FAQ

Questions buyers ask

Will StoryAgents write my book for me?

No. It develops structure and gives notes. You write the pages, and the ideas stay your own.

Who owns what I upload?

You do. Manuscripts are used only to produce your notes and are not shared or used to train anything.

Does it work for screenplays?

Yes. Beat sheets, scene breakdowns and notes support feature and pilot formats as well as novels.
