Shape a story from one line

Type a line, say it aloud, or tap a suggested idea. Storywish turns it into a story idea you can read and edit, then helps you add a cast, an art style, and extras like narration before it becomes a full picture book.

Start with one line

The prompt field takes whatever's easiest in the moment. Type a line, say it out loud, or borrow an idea Storywish has already set out for you.

Voice transcription

Tap the mic and start talking. Storywish streams what you say into the prompt as you go, so you can describe a story while making lunch or driving home. Built on the browser's speech recognition; nothing is uploaded for transcription.

Ideas, ready when you are

Storywish keeps a few story ideas waiting on the page, starring your own characters. New characters get their own ideas moments after you create them, and every finished story seeds fresh follow-ups. Tap a card and it becomes your idea. There's also a sparkle button that drafts a full premise from scratch, tuned to whichever characters you've already picked.

Your line becomes a story idea

Tap Start story idea and your prompt grows into a story idea card right in the field. Read it, edit any word of it, and watch its readiness score climb as the idea picks up what a good story needs.

Everything rides on the card

Characters, a reference story, the art style, extras like narration: each one lands on the idea as a small chip you can remove if you change your mind. The field stays open above the card, so a new thought is one line away from being part of the story.

Characters as you type

Add characters with Add character or by tapping a card in the gallery. Storywish writes their names into the idea so you don't have to retype them, and "X and Y" lists stay grammatical when you add a second character.

Sequels, prequels, remakes, remixes

From the end of any story, Create a related story opens a flyout with Create a sequel, Create a prequel, Create a remake, and Create a remix. Each option seeds a starter prompt ("After the events of '…'", "Before…", etc.), brings the original story along as a reference, and pre-selects every character, so you can riff with one tap.

Pick the look, add the extras

As the idea takes shape, Storywish brings up the right choices at the right moment: your cast, the art styles, and extras that change how the story is told.

Art styles

Pick the look that fits the story: 2D illustration, 3D graphics, Anime, Sketch, Crayon, or Cutout. The style cascades through every page, the cover, and even the in-line word-definition art.

Make it

Every choice lands on the idea card, so you always see exactly what you're about to get. When it reads right, tap Make it and Storywish writes and illustrates the whole book from the card you shaped.
