Collaboration

Share your stories with writing partners, create private reader groups, and publish to the community.

Collaboration Options

AIStoryHub has two collaboration surfaces: Private Groups for beta readers, and the public Community feed.

Private Groups

Private Groups are curated reading circles for beta readers and writing groups, managed from Groups in the sidebar (/groups). Members access stories through a private token URL — no account sharing required.

1

Create a group

Go to Groups in the sidebar and name your group. A unique share link is generated automatically.

2

Invite members

Add members by email. Invitation status is tracked — you can see who has joined and remove access at any time.

3

Publish stories to the group

Choose which stories to share. Members access them at /s/[token] — a private, token-gated reading page.

4

Read and comment

Group members can read published stories and leave comments. They cannot edit content.

Group access model

  • • Members access stories via a private token URL
  • • You control which stories are published to each group
  • • Invite status tracked: invited, active, removed
  • • Members can read and comment only — no editing

Community Feed

The public community feed at /community is where writers publish chapters for the broader AIStoryHub community to read and react to.

Publishing

  • • Publish individual chapters to the feed
  • • Tagged by genre automatically
  • • Appears under your author profile

Discovering

  • • Browse by genre or sort by newest / most reacted
  • • React to stories you enjoy
  • • Follow authors

Downloading & sharing a chapter

Readers on the community reader can download any published chapter as an EPUB, or share it by direct link or email, right from the reader page, no account required to receive a shared copy.

The Writers' Room (Discord)

AIStoryHub also runs a Discord community for writers, separate from the in-app Community Hub. Weekly rhythms include The Week Ahead (goal-setting), a live Writing Sprint, and Feature Friday critiques.

Join at aistoryhub.co/discord.

Best Practices

Use Private Groups for beta reading

Groups are designed for structured feedback cycles. Publish one chapter at a time and collect comments before publishing the next.

Pick the right surface for the audience

Use a Private Group for beta readers who need read-and-comment access to specific stories. Use the Community feed when you want broader, public feedback on a chapter.

Share voice profiles with co-authors

For co-authored stories, agree on a shared Voiceprint style so both writers generate prose that sounds consistent.
