Creating Your First Project

Projects are the top-level containers in InkSpire. Each project represents a separate book or major writing effort.

This guide walks you through creating your first project and explains what happens behind the scenes.

What Is a Project?

In InkSpire:

• A project contains chapters
• Chapters contain scenes
• Scenes contain your writing

Most writers use one project per book.

Creating a New Project

1. Launch InkSpire
2. Open the Project menu or toolbar
3. Select New Project
4. Enter a project title when prompted
5. Click OK to enter
6. Enter a description and click OK
7. Enter the Author Name for the cover page
8. Click OK to enter

The new project does not become the active project automatically. You will have to open it.

What Happens After Creation

Once a project is created:

• Open the project to start working in it
• The chapter and scene lists are initially empty
• InkSpire is ready for you to add chapters and scenes

At this stage, no writing has been created yet. This is expected.

Deleting a Project

Projects can be deleted when no longer needed.

• Deleting a project removes all associated chapters and scenes
• This action cannot be undone

If you may need the project later, consider backing it up before deletion.

Where Projects Are Stored

Projects are stored locally in InkSpire’s data files.

• No cloud storage is used
• Your writing remains on your computer
• InkSpire manages storage automatically

You do not need to manually create folders or files.

Common Questions

Why is the editor empty after creating a project?
A new project contains no chapters or scenes yet. Create a chapter and scene to begin writing.

Can I have multiple projects?
Yes. InkSpire supports multiple projects, and you can switch between them at any time.
