StoryForge is not just a writing platform; it's a vibrant, interactive community that transforms the solitary act of writing into a collaborative and rewarding journey.
Our Kickstarter campaign is designed to take StoryForge to the next level, introducing unique and unconventional features that further enhance the user experience. By supporting our campaign, you're not just funding the development of these features; you're helping to shape the future of the StoryForge community and contributing to a new, innovative approach to writing and publishing.

What makes us special
Unlike traditional writing platforms, StoryForge gamifies the writing process, making it more engaging and enjoyable. Our goal is to break the stereotype that being a "real author" requires a stiff and serious approach. With StoryForge, you can enhance your writing skills while having fun and connecting with fellow authors and readers.
StoryForge is dedicated to celebrating and empowering human creativity which is why we remain free of AI integration.
This isn’t your usual Kickstarter – our product works, and people love it. But let's be honest, it's a bit boring right now. We want to kick it up a notch and Make StoryForge Weird. By "weird," we mean adding those unique, quirky elements that break away from the traditional, uptight author stereotype and make our platform truly stand out.
We're talking about gamification, unique aesthetics, intriguing lore, and other delightful surprises that transform the writing process into an adventure.
We want to add secrets and features that might seem normal in other contexts but are completely out of the norm for a writing platform. This campaign is our way of inviting you to join us on this journey and help us create a space where creativity knows no bounds.
Let's show the world just how fun and rewarding writing can be with StoryForge!
More about us

Publishers reject writing–it’s what they do. They reject the amazing stories, the okay stories, and the straight-up bad stories. But they don’t tell you which one yours is. They don’t tell you what would’ve made it that little bit better to get a second glance.
After years of work, Sabrina Rucker decided to publish her graphic novel. She didn’t realize that writing was the easy part. Rejection after rejection was beyond frustrating, it was soul-crushing. Was her work that bad? And if her work sucked, she didn’t know what to change.
StoryForge is her answer to a broken system. Feedback that’s finally easy to get. Stories that show all the time and effort spent on them. Every revision, every difficult critique matched by rewards and trophies. And, throughout it all, a virtual library and cat personalized to each writer.

At StoryForge, our mission is to provide an inclusive space for people from all walks of life to share their stories and ideas with others around the world.
AT ITS HEART, STORYFORGE IS ABOUT CREATING A COMMUNITY.
The communities on StoryForge help writers get feedback so that they can continue on their journey to being the best writer they can be – and if they so choose, a published author as well.
When it comes to publishing, we want to publish anything that you feel you’re ready to put out into the public space once it reaches Legendary status. Our opinions around publishing your work aren’t going to change if you’ve written a tried and true formulaic love story or a genre-busting cozy science fiction epic. If you want to publish a book, we’re going to help you do it.
