Style Marketplace

Overview

The Style Marketplace is where the Genesis Writer community shares writing styles. It's a discovery hub for finding the perfect voice for your story — and a publishing platform for sharing your own custom creations with other writers.

You'll find curated preset styles built by the Genesis Writer team alongside styles created by community members. Everything from noir thriller voices to experimental literary textures to cozy romance styles. If a voice exists, someone has probably built a style for it.

The Style Marketplace — browse and discover writing voices from the Genesis Writer community

Browsing the Marketplace

Access the marketplace from the main navigation bar by clicking Marketplace, then selecting the Styles section. You can also reach it from the Style Selector in the writer toolbar by clicking Browse All Styles.

The marketplace displays styles as a grid of cards, each showing the style's name, illustration, category, and creator. Click any card to open its detail view, where you can read the full description, see ratings, and run a Style Test.

Filtering & Sorting

With dozens of styles available, filtering and sorting help you find what you need quickly:

Reading Style Cards

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

• Name & tagline — the style's identity and one-line summary.
• Illustration — a unique ink drawing in the Genesis Ink art style that captures the style's mood and personality.
• Category badge — the genre category (Romance, Fantasy, etc.).
• Creator name — who built the style. Preset styles show “Genesis Writer” as the creator.
• Ratings — Creativity, Consistency, and Freedom scores that help you understand what to expect.
• Usage count — how many writers have added this style to their library. Higher numbers suggest a well-tested style.

Previewing Before You Commit

Never add a style blindly. The marketplace gives you Style Test directly from the detail view so you can preview what a style does to your text before adding it.

1. Click a style card to open its detail view.
2. Click Style Test.
3. Paste a passage from your story (your actual prose, not generic text).
4. Review the styled output and compare it to your original.

Style Test costs a small number of tokens, but it's the single best way to avoid picking a style that doesn't match your vision. A style that sounds great in its description might not fit your specific story.

Adding to Your Library

When you find a style you want to use, click Add to Library on its detail view. The style immediately appears in your Style Selector under your library, giving you quick access without navigating back to the marketplace.

Your library is personal and private. Other users can't see which styles you've saved. You can add as many styles as you want — there's no limit.

To remove a style from your library, open its detail view and click Remove from Library. This only removes it from your quick-access list; the style remains on the marketplace for you to add back anytime.

Featured & Curated Styles

The Genesis Writer team periodically features standout styles on the marketplace. Featured styles appear in a highlighted section at the top and have been reviewed for quality, creativity, and reliability.

To submit your own style for featured consideration, set its visibility to Curated during creation (or update it later). The team reviews curated submissions and promotes the best ones. There's no guarantee of being featured, but styles with clear identity, well-crafted prompts, and genuine utility have the best chance.

Publishing Your Own Styles

If you've built a custom style you're proud of, you can share it with the community by setting its visibility to Public during creation or by editing it later.

When you publish a style:

• It appears on the marketplace for any Genesis Writer user to discover.
• Your name is shown as the creator (see Creator Attribution below).
• Other writers can add it to their library 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 your creative work and the craft that went into building the style. Most marketplace styles use this setting.
• Visible — other writers can read your system and user prompts for every pipeline stage. This is great for educational purposes, for building community trust, and for helping other writers learn prompt engineering. Styles with visible prompts often get more engagement because users can see exactly what makes them tick.

You can change prompt visibility at any time without affecting users who already have the style in their library.

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, in the detail view, and in the Style Selector.

Preset styles built by the Genesis Writer team show “Genesis Writer” as the creator. Community styles show the individual creator's name. This helps users identify the source of each style and discover more work from creators they enjoy.

Tips for the Marketplace

• Always preview first. Run a Style Test with your actual story text before adding a style to your library. Descriptions can only tell you so much — the real test is seeing the output.
• Build a curated library. Don't just add every style you see. Keep your library focused on the 5–10 styles that genuinely serve your current project. You can always add more later.
• Check the ratings. High Creativity + low Consistency means wildcard output. High Consistency + low Freedom means tight, predictable prose. Match the ratings to what your scene needs.
• Try different genres. A mystery style can add tension to a thriller. A literary style can elevate a fantasy scene. Cross-genre experimentation often produces surprising results.
• Share what you build. The marketplace thrives on community contributions. If you've crafted a style that works well, consider publishing it — other writers will thank you.
• Look at featured styles. They've been reviewed for quality and are a reliable starting point when you're exploring a new genre or voice.
