Frequently Asked Questions

Questions families ask first.

View All FAQs

Who owns the stories created in StorySmith?

Writers retain ownership of their stories, characters, worlds, locations, and original creative content. StorySmith stores that work so the platform can provide its writing and learning tools.

Can I export my writing?

Yes. StorySmith includes export foundations for manuscripts and keeps billing-restricted accounts able to reach export tools.

What is a monitored writing profile?

A monitored profile clearly shows that an account owner can manage permissions and review its activity or creative work. Monitoring is visible and is never hidden from the writer.

Are private profiles visible to parents?

Private profile creative work and learning activity remain private. Account owners can manage account-level matters without receiving invasive access to private writing.

Does AI write stories for the user?

StorySmith AI is designed to assist creativity. Suggestions appear as previews and never overwrite a writer’s work automatically.

How do AI credits work?

Subscription credits are used first, then earned credits, then purchased credits. Failed requests automatically return the credits they consumed.

Will downgrading delete my work?

No. Plan changes never delete profiles or creative content. A Family-to-Creator downgrade requires resolving extra profiles safely first.

How does typing practice measure progress?

Typing attempts record words per minute, accuracy, mistake count, pass status, and practice history for the active writing profile. Monitored-profile summaries are visible to the account owner; private-profile progress remains private.
