Phase 02 — Pre-Project
Plan a Novel.
Choose your genre, sketch your characters and conflict, and Grey will build a chapter-by-chapter outline you can carry into a draft.
Grey.
Your writing partner. Outline architect first, ghost writer second. Tell me what you're making (protagonist, opposition, world, central pressure) and I'll lay out a structure that earns its beats. We can build chapter by chapter from there.

Step 1 — Select Your Genre
Literary Fiction
Character-driven, thematic depth, psychological complexity. Booker and Pulitzer territory.
Thriller & Suspense
High stakes, relentless pace, a protagonist matched against an overwhelming threat.
Mystery
A crime, a detective, a trail of red herrings, leading to a revelation only in retrospect inevitable.
Sci-Fi & Fantasy
World-building at scale. Technology, magic, and the human condition under extraordinary pressure.
Historical Fiction
Personal stakes intertwined with the forces of history. Research and imagination in equal measure.
Romance
Two characters, one irresistible connection, and all the obstacles standing between them and an HEA.
Step 2 — Your Book Details (genre above shapes the outline)

Step 3 — Draft With Grey
Hand This Outline to Grey.
Grey drafts each chapter as full prose, one at a time, in your voice and grounded in everything above (manuscript, characters, the beat for that chapter). You stay in control of pacing and credit spend; advance to the next chapter when you're ready.
