A closer look at the tools built for writing a whole series — not just one book.
A project isn’t one book — it’s a series. Keep every book in the arc together, sharing characters, locations, and continuity, and switch between them without juggling a dozen files. This is what Verkilo is built for.
Every section carries its own metadata: POV, the characters present, locations, keywords, and free-form notes — all in a panel beside the manuscript. Fill it in as you write, and it flows straight into the Series Bible, Story Links, and search. No more scrolling back to remember who was in the room.
A living profile for every character: role, tagline, summary, and free-form notes. Generate a first draft from the scenes they appear in, then shape it as the character grows through the series.
Every scene a character appears in, listed with its synopsis and POV and grouped by book. Read a character’s whole journey through the series in a single scroll — invaluable when you’re checking arcs or writing a late-series payoff.
Track how characters feel about one another — and how those feelings shift from book to book. Directional, per-book relationships keep evolving allegiances straight, so a betrayal in book three still lines up with the trust you built in book one.
See the whole book as a wall of index cards, one per section, each showing its synopsis and word count. Drag to reorder, spot the gaps, and plan structure the way you’d pin note cards to a board — then step back into the editor to write.
A sortable table of every section: title, synopsis, word count, POV, and compile status in one view. It’s the birds-eye pass — perfect for checking pacing, balancing chapter lengths, and seeing the shape of the whole book at once.
Go a step past focus. Composition Mode dims every paragraph except the one you’re writing, so your eye — and your attention — stays exactly where the words are happening. It’s the deepest, quietest way to draft.
Collapse both sidebars and let the manuscript fill the screen. Everything you track is a single keystroke away, but out of sight while you draft — so the page is just you and the words.
Search the whole book — or the whole series — in one pass. Matches are grouped by section so you can jump straight to context, then replace across everything with a click. Case-sensitive and whole-word options keep large edits precise.
A year of writing in one picture. A contribution-style heatmap, your current streak, weekly and 12-week totals, and a trailing average — motivation built right in, tallied across every book in the project.
