The Huge, Ginormous, almost (Giant)-like, Ever-Growing List of Writing Software

Writing software helps you write your story for either a monthly subscription fee, a one-time charge, or for free. Trialware can be a bit of a bait-and-switch. Depends on if the company requires a credit card before download or rather offers a stripped down version for free or not. Some writing software may be incredibly complex, needing a manual the size of the old style yellow pages, and others are plain and simple, just a blank page with the ability to save that blank page. Some offer distraction-free interfaces and others use gamification-style challenges to keep you in the zone. Some focus on professional document creation for work and may include advanced features like the speech-to-text transcription and online collaboration tools. And others are strictly used for writing that novel. So many choices, so little time… 🙂

What is yWriter?

yWriter is a word processor which breaks your novel into chapters and scenes, helping you keep track of your work while leaving your mind free to create.

We, (royal, lol) at Cybernet Books, have used this software since 2008-09. To find out the Why, go to the yWriter article and learn more about the program.
