Wavemaker Novel Planning and Writing Software

Novel Writing Software to Plan & Write your story, a web app for planning and writing your novel.

I recently stumbled across this superb little word processor, and I’m just blown away by how good it for being made by one dude for free. It’s like a slimmed down version of Scrivener or Papyrus, with a wonderfully simple and easy to use interface.

It’s open-source, and works on all platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, including phones and tablets). This lady here does an excellent overview of its features.

If you’re looking for a nice little app for writing, outlining, or planning something, I’d recommend giving it a look.

    I’ve never actually had problems with Manuskript, but then I don’t write anywhere near as much as I tell myself I should.

    I also once paid for Scrivener, back when I still used windows regularly.

    I seem to have a history of looking for an interesting piece of writing software, and then using it to write a chapter or two, then nothing more.

    Another fun writing program (that goes to the other UI extreme) is FocusWriter. I actually managed four or five chapters of a story using it.
