What is I Write Mines?Overview

A workshop for writers, songwriters, screenwriters and actors. You get the tools, the walkthroughs and a coach — Mr AP — who pushes you through the work. You do the writing. That's the whole point.

Will the AI write my book, song or script for me?The rule

No, and it never will. Mr AP coaches, diagnoses, questions, and shows you study models of how a passage could work on a different subject. The words that end up in your draft are yours.

Room by room

The questions writers ask once they're standing inside a specific room.

Songwriter room

Will Mr AP write my hook or lyrics for me?

No. He reads your beat, maps the bars, and flags weak rhyme, stress drift and lines that don't say anything — but every word in the lyric pad is typed by you.

Do I have to upload an instrumental?

You can write lyrics with nothing loaded, but the beat sweep — sound, tempo and topline shape — only runs once you've dropped an MP3 or WAV in.

Who owns the song I write here?

You do, outright. I Write Mines claims no rights in your lyrics, melodies or recordings — it's a workshop, not a publisher.

What's included on the free plan?

Beat sweep, bar map and the lyric pad are open in beta. Longer concept-video runtime and heavier grading passes are what Pro and Premium unlock — see the pricing page.

Can I move a scratch lyric into a real project?

Yes — the scratch pad autosaves in your browser, and one click turns it into a library project that syncs to your account.

Music Video Studio

Does the AI direct the whole video for me?

It builds the render from choices you make — artist credit, intro, direction, timing and style. You're picking every creative call; it's staging your song, not writing your concept.

What formats can I export?

Lyric videos and directed concept films both render to MP4 at 1280×720, ready to upload anywhere.

Do I need to own the master to make a lyric video?

You need the rights to the audio you upload — if it's your own record or something you're cleared to use, you're fine.

Is there a runtime limit?

Beta includes a set number of concept-video minutes; Pro and Premium raise the cap. Check current minutes on the pricing page.

Who owns the finished video?

You do. It's your song and your render — we don't take a cut or a credit.

Audition room

Can I rehearse without another actor in the room?

That's the point of the room — load your sides, cast an AI reader for the other part, and run the scene solo, hands-free or tap-to-advance.

Does the AI coach my performance or write new lines?

It reads opposite you and can flag pace or missed cues; it never rewrites your sides or feeds you line readings you didn't choose.

What can I customize about the reader?

Age, gender, character type, backstory, style and pace — cast the scene partner the way the scene actually needs.

Where do my self-tapes go?

Into the tape locker in this room, tied to your account — download or share from there.

Do I need a script upload, or can I paste sides?

Either. The deep sweep works on uploaded pages or pasted text.

Complete Script Grader

Will it rewrite my script for me?

No — it grades. You get scene-by-scene notes on what's wrong and why, plus study models, but the rewrite is yours to do.

What does a full pass cover?

Four passes: scene-by-scene coverage, a continuity ledger (timeline, props, geography, setups/payoffs), a dialogue pass, and an overall studio-style coverage report.

What file types can I upload?

Standard screenplay formats and plain text/Word docs — the reader handles industry-standard scene headings.

Is this only for feature scripts?

No — pilots, shorts and stage plays all run through the same four-pass sweep.

Is a full grading pass free?

A limited grade is included in beta; the full four-pass coverage on longer scripts is a Pro/Premium feature — see pricing for current limits.

Audiobook studio

Does it change my words when it narrates?

No — the narrator reads exactly what you wrote. Nothing is rewritten, trimmed or paraphrased.

What manuscript formats work?

EPUB, PDF, Word (.docx), plain text, Markdown, RTF and Fountain — chapters are detected automatically.

Can I narrate just one chapter instead of the whole book?

Yes — pick any subset of the detected chapters, or paste a scene manually.

How many narrator voices are there?

Six studio voices across four delivery styles, with a preview before you commit to a full render.

What do I get at the end?

A downloadable MP3, yours outright — no rights are taken over your book or the narration.

Open Audiobook studio

Track Room

Is this an AI producer that builds the beat for me?

No — it's an engineering desk. You bring the vocal and the beat; the AI coach walks you through cleanup, balance and mastering moves. It never generates the music itself.

What's a checkpoint in the mix ladder?

A concrete mixing stage — gain staging, EQ, compression, and so on — with a target you're working toward and a coach note on what's off.

Can I use my own genre reference?

Yes, genre presets set starting targets for the desk, and you can push past them however the record needs.

What do I walk away with?

A mixed and mastered session you can export, plus the settings history so you can see what each move changed.

Do I need studio gear to use this?

No — a decent pair of headphones and a browser mic for recording vocals is enough to get started.

Open Track Room

Writers Room

Is this a video call with an AI writer in it?

It's live video with your actual co-writers, on one shared page, with Mr AP coaching the table — he doesn't write lines for anyone in the room.

What kinds of sessions can I run?

Song, book or script sessions — each mode has its own shared-page structure suited to that kind of work.

How does splits paperwork work?

The room walks you through a splits sheet and registration steps (BMI, ASCAP, SoundExchange, MLC) before anyone leaves the session.

How many people can join a room?

Enough for a normal writing session — invite co-writers with the room code, no separate accounts required to view.

Who owns what's written in the room?

The writers who wrote it, per the splits you agree on — I Write Mines doesn't take any stake in the work.

Open Writers Room

Earn

Do I need a big audience to start earning?

No — Earn is built around what you make here, not follower count. Check the room for the current paths available.

Does I Write Mines take a cut of what I earn?

Any fees or splits are stated plainly in the room before you opt in — nothing hidden after the fact.

Do I still own the work I submit through Earn?

Yes — participating in Earn doesn't transfer ownership of your writing, recordings or scripts.

Is Earn reviewed by a person or just automated?

Submissions go through review before anything is approved — see the room for current turnaround.

Where do I see my Earn status?

In your account portal, alongside your other activity and payouts.
