How Storyboon Works
Learn how to make your children's stories even better through our friendly, guided workshop system.
The Workshop Process
Storyboon uses a friendly 3-pass workshop system that helps you strengthen your story step by step. Each pass focuses on a specific part of story development, taking you from understanding your story to making it even better.
Pass 1: Analysis Pass
Understanding your story - See your story's shape, identify what's working well and what could be stronger, and understand exactly what to focus on. Read-only assessment with visual story structure.
Pass 2: Storytelling Pass
Making your story stronger - Guided help for structure, language, tension, and character development. Interactive workshops that strengthen every part of your story.
Pass 3: Final Assembly
Putting it all together - Integration of all improvements and manuscript formatting for submission, self-publishing, or portfolio use. Multiple export formats available.
What Makes Our 3-Pass System Different
Visual story analysis shows you exactly what's working and what could be stronger before you make any changes.
We provide analysis and suggestions, but you make all creative decisions. Your voice, your story, your choices.
Each pass teaches helpful techniques you can apply to future stories. Build your skills, not just this story.

Pass 1 (Paste Your Draft) takes 2-3 minutes to analyze your story. Pass 2 (Guided Improvements) takes 15-20 minutes for interactive editing help. Pass 3 (Polish & Finish) takes 5-10 minutes to polish and prepare your manuscript. You can work at your own pace and save progress between passes.
Our workshops are specifically designed for children's stories, including picture books, chapter books, and middle-grade novels. The techniques work best with stories meant for young readers.
Perfect! Short stories often benefit most from our workshops. We can help you make every word count and ensure every sentence serves a purpose.
Unlike automated tools that rewrite your story, we teach you how to improve it yourself. You maintain complete creative control while learning helpful techniques you can use on future stories. Think of us as your friendly writing coach who never judges your first draft.
We use professional story analysis techniques to examine your story's structure, character development, conflict, and pacing—similar to how a professional editor would review your manuscript.
The analysis identifies improvement opportunities, but you make every creative decision. Your voice, your style, your story.
Absolutely. Your stories are never shared or used for training. We process your story to generate your personal analysis, but your stories stay private and are never used to improve our system or shared with others.
You do, completely. You're the author. We provide analysis and guidance (like a human editor would), but all creative work and all rights remain 100% yours.
