What it is

A structured, self-paced approach to storytelling that works across contexts.

Built around the Moments Method®, the same framework used in every Revision Learning workshop, coaching session, and program.

StoryBuilder is our online storytelling platform for high school students and professionals. Use it to brainstorm, draft, and refine the stories that matter most: college essays, job interviews, networking, and beyond.

Because StoryBuilder is guided and structured, you can move through your work independently while staying grounded in the same framework taught in our live workshops and coaching. Parents and educators can trust that students are working within a thoughtful, intentional process.

What's included

Core tools, plus everything you need to go deeper.

Students can start using StoryBuilder for free to explore prompts, capture ideas, and begin shaping meaningful stories. As your goals evolve, additional support and structure are available through upgraded access.

Story Creation Tool

Craft and edit stories from beginning to end

A writing tool that helps you identify potential stories, think through a clear beginning, middle, and end, and revise drafts over time. Using the five steps of the Moments Method® (Find Stories, Focus In, Tell It Out Loud, Map It, and Focus Out), you brainstorm, draft, organize, and refine stories in a structured, intentional way.

Daily Story

Generate new story ideas through changing prompts

A new prompt every day to encourage reflection on different moments, experiences, and themes. Generate a new prompt anytime if you want to explore a different direction, while still being able to return to the original daily prompt when needed.

Self-Paced Courses

Learn core storytelling principles and apply them across contexts

17 courses covering general storytelling, college admissions, and career success, with interactive videos and quizzes. Learn at your own pace and apply concepts directly to your own stories. The free account includes 2 courses; upgrade for the full library.

Live Events

Community workshops and exclusive sessions

All StoryBuilder users get free access to our monthly Community Storytelling Workshops. These live, interactive sessions are led by expert Revision Learning coaches, and you can practice any story, learn the basics of the Moments Method®, and connect with fellow storytellers.

Upgraded StoryBuilder members also get access to exclusive events, including biweekly office hours with Nick Fernald, Revision Learning's founder. Bring your drafts, your questions, or just come to listen.

StoryBuilder is designed for high school students working on college essays and professionals working on career stories. The courses and tools are also accessible to motivated middle schoolers, college students, and adult learners.

Can teachers use StoryBuilder with their students?

Yes. The educator account is designed for exactly this. You can create student accounts, assign prompts and courses, and monitor progress through the educator dashboard. For schools and organizations bringing StoryBuilder to a whole class or cohort, see our org programs.

How is this different from other writing tools?

Most writing tools help you with one task. StoryBuilder teaches the Moments Method®, a framework you can apply to college essays, career stories, interviews, and beyond. The goal is a skill for life, not just one good outcome.

Do I need to upgrade to get the most out of StoryBuilder?

Not at all. The free account gives you full access to the story creation tool and Daily Story prompts, which are the core tools. The $25/year upgrade adds the full course library for deeper instruction. Many students and professionals get significant value from the free account alone.
