The Storyteller's Shelf Podcast

Be honest, authors. How many documents do you have open right now for the same draft?

One for the current version. One for deleted scenes. And one you are too nervous to delete. 😅

That is exactly why we created Branches in Storyrise.

Which draft file are you afraid to close?

😅 Isn’t it weird how you can only get published if you actually have a finished manuscript?

Need motivation? Join a writing sprint.

Need accountability? Sprint with other writers.

The Storyteller's Shelf Podcast

We love this new writing app, and we really do encourage authors to check it out.

Storyrise was made for writers who need one cleaner place to build a book, not five scattered folders, random notes, and a manuscript draft called “final final maybe.”

One feature we especially love is Atlas. It helps authors organize the pieces behind the book, like characters, relationships, maps, threads, structure, and all those notes you think you will remember but probably will not.

And now Storyrise also has a chat feature, so writing does not have to feel quite so lonely. Authors can connect, talk through the process, and feel like they are not building their book completely by themselves.

For authors, by authors.

Happy Independence Day, America 🇺🇸

As we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, it is a powerful reminder that stories shape how we remember the past, understand the present, and imagine what comes next.

At Storyrise, we believe every writer has a story worth finishing.

Whether you are writing a novel, memoir, children’s book, young adult story, fantasy adventure, historical fiction, or your next big idea, your words matter.

Storyrise helps authors draft manuscripts, organize chapters and scenes, map story threads, invite beta readers, join writing sprints, and export their books when they are ready.

Here’s to freedom, courage, creativity, and the stories still waiting to be written.

What story are you working on this summer?

The Storyteller's Shelf Podcast

Can’t find your most recent manuscript draft? For many authors, the problem is not the book. It is the system holding the book. The latest version might be labeled final, FINALFINAL, final fr, or buried in a folder with notes, feedback, screenshots, and half-finished revision plans.

That kind of fragmentation creates friction. Every writing session starts with finding the work instead of doing the work.

Storyrise helps authors draft, revise, track versions, keep notes close, and organize the book-building process in one workspace.

For fiction and nonfiction writers building manuscripts from idea to polished draft, Storyrise offers a clearer way to keep the work moving.

New writing app? Say less.

Storyrise was built for writers who are trying to finish the book without losing track of the story along the way.
If your chapters are in one place, your notes are somewhere else, your beta reader feedback is scattered, and your story map is mostly living in your head, Storyrise gives you one cleaner place to work.

With Storyrise, writers can draft a manuscript, organize chapters and scenes, map story threads, invite beta readers, join writing sprints, and export their book when it is ready.

Whether you are writing a novel, middle grade book, young adult story, memoir, nonfiction book, picture book, or your next big idea, Storyrise was created to help authors keep writing and keep moving forward.
Because writing a book is already hard enough.
Your writing app should help you stay focused.

Hi everyone,

We know we’ve been a little quiet online, so we wanted to share a quick update.

After the Marketing Mastery Summit, we’ve been working on replays, resources, follow-ups, new podcast episodes, and updates for Storyrise.

We’re also getting ready to share tutorial videos for Storyrise soon. A lot of writers have asked how to use the app, so we want to make it easier to walk through things like uploading a manuscript, organizing chapters and scenes, inviting beta readers, using writing sprints, and getting comfortable with the platform.

New episodes of The Storyteller’s Shelf Podcast are also coming soon.

Thank you for being patient with us as we catch up, plan, and keep building. We’re excited to share more with you soon.
