You tell us your genre, your protagonist, your themes. We write you a complete 30-chapter novel and deliver it one chapter a day by email. Every story is generated fresh — yours alone.
$9 buys you one complete story arc — 30 chapters, generated in full before the first one lands in your inbox. No subscription, no auto-renewal. When your arc ends, you decide what happens next.
Payment is handled by Paddle. They're the ones who charge your card, send your receipt, and deal with tax. We just write your story.
Your story is generated the moment you complete onboarding — that's where the cost sits. So our refund window is tight: if you haven't received your first chapter yet and it's within 24 hours of purchase, just email us and we'll refund you in full.
After that, refunds aren't available as standard. But if something went wrong on our end — a technical failure, a billing error — contact us and we'll sort it.
Your story is for you. Don't resell it, republish it commercially, or try to scrape the platform. Don't create multiple accounts to game anything. Just read and enjoy.
Your story is generated by AI. We put a lot of care into how that works, and we think the results are genuinely good. But we can't guarantee every story will be exactly what you imagined — that's the nature of the medium. We don't offer re-generations for stylistic reasons once delivery has started.
Silicon Shepherd is ours. Your story is yours to read and keep. You can't resell it or republish it without asking us first. We don't claim any rights over the preferences you gave us to make it.
We provide this service in good faith and do our best to make it work well. If something goes wrong, our liability is limited to what you paid us. These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales — though if you're an EU consumer, your local rights still apply.
If we change these terms in any meaningful way, we'll update the date at the top. Carrying on using Silicon Shepherd after that means you're happy with the new version.
Silicon Shepherd is operated by Richard Connor. Any questions, email [email protected] — we actually read it.
