When a draft is ready to leave Reverie, for an editor, a beta reader, or a publisher, you can turn it into a finished file without losing your formatting.
Exporting the current document
Open the File menu, choose Export, then pick a format:
- Word (
.docx) for editors and anyone working in Microsoft Word or Google Docs - HTML for the web
- PDF for a fixed, printable copy
Reverie opens a save dialog with the document’s name already filled in. Your headings, lists, blockquotes, and inline styles all carry across.
Exporting a whole manuscript
Choose File → Export Manuscript… to open the export dialog. Enter your name, the manuscript title, and your contact details (Reverie remembers them for next time), then pick a format.
Standard combines every document in the manuscript, in order, into a single Word, HTML, or PDF file. It’s the fastest way to turn a folder of chapters into one continuous file.
Shunn manuscript produces a Word file in the standard manuscript format that editors and agents expect: 12pt Times New Roman, double-spaced, one-inch margins, a title page with your contact details and word count, page headers, and scene breaks marked with a centred #. Each document begins a new page as a chapter.
Your originals are untouched
Exporting never changes your source files. They stay exactly what they were: plain Markdown that you own and can read anywhere. Export as often as you like, since it only ever produces a copy in another format.
