How to turn a roleplay into an illustrated novel on LiveNovel

Updated September 13, 2026 · By LiveNovel

On LiveNovel the story you play does not have to stay a chat log. Story Studio turns a roleplay into an illustrated prose novel you can read, download as a PDF, or list for sale. This guide explains how to go from a played scene to a finished, sellable book.

Why should I turn a roleplay into a novel? A raw chat is disposable; a novel is not. Converting a roleplay into illustrated prose gives you something to reread, share, and sell — and gives other readers a finished story rather than a transcript.

What kind of scene should I start with? Start from a roleplay you have actually played. The stronger the scene, the better the novel that comes out of it.

How do I open Story Studio? Take the saved roleplay into Story Studio, which rewrites the play into illustrated prose rather than leaving it as a log.

How do I read or export the novel? Read the finished novel in the app, or export it as a PDF to keep or share.

How do I list the novel for sale? If you want, list the novel in the marketplace. Authors keep the majority of each sale, so a story readers enjoy can also earn.

How do I set an author handle and price? To sell, set your author handle and choose a price for the listing. Listings are subject to moderation before they go on sale.

Frequently asked questions

Do I keep the money from sales? Authors keep the majority of each sale. The exact split and current details are shown in Studio.

Can readers get a PDF? You can export your own novel as a PDF. What buyers receive is shown on the listing.

Does my listing need approval? Yes. Listings pass through moderation before they appear for sale.
