The trio behind the Sterling & Stone indie publishing company hope to raise $80,000 on Kickstarter. They intend to use the funds to hire developers to create a story writing app called StoryShop. We’ve embedded a video about the project above.
Here’s more from the Kickstarter page: “We’ve tried for years to fit our story planning square pegs into the available round holes, and found that they never quite fit. We love the tools we use daily, like Scrivener and Evernote and Slack and Asana, but we’ve reached a point in our process where keeping track of our worlds and characters and stories in tools that were intended for other purposes is now a productivity bottleneck. But whether you’re a pro or a novice, this tool is specifically designed so you can create rich characters and stimulating, consistent worlds that your readers will want to return to again and again.”
