Drafting Tales

Drafting Tales is a writing game in which you start as a new writer working from your apartment and aim to become a well-known, successful author. You create literary works whose quality depends on your genre and topic choices, along with the effort points you assign to their literary elements.

Develop your writing

You can write articles, short stories, non-fiction and novels. Ask your peers for feedback to discover effective genre, topic and effort-point combinations. Inspiration is limited, so you need to plan how many works to produce while keeping up with expenses.

As you gain experience, you unlock new work types, genres and topics, as well as purchasable items that provide perks to improve your work and help you progress.

Publish your work

Query agents and publishers, get your work published, receive reviews and gain fans. You can also customise and self-publish books, and post articles and short stories on your website. Your work can be nominated for awards.

Build your career

Earn money, buy items from the store and upgrade to a new home. The goal is to retire rich and famous on your yacht.
