Two different philosophies
One ships short books. The other serves the novel.
EarnDraft: idea → sellable book
A book workspace for written books, workbooks and other supported formats. Draft and revise in one conversation; keep direct control of the artifact, cover, contents and exports.
Sudowrite: premise → novel, revised
A fiction studio: guided story drafting, character tools, and deep rewrite features for novelists who revise. The job is making long fiction better over many sessions — covers, book files, and publishing setup are not part of it.

EarnDraft fits when…
You are a coach or creator who needs a short book capturing leads or sales by Friday — method in, listable asset out.

Sudowrite fits when…
You are a novelist working a manuscript over months — characters, arcs, and revision are the whole game.
You want fiction-specific AI (story drafting, rewrites, style tools) rather than a publishing pipeline.
