Give every story a place to grow.
A thoughtful creative workspace for writers, families, and imaginative learners.
Academy
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.
Can Academy courses be changed?
Yes. Administrators can edit, publish, archive, and safely delete unused courses and lessons. Learner history prevents destructive deletion and remains preserved through archival.
Accounts
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.
AI
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.
Billing
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.
Founders
How does founder voting work?
Each founder account receives one vote, regardless of how many writing profiles belong to the account. Founder voting routes remain unavailable to non-founders.
Who can see the Hall of Founders?
The complete Hall of Founders is visible only inside the authenticated StorySmith application. The open website contains a Founder Program teaser, while voting remains limited to active founder accounts.
Parents
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.
Writing Academy
Is the Academy curriculum finished?
Stage 12 replaced the provisional Academy presentation with expanded instruction, practical exercise submissions, editable curriculum administration, and a complete interactive typing course. Administrators can continue refining content without changing application code.
