About LivingWriter
Start your book, plot your book, write your book, organize your book, and export it for publishing all in one place.
Simple drag and drop organization for all your chapters, subchapter, and elements.
LivingWriter stores your story elements and suggests them as you type.
Organize your story with time-tested outlines used by best-selling authors. Spend less time organizing and planning. Spend more time growing your ideas into books. Order and reorder your chapters and story elements without the hassle of copying and pasting.
Jot down your chapter notes quickly on the sidebar. Everything on one screen means never leaving your story. We don't believe in reinventing the wheel, but we're fans of greasing it a bit.
You can now use the same outlines used in world-famous stories and movies right in LivingWriter. We'll lead you through each step with detailed guidance. No other writing app out there will do that for you.
