Software for writers
Arquably, time spent writing, especially creative writing, can be broadly split into
three activities. In simple terms, these are:
- Planning - Dreaming up plots and characters. Interactions and events.
- Constructing - This is the actual writing bit. The free flow of words, putting
one sentence after the next.
- Editing - Reviewing and changing, moving stuff around, adding and removing. This is
editing by the author, not to be confused with a separate "editor".
Every author obviously works in a different way, spending more time on one activity
than another. But in general, all authors spend at least some time on all of them.
Our software is designed to help writers in all three areas. By help, I mean to
make things easier and quicker whilst distracting as little as possible. Software cannot
actually write the words, but it can organise, automate where possible and secure your work.
All with the intention of enabling authors to spend their time constructing.
A writing app is a very personal thing. All products are available on a trial basis to see
if they are right for your style of working.
