Style Marketplace

Overview

The Style Marketplace is where you find writing styles beyond the built-in ones, and where you can publish your own for other writers to use.

It holds styles built by the Genesis Writer team, from noir thriller voices to experimental literary textures to cozy romance, alongside any styles other writers publish.

Browsing the Marketplace

Open the Marketplace from the header and pick Writing Styles, or go straight to /styles. From the writer, open the Style selector and click Find more styles at the bottom of the menu.

Styles are shown as a grid of cards. Click a card to open its detail view, with the full description and a sample passage written in the style.

Tabs, Filters & Search

Reading Style Cards

Every style on the marketplace is displayed as a card. Here's what each element tells you:

• Illustration — a picture in our Genesis Painted house style that captures the style's mood.
• Name & tagline — the style's identity and one-line summary.
• Creator name — who built the style.
• Category badge — the genre category (Romance, Fantasy, etc.).
• Badges — Official for styles made by Genesis Writer, New for styles from the past week, and Learned for styles built from a writer's own writing samples.
• Heart — saves the style to your Liked tab.
• Add — puts the style in your Style selector (see below).

Cards don't show use counts, like counts, or ratings.

Previewing Before You Commit

Every style's detail view includes a sample passage written in that style. Read it before you add the style: if the sample reads like writing you want, the style will produce more of it. It's a better signal than the description or the category.

Adding a style is free and easy to undo, so the quickest real test is to add it, pick it in the Style selector, and write a scene with it.

Adding Styles

When you find a style you want to use, click Add on its card or detail view. The style immediately appears in your Style selector under Added, so you can pick it without going back to the marketplace.

What you add is private. Other writers can't see which styles you've added, and there's no limit on how many you add.

To remove a style, hover its Added button (on the card or in its detail view) and click Remove. From the writer, click Manage next to Added in the Style selector to open your added styles. Removing only takes the style off your list; it stays on the marketplace for you to add back anytime.

Featured & Official Styles

The Genesis Writer team picks standout styles for the Featured tab. There's nothing to apply for: the team looks through public styles and features ones that stand out.

Styles the Genesis Writer team made carry an Official badge and a check mark next to the creator name.

Publishing Your Own Styles

If you've built a custom style you're proud of, you can share it by setting its visibility to Public during creation or by editing it later. Publishing requires a paid plan.

When you publish a style:

• It appears on the marketplace for any Genesis Writer user to find.
• Your name is shown as the creator (see Creator Attribution below).
• Other writers can add it and use it in their projects.
• You control whether your pipeline prompts are visible or hidden.

For a step-by-step walkthrough of creating and publishing styles, see Creating Custom Styles. For general publishing guidance, see Publishing Your Creations.

Prompt Visibility

When you publish a style, you choose whether to make your prompts visible:

• Hidden — other writers can use your style but can't see the pipeline prompts. This protects the craft that went into building the style.
• Visible — other writers can read your system and user prompts for every pipeline stage. This lets them see exactly how the style works before adding it, helps them learn prompt design, and lets them make a copy they can edit.

You can change prompt visibility at any time by editing the style.

Creator Attribution

Every style on the marketplace shows its creator's name. This is automatic — when you publish a style, your Genesis Writer display name is attached to it. Creator attribution appears on the style card and in the detail view.

Styles made by the Genesis Writer team show “Genesis Writer” as the creator, with the Official badge. Styles published by other writers show that writer's name.

Tips for the Marketplace

• Read the sample first. Every style's detail view shows a passage in the style's voice. Descriptions can only tell you so much — the sample is the most honest signal a style can give you.
• Keep your list focused. Don't add every style you see. Keep your Added list to the handful of styles that serve your current project. You can always add more later.
• Try different genres. A mystery style can add tension to a thriller. A literary style can elevate a fantasy scene. Cross-genre experiments often produce surprising results.
• Share what you build. If you've crafted a style that works well, consider publishing it so other writers can use it too.
• Look at featured styles. They're a reliable starting point when you're exploring a new genre or voice.
