What is story bible software?

Story bible software is ops for fiction. Characters, places, world rules, plot threads. So chapter 27 does not contradict chapter 3.

Most novelists rebuild this in Docs, Notion, or sticky notes. Then they lose it. Then chapter 40 invents a new eye color and pretends it always was.

Typewriter's story bible is scoped to each book and sits beside the paper editor. Open it when continuity matters. Hide it when you are flying through a scene.

What the story bible holds

Characters. Places. World rules. Plot threads. The job is simple: remember what you already promised the reader.

On Typewriter Pro and Typewriter 1.0, the bible is a full stage tool. Not a buried settings panel you forget exists.

Why authors pay for bible depth

Free lets you write without a card. The moment cast and lore sprawl, bible becomes the product. That is Typewriter Pro at $4.99/mo. Cheaper than most “AI only” plans that still forget your cast.

CoAuthor tools can list and upsert bible entries so continuity work is not another spreadsheet. You still decide what becomes canon. The coauthor knocks. You accept.

Pairs with the relationship map

Cards are linear. Stories are graphs. Typewriter's map visualizes bonds and roles so series casts stay legible while the bible holds the prose notes.

FAQ

Is the story bible free?

Full story bible is on Typewriter Pro ($4.99/mo) and Typewriter 1.0. Free includes a 7-day full-tools trial so you can try bible, map, and outline before paying.

Does AI auto-fill the bible?

You can build by hand or use coauthor tools and import seeding. You are always in control of what becomes canon.

Is this the same as a Notion character database?

Notion can hold cards, but it is not a manuscript desk. Typewriter keeps bible entries next to chapters so continuity work and drafting share one home.
