The best writing app for authors and novelists. From amateurs to published authors.
About LivingWriter
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.

Characters are developed through an interview on psychology, behaviour and history; every location has its own page with descriptions and images. An existing draft can be imported from DOCX or ODT. bibisco does not generate text; the writing stays with the writer.
The desktop app runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, in 16 languages. The Community Edition is free and unlocks every Supporters Edition feature for the first 30 days. The Supporters Edition, a one-time purchase, adds objects, groups, notes, the outline, the timeline, mind maps, novel analysis, writing goals, revision comparison and exports for a manuscript, a KDP-ready print book PDF and an EPUB. Mobile apps for Android, iPhone and iPad, and sync, come with the separate bibisco Everywhere subscription.
