 * Hi Team,
 * Is there a way to create stories with block editors? I am aware there is a block
   editor quotes to embed but I am looking for adding a new story. Basically, I 
   do not want to use UI to create or add stories.

 * Correct, you can use the Web Stories block to embed stories in a post or page.
 * > Basically, I do not want to use UI to create or add stories.
 * Were you referring to the Web Stories editor? Could you please clarify if you
   were looking for a front-end story editor?

 * Yes, to create a story. Any shortcode or block editor? Or can I get the text 
   representation of the previously created so that I can reuse it instead of using
   Web Stories editor top create a new one.

 * While there are shortcodes and a block for embedding stories, there is no such
   thing for creating stories.
 * To create web stories, you’ll need to use the visual web story editor that’s 
   part of the plugin.
 * In the future we may add functionality to make it easier to programmatically 
   create stories (say, create a story from a blog post), but for now the visual
   editor is the way to got.
