How to use Squibler's AI Crime Story Generator

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you craft your next murder mystery or crime fiction piece with Squibler:

1. Describe Your Crime Story in a Few Sentences

In the "Story Plot" section, give the AI a short, specific idea. Are you writing about a heist gone wrong? A missing person? A cold case reopened? A small-town secret with deadly consequences? Use this space to set the stage.

For example: “I want a suspenseful crime story about a journalist who uncovers police corruption while investigating a decades-old disappearance.” This starting input gives the story generation engine enough detail to build believable characters, develop a compelling narrative, and deliver key elements of crime fiction, including rising tension, emotional stakes, and unexpected turns.

2. Click the Generate Button to Start Writing

Once you're ready, click "Generate Story" to let the AI create your crime narrative. You’ll get a complete story structured with scenes, dialogue, and escalating conflict.

If you want to try different angles, hit “Regenerate” to explore alternate takes with varied settings, suspects, and plot twists.

What to Do After You Generate Your Crime Story

Once the story is generated, Squibler makes it easy to edit, expand, or publish. Whether you're an emerging writer or a seasoned novelist exploring new methods, you can use the output as a draft, a scene outline, or an inspiration hub.

Here's how to take your crime story further:

Generate an Entire Book or a Book Outline

If you have a Squibler account, this will prompt you to log in. If not, it will prompt you to sign up, which only takes a few seconds. Once you do so, you will land on Squibler's Editor, where you can select story length and continue building your own story.

Use it to generate more scenes, enhance pacing, deepen character arcs, or develop a crime series based on the AI-generated foundation.

Whether your goal is to write a gritty murder mystery set in dark alleys or a psychological thriller set in the shadows, the editor provides a diverse range of tools to build a solid foundation for your crime fiction universe.

Explore the Editor to Refine Key Elements and Structure

Your generated story is automatically saved inside Squibler’s Editor. From here, you can refine dialogue, build out backstories, deepen character development, and adjust plotlines.

The Editor supports consistent story generation while giving you full creative control. Add red herrings, surprise reveals, and moral complexity; all the elements that make great crime fiction unforgettable.
