Platform

Story development built on narrative theory.

Narrative.new is a complete story development environment — from source material ingestion through structured iteration to export-ready drafts. Built for how professional storytelling actually works.

The Framework

Write. Refine. Adapt.

Write

Draft acceleration

From concept to script with structural support at every stage. Beat development, scene building, character work, dialogue refinement — tools that help you build, not tools that write for you.

Refine

Story Notes & iteration

Coverage-grade analysis of your work. Structural notes, character evaluations, compare views across drafts. Feedback that leads to clearer next steps, not vague suggestions.

Adapt

Source material & IP

Ingest novels, articles, scripts, and research. Universes organizes source material into structured development assets — characters, themes, world rules, adaptation angles.

Built for Collaboration

Development is a team sport.
