Frequently asked questions
What's the founder's motivation and vision for building MARCIE?
Having cheered and supported his writer wife Karin for years, Nikhil was inspired to help writers build a platform of their own. Karin is a professional writer. She has published 10 books, which includes a 7 book series. She can be reached at: https://www.karinshah.com/
Nikhil has observed similarity between writing code and writing a book - problem solving and creativity, design decisions/narrative arc, code refactoring/revising drafts, testing/seeking feedback, minimal viable product/advance reader copy, shipping/publishing, digital marketing, testimonials, and references. Developers use lots of tools. However, highly effective toolchains are an indisputable component of their productivity and success. Writers too have access to tools. What they don't have is their own toolchain, spanning from inspirational moments all the way to having a dedicated presence for their backlists. That is what MARCIE is.
What Open Source software did for developers, we envision doing it for writers. Give them the power to do awesome work at incredible speed to connect with their readers.What's the founder's background?
Nikhil has deep experience in tech, cloud, and AI. He loves to read, write, be active, and prioritizes an idyllic lifestyle.
Nikhil can be reached on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhilshah/ and follow his writing journey at https://skyfire.adimahi.comIs MARCIE's development funded bootstrapped?
Yes! We built the entire stack - webapp, text-to-web AI, the M.AR.C.I.E engine, the automation, cloud infrastructure, the marciebooks data feature - for tenth of the cost of what a funded startup spends over multiple years. Engineering can be expensive for non-tech founders and product teams. We know how to be frugal and execute really well.

What is MARCIE?
MARCIE started as an AI engine called M.AR.C.I.E. It stands for Multidimensional ARray Configuration Inferred Expression. The purpose was to create an algorithmic foundation that would enable discovery. This was before ChatGPT. MARCIE is now much more than an AI engine. It is a culmination of validated features that help writers write more.
