FictionProof Junior: The Creative Catalyst for Young Writers v1.1
For the young writer who's always making up stories
FictionProof Junior asks your young writer questions about their own story, the way a good writing teacher would. Where they haven't figured something out yet, it tells them, and hands them the question that helps them figure it out. They do all the writing.
It works offline. No account, no upload, and no AI ever reads their story.
Made for grades 8 to 12. Younger writers can use it with a parent.
✨ Wonder Mode: build a whole world
Your young writer names their world, the big event that changed it, and a few of the people, places, and creatures who live there. Every question after that uses their names, so it feels personal:
"A stranger walks into the Glass Market for the first time. What do they see, hear, and smell first?"
Every new name they add opens new questions about it. When they're ready, they print a World Book: a cover with their name on it, a framed page to draw their map, everything they invented, and a starter outline for a story set in their world.
The questions come from the trigger questions I teach in Advanced Worldbuilding, rewritten for young writers.
