Story Library

Every story saved, with its consent.

Every interview, photo, and piece is saved and ready for your next report, grant, or appeal, with what the storyteller agreed to right beside it.

Every team can start free with one interview and one piece.

No more lost stories.

Great stories get lost in inboxes, shared drives, and the memory of whoever collected them. Story Engine keeps every interview, photo, and piece in one place for your whole team, with the storyteller’s consent beside it, so the right story is easy to find when a grant or report is due.

Why it matters

Your best stories, ready when you need them.

No more digging through inboxes and drives the night before a grant is due.

Saved as you go

Interviews, photos, videos, and every piece you make are saved without an extra step.

Easy to find

Search your interviews and your content.

Consent travels with it

Each interview and each piece shows what the storyteller agreed to.

How it works

How your stories are kept.

Step 1

Interviews, in one list

Every interview is on Interviews, from Still collecting to Approved, with its consent and its answers.

  • Every interview in one list
  • Search interviews
The Interviews list with an interview's ⋯ menu open, with options to view the signed consent form or mark consent withdrawn
Step 2

Content and media, saved too

Every piece you make is on Content, and your photos and videos are on Media.

  • Search content
  • Photos and videos on Media

Step 3

Check consent before you share

Each interview shows what the storyteller agreed to, and so does each piece’s source. A withdrawn interview is marked and deleted after 7 days.

  • Consent saved with each story
  • Withdrawn interviews are marked
