A character biography only matters if it alters the story. There’s no point detailing where someone was born or where they went to school or any other such detail. Writing that she shows up to work twenty minutes early because her dad always ran late will add texture to a scene.
Our writing is detailed enough for novelists, showrunners, game studios, and actors to use. We don’t cut corners with wordy writing. Save the details for when you’re ready. If you can tell us what you’re going to use this for, we will come up with the details.
Contradictions and the lack of self-awareness of people lends them their distinct qualities. A character must have a want, a fear that counters the want, and a habit that undermines them. Crafting that requires you to imagine a life and pick an unremarkable detail that will be significant 20 years later.
Generated biographies resemble a horoscope, with a pattern of a loss, a mentor, a hidden talent and a fear of being left, listed in the same order, for each character. It involves patterns that are plausible and interchangeable, so in the same batch, two characters can interchange their histories, and nothing will break.
We interview you on the character. The interview covers things you already know but have never documented. The writer then begins to build the rest of the character’s life based off the single, defining moment of the character. This is then compared to the structure of the plot you have given. Any points of the backstory that would make a writing of your given plot impossible is flagged.
Before delivering a biography, it’s tested against three normal situations: how a person would act being late, being lied to, and being praised in public. A document that can’t address these situations is more descriptive than useful, and it gets sent back for another try. The timeline dates are checked against your sources.
One rate, whatever the format: $10 per 100 words. You are paying for the writer’s time and judgement, so the price scales with the words rather than with a package tier.
| Typical character biography | Words | Writing | Fee (1%) | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single character profile | 800 | $80 | $0.80 | $80.80 |
| Lead cast (three characters) | 2,400 | $240 | $2.40 | $242.40 |
| Full ensemble bible | 6,000 | $600 | $6 | $606 |
The writer receives 100% of the writing price. Our 1% fee is added on top of it, and 0.5% is donated to tree planting. Full pricing breakdown.
Yes — 2 rounds are included, for 14 days after delivery, handled by the writer who wrote the piece rather than by someone new to the brief.
Yes, by assigning someone who already knows the subject rather than someone who will research it overnight. If we do not have the right specialist available we will tell you rather than take the brief and hope.
Very little is meant to be in the biography. It is a flexible draft where changes can be made to make the content searchable. For backstory, the writer can add that, but it will be formatted as prose instead of as notes.
Yes. The writer works within what is on the page, contradictions and all. You will get notes when two chapters have notes on a character’s age or history rather than a decision being made for you.

The tribute was heartfelt, but came close to ten minutes when I delivered it (I was supposed to stick to six). I removed it a night before because there wasn’t time to edit. Undoubtedly, it was my fault for putting it off. The words, however, were just right.
Project it to fifty people in a barn with terrible acoustics. Short. One idea each. It reached the back. I’ve since learned this was done with intention and was not just a matter of luck.
My voicemails have bordered on the rambly side while my sentences have been fragmented. Your speech has referenced four of my voicemails, and you even quoted them verbatim. Granted, you didn’t even touch the other voicemails and sentences. This blatant disregard is how you should prioritize and frankly is the ratio you should have.
We do not ask you to take the no-AI promise on trust. Each draft is run through these platforms and the reports are attached to your delivery email.
