Creating Interactive Stories

Q. A while ago fantasy game books were popular; at the end of each passage you read you chose from several numbered options to continue the story. Thus you could read the book several times over, each with a different storyline.

A. Inklewriter (www.inklestudios.com/inklewriter) allows you to do exactly that. It is designed to help writers create interactive stories with branching passages. It's very easy to use - there is no set up, nothing to programme, no diagrams to create and it's free. When you have created your story you can share it online or perhaps even get it converted to be read on a Kindle.
