Powerful Features for Accelerated Production

Cloud-based

Because Inkwell is a cloud-based application, it allows seamless switching between working on projects on your laptop, desktop, or other devices as well as seamless collaboration with others.

Browser-Native Platform

No installations or updates are required—Inkwell runs entirely in your web browser with enterprise-grade reliability. Even if your internet goes down, you can keep working, and your project will update once you are back online.

Powerful Collaboration Features

Inkwell collaboration tools let you invite editors and co-authors to work together in real time with tracked changes while keeping final approval and manuscript control entirely in your hands. Ownership and permissions remain in your hands.

Complete Version History

Every change, every keystroke, is tracked so you can roll back to earlier drafts or compare revisions across collaborators.

WYSIWYG Editor

Inkwell's WYSIWYG editor makes composition and editing easy. It is also a big deal for math equations, where there's a big difference between what an equation looks like in source (e.g., \frac{x^2}{y}) and the final product.

LaTeX Features Without LaTeX Hassles

Things like automatic bibliographies, references to equations, figures, and index entries are directly inspired by things that were available in LaTeX, but Inkwell brings them into a WYSIWYG, avoiding LaTeX hassles.

Cross-Platform Import

Seamlessly import manuscripts between Word, Google Docs, LaTeX, HTML, ePub, and Inkwell while preserving formatting and notation.

Compatibility with Tools like Quillbot and Grammarly

These tools typically work with integrated software packages like Word but not with text editors that you would typically use to edit Markdown/LaTeX.

Flexible Math Editor

Authors uncomfortable with LaTeX can produce precise equations using a clean point-and-click visual editor; authors comfortable with LaTeX can enter LaTeX commands directly.

Universal Math Notation Editor

Inkwell seamlessly renders equations and formulas whether typed with its visual editor, entered in LaTeX, or pasted directly from sources like ChatGPT, Grok, or Wikipedia—making it a truly universal solution for mathematical writing.

SVG-Based STEM Notation for eBooks

All equations and formulae render crisply and responsively in ePub readers through automatic SVG conversion (SVG = scalable vector graphics).

Synchronized ePub and PDF

The same document flows neatly into both eBook and PDF formats.

Real-Time PDF Preview

Instantly see how your book or article will look in print with a live typeset preview that updates as you write and edit.

Getting ePub Right

Equations converted into images, print page numbers embedded into the ePub, clickable links, images compressed appropriately, fonts subsetted.

One-Click Publishing Readiness

Generate distribution-ready files for publishing platforms such as Amazon and Ingram without manual intervention or post-processing. Inkwell ensures the compatibility of our input with the requirements of these platforms.

Multi-Format Export

Beyond PDF and ePub, export your project to HTML, Word, and LaTeX for academic or custom publishing workflows.

Backup and Archival Format

All projects can be downloaded in the portable .inkwell format, ensuring long-term preservation and recovery of your work.

Effective Chapter Management

Inkwell builds its interface around chapters, making it easy to manage document divisions without juggling multiple files.

Flexible Typesetting Parameters

Support for any desired trim sizes, margins, font types, font sizes, etc., making your content adaptable for any way you wish to publish in paperback, hardcover, and digital formats.

Smart Layout Engine

Automatically balances spacing, margins, and pagination for a clean, elegant reading experience without requiring manual tweaks.

AI Based Index Generation

Inkwell uses artificial intelligence to create an index based on semantic importance of words in a text.

Index and Table of Contents Linking

Interactive TOCs and live index entries are automatically linked to their content within a given project. In particular, the index automatically updates as pagination changes under edits, allowing for easily updated editions of a project.

Dual-Tiered Reference Notes

Inkwell allows separate sets of reference notes, such as footnotes for an author and endnotes for a commentator. This can be especially helpful for republishing critical editions of older books.

Automated Citations and References

Built-in citation manager allows footnotes, endnotes, and bibliographic styles to be updated automatically, supporting manual citations as well as Zotero and Mendeley.
