For writers
Write branching fiction. Get read. Get paid.
Boughly is the home for interactive prose. Build a branching story in a visual editor, publish it to readers in minutes, and keep 70% of every coin spent on your stories.
No account needed to read. Publishing is free — you only ever share revenue on paid unlocks.
A real branching editor
Write in a visual graph — scenes, choices, variables, and conditions — not a wall of macros. A built-in linter catches orphaned scenes, dead ends, and unreachable branches before you publish.
Analytics no one else gives you
See exactly where readers drop off, which choices they pick, and how often each ending is reached. Branch-level insight to make your next chapter land.
Readers replay your work
A collectible endings board and a journey map turn your story into something readers come back to — chasing the endings and paths they missed.
No lock-in
Import from Twine and export to Twee, ink, Markdown, or EPUB anytime. Your story is yours — bring it in, take it out.
Fair, transparent economics
Readers buy coins and spend them to unlock your paid stories. You earn a flat 70% of the face value of every eligible paid coin spent on your stories — Boughly keeps 30% and pays payment-processing and payout costs from it. The math is published, not hidden. Payouts run monthly via Stripe Connect once you clear a $10 balance. Free stories with tips are a great way to build an audience first.
You own your audience
Readers follow you and get notified when you publish. Build a readership that comes back for the next chapter.
Honest labeling
Content ratings, content warnings, and transparent AI-use labels — so readers know what they're getting and trust what you make.
Serialize it
Publish multi-chapter books, schedule chapter drops, and keep readers coming back — branching or linear, your call.
Your first branching story is a few scenes away.
Start from a template, connect a couple of choices, and publish. You can always import a story you already wrote in Twine.
