You can share just about anything with your Chapterly Audience! Start at your home page and select the type of content you'd like to share from the posting box at the top of the feed.

Note: You can also share some elements directly from the Writing Studio. Learn more.

To share any of the options shown in blue or green, you'll need to have those elements set up in your Writing Studio first. You can import your whole story as a file and let Chapterly organize it for you, copy-paste your content from elsewhere on the web, or use Chapterly's editing tool to write the story. The options shown in red can be uploaded from your device or, in the case of hyperlinks, copy-pasted from the web.

Each option will open a small screen to guide you through the steps of creating the post and show you a preview of what it will look like once it's published.

If you prefer an image instead of a gradient background, click the + sign in the gradient menu at the top right corner in the first step.

Each post is a 'snapshot' of the content at the time of your post. As such, if you make changes to it after the fact, you'll need to post again and delete the older post. This is a temporary inconvenience and will be rectified in the near future.

Note: The caption/description is NOT what will show at the top of your post within the feed. You can add the post text on the next screen.

  1. Quick Post
    Share a simple message with your followers. This can include links to content elsewhere on the web.

  2. Story

    Paste a link to share it with your followers. Be sure to upload a background image (with the + sign in the gradient menu) to make your post stand out!
