One room for a long piece of writing, from the first fragment to an edition you own.

Norham Castle, Sunrise, J. M. W. Turner

Open it.

Sheva is the room you write in and the book it becomes: the same pages, from the first fragment to the bound edition.

A Sheva edition lying open on its first page: chapter one, “A place for unfinished thought.”

Empty your head first.

The Loom keeps every fragment exactly as you wrote it, newest first. Route the ones worth keeping into Nexus or Snowflake, by hand: nothing gets sorted until you decide.

See what belongs together.

Nexus is a map of the ideas inside your book: link concepts, characters and sources, then drag any of them into the draft.

One sentence, ten steps.

Snowflake walks ten steps from a one-sentence premise to a scene list, and sends each titled scene to your manuscript as a chapter to write into.

Write the book itself.

The Studio is the page you write on: numbered paragraphs, chapters from your headings, your research beside the prose, saved as you type.

Questions

What is Sheva?

A writing room for long-form work, from a raw mind-dump to a private edition you own, with deliberate controls for anything you later choose to make public.

Do I have to use AI?

No. The writing and edition pipeline works without AI, and Sheva does not present a live AI action today.

Can I bring in work from Word, Obsidian, Notion or Scrivener?

From Word, yes: bring in a manuscript as a .docx document, and Sheva shows how it reads your chapters before anything is saved. The file stays on your device. PDF import is not available, and Obsidian, Notion and Scrivener libraries are not synced. Markdown and a Word-compatible .doc are available as exports. EPUB export is not available yet.

Where is my writing stored?

In your browser as you type, and synced to your Sheva account (hosted on Supabase) while you are signed in. A prepared edition is a private PDF that only you can open unless you choose to publish.

What does the founding seat include?

Everything in Free, plus private immutable editions and the reader, an optional public creator profile, one printed copy when the print service is enabled, and direct founding support. It is a single $199 payment, capped at 100 seats.

Can I take my writing with me?

Yes. Any manuscript exports as Markdown or a Word-compatible .doc, free, whenever you like, and a prepared edition downloads as its exact PDF.

Can Sheva print and ship a physical book?

The personal-copy path stays closed until a verified print product is enabled. When it is, you review the print files and a frozen quote before any order is created.

Start with one fragment.

Open the Studio, put down the line you keep thinking about, and see where it wants to go.
