A collection of short stories around a theme

Eight to twelve stories, each complete on its own with one turn and an ending that lands without explaining itself. The planner varies point of view and tense across the collection so it reads like a book, not a batch.

The questions it asks first

Before planning, the studio interviews you. These were written for a meal-prep guide; yours will be written for your brief.

Writing one yourself, or want to see the method before you start? Read how to write a short story collection — the full process, with the structure, the mistakes and the publishing specifics.

Questions, answered

How long does a short story collection take?

About 13 minutes for 10 stories. The interview and plan take a minute or two; each story is written and edited in about a minute. Keep the tab open while it writes; you can pause and resume any time.

What does it cost?

Nothing to plan and write it. There are no credits to buy and no subscription: describe the book, approve the plan, and watch every chapter get written for free. Reading it is free too. Downloading the EPUB, PDF and Markdown is $9, once.

Will it sound like AI?

Less than anything else we have measured. The interview puts your own stories and numbers into specific chapters, every chapter has its own opening and closing move, and a line-edit pass removes the reversals, rhetorical questions and bold takeaways that readers recognise. You still read it and cut what you would not say.

Do I own it?

Yes. Downloads come with full commercial rights. Amazon KDP requires you to disclose AI-generated text when you publish; the copyright page carries a one-line note you can edit.

Can I write it in Portuguese or Hindi?

Yes, in 48 languages. The whole book, cover and front matter included, is written in the language you choose.
