The record

Product: FictionEngine combines AI writing tools, publishing features, and author marketing tools for indie authors.
Writing: Its tools include AI story and book generation, a cover designer, chapter editor, and one-click EPUB export.
Social scheduling: The social scheduler supports TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter/X.
Email marketing: The platform includes reader list management, launch campaigns, welcome sequences, segmentation, and author email templates.
Author marketing: Other tools include ARC review teams, book catalogs with retailer links, reader communities, hosted author pages, and analytics.
AI tokens: Tokens never expire, paid plans include a monthly token allowance, and users can buy additional tokens when needed.
Desktop app: The desktop app supports offline writing, local storage, cross-device sync, and up to three device activations.
AI provider keys: The desktop software page says users can use their own OpenAI or Anthropic API keys, or buy token packages.
Privacy and security: The privacy policy says data is stored on US servers, protected by TLS in transit and encryption at rest, and book content and exports are stored in AWS S3 with account-linked access controls.
Data rights: The terms say users retain ownership of content they create, while FictionEngine gets a limited license to store and display it to operate the platform.
Support: The contact page says the team aims to respond to inquiries within one business day; Publisher includes priority support and Studio includes a dedicated account manager.
Intended users: The maker describes FictionEngine as built for writers and positions it as an all-in-one platform for indie authors.
