I’m able to publish my posts on the blog both in Italian and English version with no problems. Well done, thank you StoryChief team for your precious work!

Makes writing pleasant

winchweb May 28, 2020

I don’t get to write enough blog posts and articles, but when I do find the time, StoryChief is a great tool to get it done. The clear sequence to follow, the distraction-free writing, prompts to provide all the ‘stuff’ that surrounds an article eg. SEO, links into social media and also direct embed into the website… all make it a breeze. Highly recommended.

Love StoryChief

Excellent Tool for publishing

jernejdoles May 7, 2020

The platform is very user-friendly, and the support is excellent. It makes publishing enjoyable. For both: creator and the end-user. I have never had a chance to post so many different articles on so many destinations (social platforms, WP, emails). Extremely useful and practical.

Time saver

Before using StoryChief I was drafting in Docs, sending files, using a Task Managment to have all the process inline. Now with StoryChief save me time and money to run my blog.
