Every story needs an audience.

Most tools for writers are built for novelists. You’re not a novelist. You have 500 words. Or 22 pages. Or 120 minutes. Storyboon is built for visual storytellers shaping picture books, comics, and screenplays. Story analysis, a format-aware editor, and story guidance that helps you finish your work without losing your voice in the process.

The Feedback Loop

Many beginners quit. They can write fine. What they don’t have is anyone reading their work and helping them get better. Working writers have that loop. Beginners almost never do.

Storyboon is that loop. Pala (PAH-la, from the Sanskrit पाल, meaning "guardian") reads your story and returns one observation about what isn’t working, plus one craft technique to try. You decide what to change. Pala doesn’t write prose for your manuscript.

Meet the Pala

Storyboon has three Pala. Each one guards a different part of the craft. When you ask a Pala in the Studio, you’re working with whichever one’s domain fits what you’re writing.

Catches drift between your draft and your story bible. Contradictions in character, setting, or world rules. Coming next.

How It Works

You select a passage and ask a Pala a question about it. The response tells you what isn’t working and suggests one craft technique to try. The revisions are yours to make, and you can move to the next passage when ready.
