Genre

Last updated on January 13, 2026

Genre

This is where you specify the genre of the story you’re writing, which affects the tropes, tone, and style of the outlines and prose that’s generated by Sudowrite. Rather than jotting down a literal genre, we recommend you unpack some of the themes and thematic elements you’re looking for in your story.

✏️

Examples

Space opera, science fiction

Historical Romance

Literary Realism

Alt history timeloop

✨

Pro-tip! Is the AI writing romance that’s a little tired? Change it to friends to lovers romance, or small town cozy romance, or avoid the term romance altogether. In general, you’ll get the best (least tropey) results if you can unpack the thematic elements you’re actually looking for.

Genre is filled in manually, and thus is not informed by any other Story Bible fields. Meanwhile, the Genre influences Synopsis, Outline, Scenes, and Prose Generation (in Draft).
