Learn what Scribeist workspaces are and how they work.

1 min readLast updated Sep 3, 2026

What are workspaces?

A workspace is a self-contained writing environment for a specific project. Each workspace has its own files, settings, and organization—completely separate from your other workspaces.

When you create a workspace, you choose a workspace type, and Scribeist configures the interface with tools tailored to that style of writing.


Available workspace types

Each workspace type is optimized for different writing needs:

  • Book → - Fiction or non-fiction books, long-form writing, planning, and references
  • Blog → - Articles, SEO content, web publishing
  • General → - Notes, journaling, freeform writing

All workspace types included

Every Scribeist plan includes access to all workspace types. You are not choosing between Book, Blog, and General when selecting a plan.

Managing workspaces

Workspace Settings: Each workspace has its own settings for cover image, typeface, dark mode, and more.

Deleting a workspace: Export your work first—deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.
