Creating Your First Story

My Stories Dashboard

After logging in, access My Stories to:

• View all your stories (drafts and published)
• Continue editing draft stories
• Delete stories you no longer need
• Filter between your stories and all published stories

Creating a Story

From My Stories, there are two ways to start:

• New Story - Give your story a title, pick a genre and tone, and start writing yourself. You can add sections by hand or with AI.
• Generate Complete Story (Scribe tier or above) - Story Forge walks you through genre, tone and settings, then writes an outline for you to review before it generates the story.

For the Story Forge wizard, see the Story Forge guide.

The Story Editor

Once your story is generated, the editor allows you to:

• View and edit story title and tagline
• See story status (unpublished, published, etc.)
• View all story sections with their content
• Generate Title & Tagline - Let AI suggest a compelling title
• Add Sections - Generate additional story sections
• Edit Content - Manually refine the AI-generated text
• Regenerate - Request a new version of any section
• Publish - Make your story visible to all users

Auto-Save

The editor automatically saves your work:

• After 2 seconds of inactivity
