DeepWriter: A Multi-Agent Collaboration Framework for Information-rich Ultra-long Book Writing

Long-form books are among the most information-rich and structurally complex forms of written content, often exceeding 100,000 words. While recent methods have enabled basic long-text generation, they remain limited in two key aspects: the inability to generate ultra-long content at book scale, and the lack of mechanisms for integrating rich factual information. To address these limitations, we propose DeepWriter, a multi-agent collaborative framework that follows a structured planning-then-generation paradigm. It first constructs a detailed book outline with narrative arcs and chapter semantics, then incrementally generates content conditioned on retrieved knowledge and contextual signals. DeepWriter supports controllable generation of full-length books exceeding 100,000 words, enriched with citations, trivia and images. To support evaluation beyond surface-level fluency, we introduce DeepWriter-Bench, a bilingual benchmark of 18 annotated books designed to assess book-scale coherence, richness, and factual grounding. Additionally, we propose BookScore, a unified 100-point metric for quantifying book maturity. Experimental results show that DeepWriter achieves a stateof-the-art BookScore of 80.92, consistently outperforming strong baselines.
