First Draft Pro

Hello! Since you're reading this, you're probably obsessed with writing stories. Me too! I'm especially interested in how they take shape, and who helps to craft them. Collaboration is a core part of storytelling. Most books are the loving work of multiple people: editors, co-writers, ghostwriters, and early readers. But, story-crafters don't have great tools to help them work together. We're changing that by building better tools for the wonderful humans who craft stories. ❤️

I've been test-driving this recently (working on a novel) and it is the book-writing app of my dreams. Imagine if Google Docs and Scrivener had a baby, and that baby cheered you on whenever you hit your writing goals. It's the best! Things I love about it: - It's all cloud-based so you'll never lose your work. - It's collaborative, ideal for working with editors or co-writers. - There's an outlining tool so you can plan your plot in advance, or just write it as you go, and it's easy to shuffle scenes or chapters around later. - You can store notes and link them to specific lines in the manuscript, or to whole chapters. - It looks delicious. I'm excited to open it up every day. - It has a daily goal tracker for how many words you've written today (very motivating/terrifying). Fellow writer-nerds, I highly recommend it.
