Getting Started with Pinallo

Create your account, open a project, and complete the six writing phases from idea to manuscript.

Open notebook with outline notes and pen

Create your workspace

Sign up at app.pinallo.com, verify your email if prompted, then open the dashboard. Choose Create New Project and set your working title, genre, fiction mode, and target word count.

These choices tune onboarding and AI assistance. You can refine them later — do not wait for a perfect title before starting.

Move through the six phases

Pinallo guides you through Setup, Writer, Story Bible, Outline, Interview, and Manuscript. Each phase builds context the next one uses, so skipping ahead often creates thinner drafts.

Use the Story Bible to lock characters, setting, and tone. The Outline phase turns that into chapter structure. Interviews deepen motivation and conflict before long-form drafting.

Export, print, and audio

When the manuscript feels solid, explore cover design, print author copies, and audiobook generation from the same project. Paid plans unlock the full set of AI writing, covers, print, and audio features.

Compare plans anytime on pinallo.com/pricing, or ask Pinallo Help from any page if you are unsure which path fits.
