StanzaHelp Center

The Library is your map of Stanza. The main navigation stays short (Stage, Search, Alerts and Community), and everything else lives in the Library, sorted into clear sections. You can reach any tool, space or inbox in a couple of taps.

The five sections

  • Create: start something new. Compose (write a poem), Spoken Word (record audio), Writing Space (drafts and your private journal), plus Live and Podcasts where they're available.
  • Explore: find new work. Discover, Search, Open Calls, Live and Podcasts.
  • Community: the people and places around you. Community, Circles, Organizations and Lists.
  • You: your own things. Notifications, Saved (your private bookmarks), Org Requests, Confectionaries, Submission Tracker, Critiques and your Profile.
  • Account: Settings and Support.

Some tiles only appear when that feature is available to you, and tiles marked "New" are recent additions.

Live badges

Tiles show live counts where it helps: unread notifications, pending organization requests, and how many performances are live right now. Badges hide at zero and show "99+" once a count gets large.

Get there fast

  • Search the Library: the search box at the top filters tiles by name.
  • Jump to…: in the More menu (and the desktop sidebar), type the name of any place or setting and go straight there. On a computer, press Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K on a Mac). See "Search Preferences and Jump To".
  • Pin your favourites: pin up to four places to the More menu so they're always one tap away. See "The More Menu and Pinned Places".

Organization profiles

When you're acting as an organization, the Library changes to match. It shows tools for running the organization, such as Publications, Submissions, Spotlights, Collections, Open Calls and Staff, instead of your personal ones. Switch back to a personal profile and your own Library returns.

tip

Can't remember where something lives? Open Jump to… and type a word or two. It searches both places and settings.
