Have a story of your own? Bring it to life in the Scrively. You can easily upload your text in just a few steps, generate beautiful illustrations for your existing story, and customize every page to match your vision. When you’re finished, your storybook will be ready to share in both print and digital formats.
From the Dashboard, click on "Upload a Story."
At the top, you’ll have the option to configure your “Advanced Options,” which we explain in more detail in our guide here.

We'll start with the "Upload File" option. Simply drag and drop your file into the upload area, or click it to browse and select a file from your device.
