What’s a Hypnovel and How Can I Create One?
A Hypnovel is a new way to experience and/or create the first chapter of a novel. (Other chapters work too, but Chapter 1 usually works best.) Narration, image, and motion, all generated by AI, come together with great storytelling in a way that’s less literal than traditional animation (hence the “hypno”) and more sensorily engaging than an audiobook, in a style that makes the chapter unique and compelling.
Put another way? We’re using the power of AI to develop a new form of creative expression for authors — especially the countless independent writers who are mostly underappreciated, underslept, and underread — who want to reach and engage readers in a powerful new way. We want to give them a stronger voice for advancing their novels, which cost them a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and years to write. We believe Hypnovels can help authors reach more readers, and publishers and booksellers sell more books.
Writers, publishers, and readers can also create and/or enjoy an endless number of works of fiction — and nonfiction — in Hypnovel form.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Choose a book to Hypnovelize.
Select text from the book.
Choose the setting, opening scene, and recurring scene.
Choose from a large menu of visual styles, such as
Ballpoint drawing:
Graphic novel:
Noir:
Mixed media:
and many more.
Choose a voice to narrate your Hypnovel.
Give the Dreamaker a few moments to come up with four opening possibilities, choose one, and… generate!
In a few hours, you’ll have a Hypnovel. Want features like intro and music? You can easily add post-production effects to make your new creation even more compelling.
Or try again, with different prompts.
Creating a Hypnovel can be at least as engaging as experiencing the finished product.
We can’t wait to see what you produce…
