Edit until it feels just right

Rewrite Storywish text with a prompt, paint over part of an illustration to inpaint a precise change, or regenerate a single page — every edit re-syncs picture and text.

Three ways to change a page

Tap the pencil on any page (cover or interior) to enter edit mode. From there you can either rewrite the words or change the picture — without restarting the whole story.

Rewrite text with a prompt

Drop a one-line direction into the PROMPT FOR NEW STORY TEXT field — "make this scene scarier", "give Lily a line about her cat" — and Storywish rewrites just that page. Highlight a sentence first to rewrite only the selection.

Edit the words yourself

Or just type. The editable text is right there in the layout — change a word, fix a name, tighten a sentence. The moment you do, a Recreate image button appears so you can re-sync the illustration to your new wording without thinking about prompts.

Paint over what you want to change

Toggle the brush on any image and paint over the region you want regenerated. The label changes to PAINT OVER WHAT YOU WANT TO CHANGE, then your prompt becomes PROMPT TO CHANGE THAT PART OF THE PICTURE. Storywish keeps everything outside the strokes intact and only redraws what you marked — give the dog a hat, swap a backpack color, fix a misshapen hand.

Cover edits work the same way, with a separate PROMPT FOR NEW STORY TITLE and a Recreate cover button.

Make it perfect before you print

Ordering a printed book locks in whatever you've got, so the recommended workflow is to read the whole story end-to-end, edit any page that doesn't quite land, then preview and order. Every change is free in the editor.

The end page even nudges you with a Print this story card once the story is ready — a one-tap path into the printed-book flow described in the next step.
