A Perfect Story Map · by Ludara.AI

Every scene of a novel
on one living map.

A Perfect Story Map is an interactive companion for novels. Readers follow the story's journey across real and imagined places, discover what happens in each location, search by character or scene, and return after the last page to relive the whole book at a glance. Built for publishers, authors, book clubs, and launch campaigns.

Shantaram

a novel by Gregory David Roberts

From a prison wall in Melbourne to a Colaba cafe table, a village in the rains, and the mountains of a distant war.

Both are independent demonstrations, built to show what a companion map does for a book. They are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or licensed by any author, publisher or production. Every description is in our own words and nothing from the source is reproduced.

Where It Works

Built for launch campaigns, book clubs, and special editions.

A QR code in the book

Printed on the endpapers or the maps page, the story map becomes part of the reading experience of every copy sold, print or ebook.

A launch-campaign link

A shareable, press-ready asset for the publication campaign: social content, newsletter feature, and a reason for readers to talk about the book.

A book-club companion

The printable guide turns any reading group evening into a journey through the novel, with the discussion built around its places.

A premium edition asset

For anniversary and collector editions, the map is the extra that feels like a gift: the beloved book, made explorable for its most devoted readers.

Spoiler-safe: with the publisher's chapter data, the map can reveal places chapter by chapter, so readers explore only as far as they have read.

What a Story Map Is

The novel, made explorable.
For readers, book clubs and the launch campaign.

A companion to reading

Every place tells you what happens there in the novel, who you meet, and where it sits in the story. Readers search by place, or by character.

The Story Path

One tap draws the whole journey in narrative order across the world. After the last page, one glance brings the whole story back.

Bookmarks

Readers mark the scenes that stay with them: a record of their journey through the book, kept even after the map is closed.

Made for book clubs

One tap turns bookmarks, or the whole Story Path, into a beautiful printable guide for a book club evening or a reading group.

Word of mouth, made visible

Readers share their map of the book with friends by message or email. Every shared map is a recommendation for the novel.

Every language, every edition

We produce the map in every language the book is published in. We build and maintain it with the publisher; the book's editors hold the source of truth.

Shall we map your novel?

The map ships as a QR code on the endpapers and a link in your marketing kit. We build and maintain it; your editors hold the source of truth.
