Built by the team behind
Indie Author Magazine.
We've served 80,000+ indie authors since 2021. StorytellerOS is the next chapter — bringing everything we've learned into one intelligent platform.
Our Story
In 2021, we launched Indie Author Magazine to serve the indie author community. What started as a weekly magazine grew into an ecosystem of six brands, 80+ expert contributors, and a community that reaches tens of thousands of authors every week.
After years of hearing the same frustration — “I spend more time managing tools than writing books” — we knew we had to build something better. Not another tool. An operating system. One that connects your entire author business while respecting your privacy and your data.
StorytellerOS is that system.

What We Stand For
Privacy Is Non-Negotiable
Your manuscripts in YOUR GitHub. Your data in YOUR Airtable. Your AI keys on YOUR terms. We never see, store, or train on your creative work.
Built by Authors, for Authors
Every feature is designed by people who understand the publishing business — because we live it every day.
Freedom Over Lock-In
Your content stays in standard formats on your own cloud storage. Cancel anytime and take everything with you. No questions, no penalties, no hostage data.
“Chelle and her team have built something so comprehensive it feels like I conjured it from a dream, and the fact that you own all your own data plus access to a vast indie publishing knowledge base makes it an absolute no-brainer.”
