Tips & Tricks
Make the most of your story.
Next Message sends your story a chapter at a time — delivered as the story unfolds over any number of days. Tap the link and read in your reader. Here are a few ways to make it work for you.
Never lose your place
Your reader remembers exactly where you left off — even if you switch phones. Close the link mid-chapter and the next time you open it, you’re right back on the same line.
Pause and resume
Life gets busy. Text PAUSE to your story’s number and your messages stop until you’re ready. Text GO (or RESUME) when you want to pick back up.
Your story stays paused for as long as you need — it waits right where you left off until you text GO or RESUME. If a pause runs long, we’ll send a single friendly reminder so it doesn’t slip your mind.
Recap
Missed a few days? Text RECAP and you’ll get a quick summary of everything so far — written in the protagonist’s voice, like she’s catching a friend up.
Available once every 6 hours.
Read at your own pace
There’s no keeping up to do. Each new part waits in your reader until you’re ready — open the link whenever it suits you, whether that’s the moment it lands or a quiet evening a few days later.
Your reader is your library
Every day you’ve unlocked stays in your reader. Flip between days like chapters, revisit an earlier beat, or read a run of them in one sitting — it’s all there, always.
