What is Fictionary?

Fictionary is web-based software for outlining, writing and editing fiction with a focus on story structure. A manuscript is worked through scene by scene against story elements for character, plot and setting, with visualizations such as an automated story arc and AI feedback on each scene. StoryTeller is the version for writers and StoryCoach is a separate plan for professional editors; the company also sells a membership that adds live classes and a community.

Fictionary is a paid product with a free trial, starting at $14 per month, billed annually ($168); $19 billed monthly. See every plan

Good for

  • Novelists revising a first draft for structure before line editing
  • Genre fiction writers who want an outline template to follow
  • Freelance editors delivering structural edits to several clients

Worth knowing

  • There is no free plan: after the 7-day trial every plan is a paid subscription.
  • The support FAQ says it works in Safari or Chrome on a laptop or desktop, and that phones and tablets are not supported yet.
  • Manuscripts are imported only as Microsoft Word .docx files, and StoryTeller holds 3 manuscripts at a time unless you move to Premium.
  • Prices here come from an October 8, 2026 archive copy of the pricing page, because the live site showed a bot check.

Key features

Scene-by-scene story evaluation
A manuscript is assessed one scene at a time for character, plot and setting, covering points such as the scene goal, tension, conflict and point-of-view goals.
Story arc and 15 visualizations
Fifteen visualizations, including an automated Story Arc and a Story Goal Tracker, show where the structure has problems, and a Story Map gives an overview of the whole book.
AI feedback on every scene
A built-in AI writing instructor the company calls Edwina gives immediate, scene-specific feedback as you write or revise.
Genre-based outlining templates
Templates for different genres lay out a story arc to outline against, and the outline stays alongside the manuscript while you write.
Story Editing Journey
A step-by-step editing process tracks progress by scene and by story element, with explanations of terms such as entry hooks on hand as you edit.
StoryCoach for editors
The editor plan adds a client dashboard, editing notes shown beside each scene, track changes and a library of hundreds of prewritten suggestions.
