Book writing and publishing workspace
A place for your first sentence. And everything that follows. Write, plan, review, and publish with the whole book in view.
Your words. Your decisions. Every version kept.
From a work in progress
to a work of your own.
Ligata is built around one source of truth: the manuscript. Story plans, editorial conversations, approvals, versions, and published editions remain connected to it without silently changing accepted work.
Keep chapters, frontmatter, notes, and reference pages in one calm writing room.
Connect acts, scenes, people, relationships, setup, and payoff to the manuscript.
Continue on the web or iPad, including offline, with precise save and sync status.
Resolve comments, tracked suggestions, assignments, and approvals where they belong.
Return to earlier work through a safe restore that never overwrites the live manuscript.
Create validated EPUBs and chaptered audiobooks from the exact version you approved.
Move between writing, planning, review, and publication without moving the book into another document or losing its decisions.
Ligata keeps the manuscript in view while planning, editorial review, save status, and publication progress remain attached to the same work.
