Help & docs
Content types
The fourteen kinds of writing Oghmere supports, and what comes with each.
Every project has a content type — the kind of writing you are doing. It is the choice that shapes everything else: the setup interview, the document types you can add, the stages each document moves through, and which coaches are recommended. You pick it when you create a project.
What a content type brings
- A document-type roster — the kinds of document you can add — chapters, scenes, statblocks, episodes, and so on.
- A stage machine — the path each document follows, from Ideation to Final edit, plus any stages the type adds.
- A recommended coach set — the coaches turned on by default for this kind of writing; the rest stay available.
The fourteen content types
- Blog — A blog where every post shares one voice, structure, and category set.
- Short fiction — A self-contained story, with planning documents for scenes and characters.
- Long-form nonfiction — Essays, reports, and book-length non-fiction, with chapters and supporting notes.
- D&D / TTRPG — Adventures, settings, and campaign material — Adventures add an encounter-balance stage.
- Screenplay — Scripts and scene work, with beat-sheet and table-read stages and a script layout.
- Novel — Book-length fiction organised into chapters, scenes, characters, and worldbuilding.
- Memoir — Real-events non-fiction in chapters, vignettes, and a timeline.
- Newsletter — Dated issues and standing pages for a recurring newsletter.
- Poetry — Individual poems and the sections or movements that group them.
- Academic writing — Thesis-driven essays with literature reviews and appendices.
- Stage play — Scripts for the stage, with beat-sheet, table-read, and staging-notes stages.
- Comic script — Scripts for comics, broken into pages and panels.
- Interactive fiction — Branching stories built from passages and state nodes.

Changing type later
A project’s content type is set when you create it and shapes the setup interview. Pick the closest fit — you can always add a blank document, which is available in every content type, when a piece does not fit the mould.
