Every writer deserves a staff.

Studios have researchers, fact-checkers, script supervisors, continuity editors. Now your desk does too. Storskarvia does everything for your draft except write it — that part stays yours, provably.

Skarv · Head of Staff

Storskarvia never writes a word for you.
It reads, researches, checks, and remembers — the byline is the one thing it won't touch.

The Fact-Checker

Findings only — no flattery. Other AI tools spend half their output congratulating you. Storskarvia's checker structurally cannot praise: defect cards with evidence and citations, or one quiet line — "No issues found."

The Period Expert

Writing 1962? Storskarvia knows ZIP codes arrived in 1963, the 727 entered service in '64, and Bonanza ran on NBC. Period details get checked against the year your pages state.

The Skeptic

Every finding must survive a second reviewer whose only job is to refute it before you ever see it. When Storskarvia flags something, it's worth your time.

The Researcher

Highlight a passage, ask anything — "how does an arraignment actually work?" — and get cited answers filed into your project's research library.

The Continuity Editor

Mara's eyes were green in chapter two and brown in chapter fourteen. Someone on staff should catch that. Now someone does.

Your Cloud, Not Ours

Your manuscript's home is your own storage — Dropbox today, more soon — saved as you write, readable in any text editor, forever. Storskarvia keeps only a working copy for its checks. Continuous autosave and version history included.

One studio, every long-form format

The same staff, the same fact-checker and continuity editor, whatever you're writing. Pick a format and the editor already knows its rules.

Live

Novels

Write in one continuous manuscript; Storskarvia notices your chapters, prologue, and epilogue and turns them into a navigator you can jump around — no forced splitting.

Live

Film & screenplays

True Courier pagination, Final Draft (.fdx), Fountain, and Movie Magic in and out, and a UK/BBC television preset for the writing surface.

Live

TV series

Episodes that share one world, one Story Bible across the whole series, and one-sheet pitch templates.

Live

Stage plays

Standard play format — centered character cues, italic stage directions, act and scene structure — the way a script hits a director's desk.

Live

Audio drama & podcasts

Narration, character dialogue, and SFX and music cues, with runtime estimated from the spoken word — the scripted-podcast format done right.

Live

Broadcast & video

Two-column A/V scripts — visuals on the left, audio on the right, locked row by row — the way news and TV segments are actually written.

Storskarvia — from storskarv, the great cormorant, a word the Scandinavian languages share from Old Norse skarfr: the working bird that dives for the catch and brings it back. The catch was always the fisherman's.
