New in Ellipsus: April 2026

We've added a way to paginate your writing, control page formatting, navigate by page number, and see what your work would look like in print.

What does it actually feel like to be a writer in the age of AI? We ran a survey to hear directly from the people doing the work. The response was overwhelming, and confirmed much of what we've all been thinking.

97.8% of respondents avoid suspected AI-generated work. There's a basic change in how we approach what we read: we no longer assume there’s a human on the other end.

Almost half of respondents worry their work could be mistaken for AI—and 99.5% think people should have the right to know if work was written by a human or not.

Human writing = resistance. But despite AI content flooding creative spaces, most writers say they’re writing more than ever—in spite of "effortless slop", for the joy of making something only they could make.

TL;DR: if you hate AI, you're far from alone—but resistance is needed and possible, especially by staying creative. So keep the words coming, and beat back the bots!

Check out the full survey findings in the blog post!

• Do you self-publish your writing?
• Do you publish online to an audience?
• Do you submit your work professionally?

We’d love to hear about how you work, and which tools help along the way. Take this short survey, and help shape what we build next.

We'll be sharing writing prompts on social media, and you can also get them emailed right to your inbox.

If you'd like to receive an email with three human-authored writing prompts every Monday, click here! (Psst—We'll even send you a bonus prompt.)

Our newest world-building template (and most in-depth yet!) helps you craft a detailed belief system that's deeply rooted in your world.
