FAQ
How do I plan a novel with Reedsy Studio?
We built Reedsy Studio to be an all-in-one writing tool, which includes a story planner. One of Reedsy Studio’s best features is a unique feature called Boards which allows you to visualize the roadmap of your book, and refer to it anytime while you write.
What are Boards?
You can think of Boards as a canvas for planning and outlining your manuscript. Each board contains folders and cards, which you can use as creatively as you’d like. From character profiles to scene cards, the world (and the board) is your oyster. If you’re too busy writing to create a board from scratch, no problem! We provide ready-made community templates (for instance, a Hero’s Journey structure template) for you to download anytime.
How many boards can I create?
As of right now, you can create as many as you want to outline and plan your novel. In the future when our premium Outlining add-on is released, free accounts will be limited to one active board (any other previously created boards will be locked in view-only mode). Accounts with the Outlining add-on will retain unlimited boards, and gain access to additional features.
Can I share my boards with a collaborator?
Not yet, though this is a planned feature for the future. Meanwhile, if you want us to add a particular template to the tool, you can email us at ideas@reedsy.com!
Is Reedsy Studio free?
Yes! Reedsy Studio is currently 100% free. There will be premium features available for purchase in the future, but they are optional. Every functionality that you need to write a book in Reedsy Studio will remain free.
I’d like to share feedback about Reedsy’s already-awesome writing software and make it even better! How can I do that?
We work hard to improve our product. Feel free to email us at ideas@reedsy.com with some feedback and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
