Everything You Need to Write & Get Feedback on Your Stories
StoryForge is a free web app with tools for writers to develop their writing, where you can get feedback from readers, and grow your audience. Built for you by authors and readers.
Writing & Editing on StoryForge
Whether you’re writing a novel, short story, or something else—fiction or non-fiction—StoryForge’s manuscript editor has the tools to help you get it done. The text editor works alongside an easy-to-use notepad, and access to feedback from readers all on the same page.
Visualize & Plan Your Story
Never forget a thing! Plan ahead or take notes on the fly in each story’s Planner. Create planning sheets for all of your story’s characters, settings, research, and more, then filter and sort them to focus on just what you need in the moment.
Planning sheets can be accessed from any chapter in the story, so they’re never more than a click away. It’s the perfect way to stay organized while writing your book!
Write Anywhere
Access your writing wherever you go! The web app is accessible from your desktop, tablet, or phone on your preferred browser.
Custom Themes
At StoryForge, we want you to express yourself! Choose from dozens of editor themes to customize your workspace.
Import & Export
Seamlessly import Word and TXT files into StoryForge, and pick up right where you left off. Or, export your work as a TXT file!
Get Feedback from Readers
Stop guessing what readers will think of your story—ask them! Whether you’re working on your debut, or you’ve already published several books, all authors need feedback to help polish their writing. For less than the price of a coffee, Feedback Bounties help readers find you and respond to your questions.
Once you’ve published your story on StoryForge, you can create Bounties, where you can ask readers what they think of it. Pick your favorite response, or the most helpful one, and award it to thank them for their time!
