Constellation
Welcome to Constellation, an innovative platform for writers and their teams to build and manage narrative universes collaboratively.
What is Constellation?
Wanted to start writing your own universe, but it always seemed like something too big to handle properly? Narrative inconsistencies, forgetting events and characters, no project management solutions in traditional writing software...
Constellation aims to change that by giving you the tools you need to write a coherent universe and manage it as a first-class citizen. Create maps, character sheets, and relationships, all with quality text editing that incorporates our features seamlessly.
