The Problem
A Story Bible isn't a bible until it's actually structured to be checked mid-draft. This template organizes timeline, world facts, and character continuity into sections you can search in seconds, not a folder of scattered notes.
Who This Is For
Writers past the outline stage who need one place to check names, timelines, and established facts instead of searching the manuscript.
Learning Objective
Stop losing time to continuity errors by keeping one canonical reference you update as you write, instead of reconstructing details from memory.

Focused FAQ
Is this only for fantasy or sci-fi worldbuilding?
No — the continuity and timeline sections are genre-agnostic; literary and contemporary fiction need a Story Bible just as much.
Can I start this mid-draft?
Yes. Most writers start a Story Bible around the 20,000-word mark, once enough canon exists to be worth tracking.
