WriCo user guide

Give every story thread a place to belong.

Start with a five-minute project, then use task-based guides to shape characters, scenes, timelines, collaboration and revision.

WriCo is a story-planning workspace for novelists, screenwriters and narrative designers. This guide follows the work you actually want to do: create a project, make the story legible, review it and share the right version.

Use the guide by task

You do not need to read every article in order. Start with the quickstart, then search for the next decision in front of you.

Ready to begin?

Create a project, add one character and design one scene in about five minutes.

Start the quickstart

Choose a working style

Plot first: build plots and major beats before filling the scene sequence.
Discover as you write: start with a scene and organize elements as they become important.
Hybrid: protect the turning points and keep the connective tissue flexible.
