Pitch a child-sized adventure
Bring a premise with a vivid setting, a kind emotional arc, and moments where choice or personalization can matter.

For children's writers
Write interactive stories kids can step into.
TaleWisp is built around human-authored stories: warm, polished adventures where a child's name, avatar, and choices feel naturally woven into the book instead of pasted on afterward.
What you would create
Short, replayable story worlds with heart.
Think picture-book pacing, clear emotional stakes, gentle interactivity, and flexible moments where the reader's hero can belong in the scene.
Draft with interactive beats
Shape scenes around page turns, small decisions, and reusable character details like name, pronouns, avatar, and preferences.
Polish with the team
We review for voice, safety, pacing, continuity, and production needs before a story is prepared for families.
How personalization reads
Writers keep the manuscript readable.
In TaleWisp manuscripts, the reader and the hero are the same child. The $ shorthand points to that hero, so $name, $they, and $their can become Wendy, she, and her. Writers do not need to guess at grammar-safe cases like subject-verb agreement; the editor handles them.
Light story controls start with @: @if quietly varies prose, @choice creates a page-ending reader button, and @set remembers what happened for later pages.
What the writer sees
Draft
$name found a fox curled beneath the moonflowers.
"If $name speaks first, $theirvoice should feel brave but soft," the note said.
@if has_met_fox
The fox remembered $name and bowed.
@else
The fox blinked, meeting $their eyes for the first time.
@endif
What should $name do?
@choice "Wave gently" -> fox-friend
@set fox_trust += 1
@choice "Follow the glowing path" -> glowing-path
What the reader sees
