About

Hypercritica is a web-based writing and publishing workspace for authors and other writers. Its Fred editor reviews essays and book-length manuscripts, provides developmental feedback and suggested line edits, and lets writers accept, reject, or discuss changes. For manuscripts, the service also offers Iris, a beta-reader panel, plus tools for typesetting, cover creation, market-fit review, and preparing book listing copy and query letters. Writers can export work to DOCX or PDF and retain rights to their writing. The platform also supports editing articles, newsletters, and other short-form prose. The Essays plan includes three free pieces each month; manuscripts receive a free seven-day sample of seven chunks (about 10,000 words), and paid subscriptions provide expanded editing and publishing features.

About

Typewriter. Ring-binder. Scrapbook. Scrivener combines all the tools you need to craft your first draft, from nascent notion to final full stop. Scrivener is the go-to app for writers of all kinds, used every day by best-selling novelists, screenwriters, non-fiction writers, students, academics, lawyers, journalists, translators and more. Scrivener won't tell you how to write—it simply provides everything you need to start writing and keep writing. Tailor-made for long writing projects, Scrivener banishes page fright by allowing you to compose your text in any order, in sections as large or small as you like. Got a great idea but don't know where it fits? Write when inspiration strikes and find its place later. Grow your manuscript organically, idea by idea. Whether you plan or plunge, Scrivener works your way: hammer out every last detail before typing a word, or carve out a draft and restructure later. Or mix your methods and do a bit of both.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The low one-time fee is a great model in a world where everything is subscription. The many panels and options the software offers allows for sorting and organization of incredibly deep world and plot management easily.
  • You can organize your thoughts for story writing and the text processor is alright. There's also the infamous corkboard view that so many people love, though I'm personally meh about. Still, it gives you some variety in how you view things, and I'm never against that even if I personally don't like how it looks.
  • Great interface Writing, Editing and lots of other uses Comparison tool Distraction free writing Export to multiple formats Single license for multiple installs

Cons

  • Very tricky interface to get used to. It is still a text editor at heart with robust features but not much more.
  • This is probably one of the most overrated writing software out there. All "writer" focused software is overrated, and typically overpriced. What Scrivener can do, you can do absolutely for free much easier in Evernote or any other program like that. I've actually found Notepad++ to be much better at organizing writing and notes than all of the more polished, newer programs out there. It rarely gets support, especially for the PC users. Mac is clearly prioritized. I've also known people, thanks to how they verify your license is active (which apparently needs to be done every time you use it even though it's a one time purchase!) lose access because they changed servers, resulting in them having to rebuy the exact same product again. Updates are few and far between, and discounts are promised on products that don't exist yet.
  • No updates for Windows version. No feature for collaboration.
