About

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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Formats just like standard Hollywood script and has a few nice reformatting features and scene/character reports.

Cons

  • You can't hot key element type but have to mouse navigate; any imported scripts (even if output by final draft) have to have each element hand adjusted among other manual changes. There is zero support for languages with 'orbital' vowels and consonants - Particularly Thai and Khmer. I have opened numerous support requests and am always told it will be supported in a future version but has not been considered as of interest by their development team for over 5 years now. Both languages support unicode - word and open office and celtx all support but not final draft - and you can't paste in either - you just get non printing characters even if the system supports this languages for every other app (Windows 10 latest updates). So every script I work on in SE Asia has to be translated into english to format in final draft exported and translated back and then manually formatted to match the Hollywood 'paramount' format final draft provides. The developers are paid to work, right? All real software supports internationalization right? 😡😡
