About

BlurbBio is a browser-based writing and manuscript-analysis platform for fiction authors. It combines a chapter-based editor with plot outlining and a Story Bible that organizes characters, locations, relationships, timelines, and canon details. The Story Bible can be built from manuscript text, while continuity checks compare new chapters with established story facts and identify potential contradictions. Analysis tools examine plot structure, pacing, dialogue, and character consistency; the AI Copilot provides brainstorming support. Authors can import manuscripts and export work as DOCX, PDF, or EPUB, with some options limited by plan. BlurbBio also provides free author utilities, including a character and place name generator. A free account and paid Writer and Author plans offer different project, analysis, and AI-credit allowances.

About

SmartEdit Writer, free software for novel and short story writers. A free software to plan your novel, prepare and maintain research material, write your novel scene by scene, and edit chapter by chapter in a modern Windows application that has a similar look and feel to Microsoft Word. Store images & links to websites, all in a handy research section that sits right next to you as you write. Create character profiles, outlines & notes as you work. No more 100,000 word Microsoft documents. Write your novel one scene or chapter at a time. Drag and drop scenes inside your document until it’s just the way you want it. Identify word and phrase over-use, monitor adverbs, crutch words & clichés, and improve sentence structure & punctuation, all using SmartEdit’s editor toolbar. SmartEdit Writer allows you to group your work-in-progress and any research you’ve built up about it into a single project. Add folders, scenes, and notes to your document tree.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It doesn't need the internet, and it's free. The editing tools are the main attraction, IMO. If you are trying to avoid AI tools, it has a bunch of great monitoring tools that are not AI, similar to ProWritingAid or Hemingway. Shows a list of your word and phrase repetitions, all adverbs you used, redundancies, misused words, homonyms, "new" and "knew", "less than" and "fewer than" shows a list of your cliches, dialogue tags, proper nouns, acronyms, risque words and phrases, all words and phrases used to begin sentences. Shows extra-long sentences. Shows all the punctuations you used, etc, etc
  • At first I was quite pleased with it design, workflow, easy to get to know it. I got into developing and creating a story pretty easily.

Cons

  • I wish it exported to HTML. It's rarely updated (but it's still easy to find).
  • 8 days later, suddenly all text from every single scene, and I mean all = 100%, had vanished. Characters were still there, but what to do, when all the flesh has left? No copy or saved files could be opened or reopened and if only the emptied project was there. Hours went on and that was it. I could not retrieve a single word. I should have copied every line to whatever text program and save it elsewhere.
