If you’ve ever dreamed of writing stories and getting them in front of eager readers (and earning from your creativity), Ink Loom offers an experience unlike any other. Here’s how you can go from your very first idea to published, paid author in just minutes using our AI-powered platform.

Step 1: Sign Up and Get Free Quills

Getting started is easy—just sign up and receive free quills, your ticket to exploring the app’s creative features.

Step 2: Start Your Stories Project

Begin a new project where you can organize your story by chapters and scenes. Our intuitive interface lets you plan as much or as little as you want—start with a single scene, or outline your entire novel before writing.

Step 3: Create Scenes and Chapters with AI

Leverage the power of AI to generate entire scenes that flow naturally from one to the next, ensuring your story’s plot, characters, and pacing remain consistent and engaging. You can:

  • Generate text for scenes and chapters in any major literary genre
  • Use built-in suggestion prompts for ideas on adding drama, excitement, or depth
  • Adjust and edit AI-generated content to match your unique style

Step 4: Add Stunning Illustrations

Bring your story to life visually! Ink Loom’s AI can generate custom illustrations and cover art based on your chosen genre and style. Prefer your own artwork? You can also upload illustrations manually.

Step 5: Preview, Publish, and Share

Preview your finished project (optional but recommended), then publish it instantly:

  • Set your story as free or paid—no approval steps required
  • Get a shareable link for both the Ink Loom community and your personal audience
  • Start earning 100% of the proceeds from day one
