Wallingford Writers Community Forum Writers Software

Does anyone use a software program for writers? If so, do you recommend the one you are using? Please share your experiences. Thank you. Chris Wall

Hi Chris, You might try one of the series "Power Structure, Power Writer, Power Tracker"  and/or "WritePro". You should be able to get a free demo CD by contacting [email protected] or 858-270-7515 or www.writepro.com (1-858-270-7204). Best, KarenL

Karen, Do you think that programs with voice would help me? I know when I use the Microsoft Word program I have missed some important things. I thinking of getting a writing program with voice so I can write better. I have done well with Microsoft Word, but I did not if a wirting program with voice would help me even though I do well with programs like Word. Thanks, Jessica

I use Write It Now, which was $59.95 a few months ago.  It's great for Chapters, scenes, character description and analysis.  It's easy to move sections around.  There's even a character name generator.  You can download the MS into Word and it creates a fully formatted MS ... double-spaced and indented with headers and title page.   No voice recognition software though.   Kathy Albert

I am searching for writers software also - considering Writers Dream Kit, Storyist, Write It Now and also found Storyweaver - anyone used any of these ? Has to be mac compatible for me. Any input is appreciated.
