Question 1

What is Inkbreaker?

Accepted Answer

Inkbreaker is a full writing platform for the way you actually work. Draft and publish in a real editor, keep your work in one notebook, and share it with a community of writers. Deliberate practice is built in too: short targeted exercises, prose metrics, and skill tracking for when you want to sharpen a specific craft. No AI writes for you.

Question 2

How do exercises work?

Accepted Answer

Each exercise gives you a prompt and a constraint. You write directly in the editor and submit when you're done. The same engine that powers Prose Grade then scores your submission against benchmarks for your writing type. You earn XP toward specific skills, and your progress report updates automatically.

Question 3

What are skills and XP?

Accepted Answer

Skills are specific craft abilities like Hook, Tension, or Clarity. Each exercise targets one or more skills. When you submit, you earn XP toward those skills. Enough XP moves you up through six levels: Apprentice, Developing, Practiced, Skilled, Refined, and Master.

Question 4

What is Prose Grade?

Accepted Answer

Prose Grade is the analysis engine that powers Inkbreaker. It reads every exercise you submit and every draft in your editor, scoring readability, sentence variety, vocabulary range, passive voice, adverb density, and more against benchmarks for your writing type. It is fully deterministic: no AI, no guesswork, and the same text always produces the same scores. When you are signed in, your results are saved to your account so you can track how your prose changes over time. You can also try the engine instantly, with no account, on the free Prose Grade page.

Question 5

What's the difference between Free and Pro?

Accepted Answer

Free includes the full editor, every exercise tier (beginner through experienced), full prose metrics on every submission, XP and skill progression, peer feedback, your Progress Report overview, publishing, series, folders, version history, draft import and export, and the community. Pro adds metric history and trend analysis across submissions, the nine advanced metric readings, advanced writing modes for poetry, screenwriting, technical writing, and copywriting, the worldbuilding and language tools, and community audience analytics. Pro is $12 a month or $99 a year. Your first 7 days are Pro automatically. No credit card required.

Question 6

How does the Progress Report work?

Accepted Answer

Your Progress Report tracks your progress across all the exercises you’ve completed. The Overview tab shows your skill progression grouped by writing type. The Analytics tab (Pro) shows deeper metric trends, domain progression, and benchmark comparisons over time.

Question 7

What writing types does Inkbreaker support?

Accepted Answer

Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, Copywriting, Journalism, Technical Writing, Screenwriting, Blogging, and Worldbuilding. Each type has its own skill set and benchmark targets, so your feedback is calibrated to what good writing actually looks like in that domain.

Question 8

Is my writing stored? Who can see it?

Accepted Answer

Exercise submissions are saved to your account and visible only to you by default. Pieces you publish are visible publicly on your profile. Drafts are never public. Nothing you write is used to train AI models. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Question 9

How do I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

Open Preferences from the account menu and select the Account tab. Choose “Delete account”, then confirm by typing your username. Deletion is permanent and removes your submissions, pieces, folders, and skill progress, so export anything you want to keep first. The exact grace period and what is retained are spelled out in the confirmation dialog.

Question 10

How do I cancel my Pro subscription?

Accepted Answer

Open the Billing page from the account menu and stay on the Plan tab, then click “Cancel subscription” and confirm. You keep Pro access until the end of your current billing period; after that your account returns to the free plan and none of your writing is deleted. You can also cancel from the Lemon Squeezy customer portal using “Manage subscription”.
