Will it write my whole novel?

No. EarnDraft produces short-fiction drafts — openings and short reads you finish yourself.

Is the story original?

It's generated from your premise for you to edit and make yours. Review and rewrite before publishing.

Can I sell the story?

Yes, with a paid plan or credit pack — the commercial license covers selling.

What if I want full creative control?

Then write it yourself with your own tools — EarnDraft trades control for speed, and says so.
