Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and non-transitory, tangible computer-readable media associated with facilitating publishing of written material. In various embodiments, an interactive story compiler provides stored questions and stores the written responses created in return. The author may then publish his or her various written responses as a book. The author may invite other people to collaborate or to read the written responses as they are prepared. In various embodiments, other users of the interactive story compiler may create compiled books using written responses from various authors, such as by searching for responses and compiling the results of the search. These compiled books may comprise related responses, such as responses related by keyword or by time period.
