Go From First Draft to Liftoff
If you’re reading this, your mission is clear: build worlds, create civilizations, and boldly write the story you’ve always dreamed of telling. Ground control to fearless writer—all systems go!
Buckle In To Your Story
The Manuscript Module doubles as a rift in the fabric of reality—a gateway to your story’s world. Teleport to a tailored sci-fi writing space with features like Focus Mode, custom project themes, and the Notes sidebar to pull up notes without breaking focus.
Channel your inner astro-botanist or xenologist and track the myriad flora and fauna discovered across your universe in the Species Module. Exotic plants, curious alien species, and friendly robots await!
Write Wikis on Any Topic
Create articles on sci-fi worldbuilding elements like xeno-foods, supernova fashions, and space-faring technologies with the Encyclopedia Module. Its uses are infinite with tools like article summaries, images, and stats tables.
Organize Your Galaxy-Spanning Empire
With 100+ attributes to choose from in the Characters Module, build your constellation of characters. Then, arrange your galactic council or ragtag starship crew in a flowchart to navigate their feelings and roles with the Relationships or Systems Modules.
Map everything from the local waterhole on a planet at the edge of the frontier to star maps marking jump gates across the galaxy. The Maps Module ensures you leave no system unexplored with custom pins, zones, and measuring tools.
Use the Timeline Module’s adaptable canvas to plot your story’s timeline from the cosmic level down to each individual particle. Organize event cards with rows and dividers, make color-coded connections, and store important details in each.
Craft Custom Calendars
Stick to the rules of relativity with the help of fictional calendars for tracking the eras, seasons, months, weeks, and even moons for every world in your story. Most importantly, never forget a character’s birthday or planetary holiday!
Campfire is made up of modules designed to help you plan, plot, and publish everything from your novel and character sheets to story outlines and interactive maps.
Customize Everything
Campfire modules are built on panels that you can move, resize, and modify to fit various information or images for your story. Try two of them below!

Keep Your Notes Connected and Consistent
Save your scene ideas and plotlines from the blackhole of a haphazard board of stickies or strewn-about pile of notebooks. Use element tagging to instantly access your notes right when you need them, and never lose track of a detail again.
Private
Unless you invite others to your Campfire project, your writing will always stay private.
Secure
While you zip around the stars at lightspeed, we’ll keep your story safe with automatic backups.
Yours to Keep
You’ll always have access to your saved elements as read-only if you ever change your plan.

It's just the best and most robust writing tool for how my galactic brain is mapped.

Campfire has made my writing process so much easier! I have been building a huge world for about 15 years now, but I was always getting lost in it. Organising characters [and] locations and finding them [tagged] in my [manuscript] has changed everything for the better.

Campfire is an amazing place to sort through ideas and keep everything together; and [it] has everything you need to worldbuild, write, and publish any type of content.
