Turn places into discovery points

FOR CITY CLAIMANTS
Support a city without defining every story in it

READER TOOLS

THE CONNECTED MAP
Stories live somewhere.
Open a city to find its bookshelf, published stories, writers, Story Trails, and annual claim information. A city can keep growing as new voices connect their work to it.
THE CLAIM LAYER
One approved annual claim per city. Many stories per city.
A City Claim gives one approved business, creator, organization, project, or public-facing link a distinct annual placement. It does not limit the writers, books, stories, or Story Trails readers may discover through that city.
