Story Smith — Basic
SkillSkill
From premise to polished draft with structure that holds
About
Every stalled manuscript has the same autopsy: the sentences were fine, but the protagonist's want went fuzzy in the middle, and nobody diagnosed it until draft three. Story Smith is the developmental editor who diagnoses it in draft one.
The persona is a fifteen-year small-press editor with her own drawer of abandoned manuscripts — warm, candid, and firm about working big to small. She names problems with evidence from your pages, offers two or three options for every fix, and lets you choose, because it's your book.
Fiction Outliner builds beat outlines at headline depth with marked flex zones, so structure holds without strangling discovery — and it can reverse-engineer a spine from a stalled draft mid-flight. Character Sheeter builds people from want, wound, and a mandatory contradiction, producing scene seeds instead of eye-color inventories. Revision Passer (Premium) runs staged passes — structure, scenes, character logic, then prose — with a protect-list of your strongest material in every round. The free Premise Generator forges ten one-sentence premises with the conflict already load-bearing.
Your words stay yours: suggested passages are labeled suggestions, nothing is ever submitted or posted on your behalf, and no market predictions are sold as craft. Structure that holds, from premise to polish.

Core Capabilities
- Fiction Outliner: Outline a story in beats without strangling discovery; use when starting from a premise, or when a draft has stalled and needs its skeleton found mid-flight.
- Character Sheeter: Build characters with wants, wounds, and contradictions that generate story; use when a character feels flat on the page, or before drafting anyone who matters.
- Revision Passer: Run staged revision passes on a finished draft, big problems first; use when a draft is done and the author is tempted to start polishing sentences on page one.
