Free Plot Mapper & Story Outline Tool | EpicScribe
Plan a novel or short story with a free, no-signup plot mapper. Organize plot beats and character notes using Three-Act Structure, Hero's Journey, or a Save the Cat! beat sheet.
How to map your plot
- Choose a structure and enter your story title.
- Describe what happens at each beat, from the opening setup to the climax and resolution.
- Edit, add, or remove beats to suit your story and add character notes.
- Save explicitly in this browser or download a readable outline and a JSON backup.
Where is my outline saved?
Browser saves stay on this device in this browser. They are separate from account outlines and are not synced to an EpicScribe account. Clearing browser storage can remove them; download a backup to keep a portable copy.
Can I continue in the editor?
You can open EpicScribe to write your story, but this standalone outline is not automatically transferred to the editor. Use the readable download separately.
