StoryLoom’s mission is to provide a platform where creators can publish their content without the hurdles of traditional publishing, such as pitching books, enduring long waiting periods, and facing potential rejections. Unlike the traditional publishing model, StoryLoom empowers creators to:
- Create and Publish: StoryLoom offers a user-friendly, always-evolving toolset for creators to craft their own visual novels and interactive stories, and keep all rights to the original content they create. The platform’s constant improvement ensures a seamless experience for storytellers.
- Explore Fan Fiction in Shared Worlds: Starting with the success of the ‘Choices’ IP, StoryLoom now welcomes fanfiction creators to expand the universe and attract fans of the beloved ‘Choices’ franchise together in a ‘shared world’ experience.
- Tap into Literary Greatness: StoryLoom boasts books authored by renowned authors, including New York Times bestsellers, such as Jessica Khoury (creator of the highly popular story ‘Queen By Night’), Jim Dattilo, Pamela DuMond and Cassie Alexander. These authors, with notable writing achievements, set a high bar for quality content.
- Access a Literary Marketplace: Through the platform, writers and creators can upload backgrounds, music, sound, create characters and build choices in stories. StoryLoom also has future plans to open the marketplace to artists to sell assets and further add to its library of creator resources.
- Hone Diverse Storytelling Styles: StoryLoom provides a playground for different storytelling styles and formats, allowing creators to expand and refine their narrative skills while experimenting with new approaches.
This platform serves as a beacon for aspiring writers, offering a valuable alternative to showcase their talents and connect with a broad audience. StoryLoom envisions most of its top content to come from semi-professional creators while actively encouraging aspiring writers to participate, creating a diverse and dynamic content ecosystem.
