Every character gets their own voice — without hiring a cast.

Every speaker is tagged and cast for you; add sound and music around them.

The audio drama editor: the script with a background-effect block, a theme-music block, tagged dialogue for Mira and an unknown voice, and narration, with the Cast panel open and voices assigned.

Let readers play your story — your canon stays yours.

A listener plays one of your characters, and nothing they choose rewrites your canon.

The water is leaving the harbour faster than it should. Mira’s key is cold in your hand.

I run for the bell tower before the tide turns.
Sample scene · As Tom

Your move

  1. Ring the bell
  2. Go down to the archive first
  3. Ask Mira who gave her the key

Questions authors ask

Straight answers.

What does it cost?

Signing in, writing, editing and publishing to the StoryBloc store are free. Plans start at $20 a month, or $200 a year (2 months free), with credits included every month, and you can top up any time. Every job shows its credit cost before you confirm it. Pricing

Do I keep my rights?

Yes. You keep ownership of your book and everything you make, and you can download your MP3s. StoryBloc gets only the licence it needs to run and improve the service — the Terms spell it out.

How do I get paid?

You earn 60% of net receipts on book sales and coin unlocks, and 50% on Adventures and episodes. Net receipts are what listeners pay, less refunds, taxes, and payment-processing and app-store fees. Set up payouts with Stripe from your Earnings page; payouts are reviewed monthly and sent after sales verification, with a $50 minimum.

Which formats can I make?

AI-cast audio dramas, audio comics, and audiobooks and audio series, from a .doc or .docx manuscript (audio comics also take plain text). An audio comic can be built panel by panel or adapted from your manuscript with a story bible you approve. Around them, talkable characters and a World with Adventures.

Can listeners change my canon?

No. Listeners play Adventures and talk with your characters inside your World, and nothing they do rewrites your canon. Remixing your World is off unless you turn it on.

Where is it published, and can I distribute it elsewhere?

Publishing creates a release that StoryBloc reviews, then it goes on sale in the StoryBloc store. You can also download your MP3s and publish them anywhere you like.

Which languages and voices?

Filter the voice library by language, gender and age, or add a custom voice by describing it or from a recording you own. Each voice can be previewed before you assign it.

Your readers are already listening. Give them your book.
