Story Planner for Writers does exactly what its name suggests, in that it provides writers, including novelists and screenplay writers, with a variety of options for planning and organizing their story projects. For example, it allows writers to plan characters and draft out specific scenes, while the application also enables writers to create as many different projects as they want and offers support for exporting projects to other applications.

Breaking Projects Down

Essentially, Story Planner for Writers works by allowing writers to break down their projects into individual components. Writers can create various settings, characters and scenes, can easily refer back to these, and can organize the story's structure easily using a drag-and-drop user interface. Projects can be exported as .txt, .pdf or .rtf formats, and are also compatible with both Final Draft and Scrivener.

Advanced Features

One of the most impressive features contained within Story Planner for Writers is the ability to view statistics about projects, which means writers can quickly see how balanced their story is, which characters feature the most and whether they have used certain settings more than others. Moreover, the application includes a timeline feature, which automatically adds a date to each scene. As a result, it is a comprehensive planning package, which will have particular appeal to those who struggle to structure stories, or those with complex project ideas.
