The Storyteller's Shelf Podcast
Our writing and publishing podcast and online writing platform for authors were featured in The Texas Signal!
The Storyteller’s Shelf Podcast began as a place where writers could learn from authors, editors, illustrators, and publishing professionals. Those conversations helped inspire Storyrise, a writing platform where authors can write and organize books, connect with beta readers and fellow writers, and maintain control over their work.
Thank you to every guest, viewer, and member of our writing community who has been part of this journey.

Be honest, authors. How many documents do you have open right now for the same draft?
One for the current version. One for deleted scenes. And one you are too nervous to delete. 😅
That is exactly why we created Branches in Storyrise.
Which draft file are you afraid to close?
