Editors and agents are wading through mountains of AI content. They're wondering who they can trust. Attach a Proof page from Proofwriter to your next submission and let the skeptical person see your real writing process in seconds—instead of wondering about its origin until they uncover your revision history.
Magazines, literary agencies, and publishing houses have been inundated with LLM-created stories. That means writers are being met with skepticism, slower responses, AI detectors and editors who are both wary and weary of machine-written slop.
We're in a new age where there's almost no way to prove something was written by a real human without the receipts. That's why Proofwriter preemptively tells the origin story of your work alongside the finished draft.
The Secret Afterlife of the Rust Belt
Authored by Jordan Lee · Proofed May 3, 2026
Detroit— Lights beam out of an abandoned building. The hulking shadow of the Russel Industrial Center stands ominously behind. Music blares loudly, but still muffled through the shattered windows. There's life inside the…

Write and Proof the piece
Draft your article, chapter, or sample pages in Proofwriter as you normally would. When it's ready, Proof it—notarize the writing and generate a shareable Proof page.
02
Attach the Proof page link to your pitch
Drop the Proof page URL into your query letter or submission email alongside the piece. No account or sign-in needed on the editor's end to make their life easier.
03
The editor verifies your humanity in seconds
They see revision history, timing, and a blockchain-anchored timestamp—evidence you did the writing before they can even question it.
A writing story in plain English
Every Proof page opens with a plain-language origin snapshot—how long the piece took, how many revisions, how it was written. No jargon to interpret.
Real revision history
Checkpoints are saved as you write, visible as a clear timeline. A gradual slope of drafts over real time is what genuine writing looks like—and they can see it easily.
Blockchain-anchored timestamp
A cryptographic fingerprint of the finished piece is permanently timestamped. Any edit after it's Proofed creates a detectable mismatch.
Properly formatted, either way
Editors and colleagues can effortlessly export the author-verified writing straight to a Word doc, PDF, or Markdown file. Prove your humanity and make their job easier.

Hello Michael,
An almost abandoned building in Detroit has a secret life nobody else has written about. In this piece, I show the elusive man behind the secretive nightclub and why he works so hard to keep it so private. As far as I know, I am the only journalist to ever make it inside, and I have pictures to accompany. They're wild and would add to Midwestern Moment's ongoing quest to highlight the best of the Rust Belt.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
Best,
