea, plan chapters, develop the manuscript, prepare reader-facing materials and develop a cover concept before you take the next step with a publisher or platform you choose.
Ellis helps you prepare; you choose the publisher and retain control of submission decisions.
Develop a premise, characters or argument, then work through research, structure, voice, drafts and revisions while keeping the materials and decisions connected.
Keep creative control over every final choice.
Organize a thesis, paper, report or white paper. Clarify the audience, track research, outline the argument and revise for accuracy and readability.
Review sources, citations and submission rules before you send anything out.
More than a writing tool
Many writing products help with a single task. APS brings the moving pieces together, with Ellis alongside you as the project changes from an idea into finished publishing materials.
Begin with an idea, an outline or a finished manuscript. Ellis helps you decide what comes next, work through it one step at a time and return to the project without losing your place.
Develop research, structure, chapters, revisions, manuscript files, reader-facing copy and cover concepts in one connected project—not a collection of disconnected drafts.
Use a project workspace for your files, notes, research, decisions and versions. When it fits your process, Ellis can help you establish version tracking in tools you control, so important work does not disappear in scattered documents.
