For Writers
Write stories that actually work
Dramatica gives you a complete Storyform for your idea, while Narrova™ and Subtxt help you turn that structure into scenes and pages without losing your voice.
Turn a vague idea or logline into a clear, testable Storyform. Know what happens next and why at every stage, and fix drafts that “don’t quite land” without throwing everything away.

Your Ideas. Your Voice. Dramatica as the Compass.
AI can be helpful. It can also be seductive—pulling you away from the work you actually want to do: shaping your story.
That’s why Dramatica’s use of AI is different.
Dramatica (with Narrova and Subtxt) is built to support authorship, not replace it. The goal isn’t to have AI write your screenplay or novel. The goal is to help you connect your creative instincts to story theory—faster, clearer, and with fewer dead-ends.
AI that strengthens the writer, not the output
Use AI as a focused collaborator that helps you:
- Clarify what your story is about (and what it’s not)
- Pressure-test your choices without losing your intent
- Spot structural inconsistencies before they become rewrites
- Explore alternatives while staying aligned with your voice
What Dramatica’s AI is for
Think of it as guided story thinking:
- Ask a precise question. Get a theory-grounded answer.
- Compare options. See tradeoffs clearly.
- Diagnose what’s not working. Fix it with intent, not guesswork.
What it’s not
Dramatica isn’t built to turn you into a prompt engineer—or to generate a “passable” story on your behalf.
Generation is available when you want it, but it’s not the point. You remain the author. The system is designed to keep your decisions coherent, your Throughlines aligned, and your story honest to what you meant.
Best for writers who want a light touch
If you’re making real progress and don’t want AI taking over, this is the workflow:
- Bring your story as-is (logline, scenes, outline, messy notes—whatever you have)
- Ask targeted questions (Goal, Stakes, Theme, Character arcs, Act drift)
- Get theory-driven clarity you can apply immediately
- Move forward with confidence—in your voice, on your terms
Common moments where this helps immediately
- “Act 2 sags and I can’t tell why.”
- “My Main Character feels inconsistent.”
- “The theme is there, but it’s not landing.”
- “I’m not sure my conflict is actually driving the plot.”
- “I need options—but I don’t want random ideas.”
Keep the driver’s seat. Gain a co-pilot. Dramatica helps you write the story only you can write—while giving you a reliable structure to steer by.
