I’ve only shared my favorites, but if you need more options here’s a bigger list of writing software and apps. Shaxpir is beautifully designed and has some really impressive unexpected features. Something that could help with the editing, or improving my writing, would be really valuable too. What I want is a program where I can add/organize my content into a book that ALSO offers some advanced tracking, so I can see long-term progress. However, I recently met the founder of Shaxpir and saw a demonstration, and it looks awesome… I signed up so I could make this video.īasically, I don’t need a program to add all my content. There are other online writing apps and programs, and I almost referred to a couple here, but the truth is most don’t have enough advanced features to make them worth using. I need more practice to get used to it, but I really like the idea of this for writing sprints and getting the first draft done. The point of Ilys (pronounced “eye-less”) is to simplify and make it difficult to backspace of correct – you must keep writing forward and you can only see a few words at a time. Great for making sure your writing is always saved and protected, and you can switch between devices easily also good for cowriting or working with an editor. I never got the hang of it so I don’t use it. If you want to use Word, make sure you download my 24 chapter plot outline templates or my DIY book formatting templates.įor people who need more organization and to have everything in the same place, with mood boards, notes, character profiles etc – there are some great features in Scrivener… but it’s a better experience on Mac and a steeper learning curve than MS Word. Microsoft Word is fine in most cases, and I like it for organizing my outline and pulling the whole thing together… though it does freeze up and crash a lot when you have a large file. UPDATE: There’s a new contender called Atticus which you should definitely check out! It’s like Vellum + Scrivener in one. make it easy to rearrange, organize notes, and keep everything together.keep track of long-term writing habits and data.
