Novel planning and outlining software
Plan a novel from the first idea to the last scene. Outline every part, chapter and scene, rearrange them on a corkboard, and keep the story's timeline and maps beside the words.
AuthorOS Write
Character development software for authors
Give every character a full record: roles, templates, your own fields, and the scenes they appear in. Keep the details consistent from the first chapter to the last.
What it does
- A character library with roles and role templates to start from.
- Your own custom fields, which you can rename, hide or archive as the story changes.
- Manual references from characters to the manuscript scenes they appear in.
- A linked-record inspector, to see every connection a character has.
- Notes and tags on each character, searchable across the whole project.
