Crafting a story? 📚

You're not alone in this journey.

Here at Narrative First, we pride ourselves on knowing story and narrative theory better than anyone (or anything!) on the planet. We provide you with the tools and concepts you need to tell your stories more effectively. We're the creators of Subtxt - not just another generative-AI writing app, but a uniquely intuitive guide that blends together complex narrative theory and advanced LLM technology.

Without getting into a ton of detail, there's one thing you need to know about our approach: We train our AI on the meaning of a text, not the text itself. What this means is that you can be assured that you won't just get a regurgitated story based on the default runs of a large-language model. By training on the intent and meaning behind the words, Subtxt allows you to find your most authentic voice.

With Subtxt at your side, you'll write more engaging stories and get your first draft done faster.


Looking for more of a human touch? We've got you covered with our elite story development workshops.
