We believe great stories deserve to be told, and read, and heard… Whoever, however it’s written, the only criteria is “did our Reading Panel enjoy it?”
“Handwriting, then typewriting, then word processing… Times move on. Great Stories remain. Aito Stories don’t have strict word counts, aren’t judged by authors, and all are published.
Join us. Help us celebrate Great Stories…”
You can use AI to help write your story. Declare it, embrace it. The craft is in how you direct it, not whether you did.
The Aito writing agent voices your characters through ElevenLabs. Hear your dialogue before you submit. Know if it lands.
Nobody disappears into silence. Every submission goes live on the platform. Readers decide what moves them, independently of the judges.
A reading group of ordinary people judges the entries, not a panel of literary professionals. Genuine response over credentialled opinion.
Write one prompt. Let AI write the story. Submit the prompt alongside the entry. Because curation and direction are skills too.
Shortlisted writers get interviewed by the Aito agent. The podcast goes live. Your story reaches an audience beyond the competition.
The Aito agent assigns distinct voices to every character in your story. Press play. Hear whether your dialogue actually sounds like the person you imagined. These are real ElevenLabs voices, not a mockup.
From "The Cartographer's Daughter" by Sarah M.
