I regularly use Storychief for storytelling and also for post on my social accounts. The features are unique and I can save I save a lot of time every day. The support is very useful and very fast to answer to my requests. They often update with a new features and no issues happens. 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!

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.

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.

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.
