Sharing Prompts

How to share prompts within Novelcrafter.

2 min read Last updated May 9, 2025

The Novelcrafter community is full of lots of wonderful creators who have developed their own prompts to use in the interface. There are two ways to share prompts within Novelcrafter.

  1. Privately through clipboard prompts
  2. Publically on our prompt hub (coming soon).

Clipboard Prompts

To copy a prompt that you own

In the prompt hub, go to a prompt that you have made. Click on the action menu on the right-hand side of the prompt, and select Copy to Clipboard .

Copy custom prompt

To add a prompt from another user

Here is a prompt that you can try out for yourself. It is the snowflake method prompt that has been shown on the Novelcrafter livestreams, adapted from Randy Ingermanson’s methodology.

To add a copied prompt to your prompt library:

  1. Go to prompts
  2. In the prompt selection area, click + new , then create from clipboard . Create prompt from clipboard
  3. A modal (pop up) will appear. Double check that you have imported the prompt you intended to, then click Add to Library . Clipboard modal for prompts

You can now see the prompt and make your own changes to it.

I pasted the prompt into notion/word/notepad, and it looks like a random string of letters. What is this?

This is intentional! Don’t worry, pasting it in place will return the prompt in its original form. The string of letters and numbers is done to compress the prompt so that you’re not copying and pasting lots of code.

The prompt won’t paste

If you’re on Chrome, check the right side of your address bar to ensure that you haven’t blocked the clipboard. Likewise, on other browsers, make sure you have allowed Novelcrafter access to the clipboard.

The Hub

New to Novelcrafter in May 2025, the Hub is a quick-and-easy way to try out prompts from the community, in addition to those written by the Novelcrafter team. You can also add presets to your library this way.
