Writing in Story

Story is the prose space of a project. Open it from Project Home or the sidebar. A project’s Story is created the first time you open it.

Write

Start typing. Scriptr saves as you write: see Recovering recent writing and how autosave works.

Type / at the start of a line, or after a space, to open the insertion menu:

• Paragraph, Heading, Quote and Scene Break for the shape of the text.
• New Chapter to begin a chapter. See Chapters.
• New Character and New Place to create a profile, and Mention Character and Mention Place to refer to one.
• Ask Co-writer and Continue Writing to bring Co-writer in. Anything Co-writer writes waits for your approval.

Change how the page looks

Open Manuscript options in the top bar:

• Writing style: Editorial (Tiempos Text) or Clean (Geist).
• Measure: Narrow, Normal or Wide line length.
• Structure: No structure or Parts.

These change only how your page is presented, not the words. Your default typography for Story is in Settings › Appearance.

Good to know

• Story and Script are separate manuscripts in the same project. Writing in one does not change the other. See Story vs Script.
• Bold and italic are kept when you export Story to PDF or Markdown.
