How does MyNovel compare with alternative novel writing programs?
I guess this is a loaded question for us to answer ourselves! However, MyNovel has the following distinct advantages:
- MyNovel is the easiest to use software for writing a novel on the market today. Everything is logically laid out, and easy to find.
- MyNovel is less expensive to buy than virtually every other novel writing package, plus MyNovel is equally or more feature-packed than most other novel writing software.
- MyNovel has a modern interface. Most of the others are extremely retro-looking - especially those
that don't offer a trial version. Beware!
- MyNovel includes templates for novice writers in order to write stories based on The Hero's Journey, Love stories, Quest stories, Adventure stories, Pursuit Stories, Rescue Stories, stories of Revenge
and Betrayal etc. However, you do not have to use a template. If you're a more accomplished writer, you can start from scratch and use MyNovel
as a book writing management tool and aide memoire.
- You can write your own templates and - for instance in a teaching environment - distribute templates to your pupils.
- We are always on hand with answers to any technical support queries you may have.
- We have a thriving writing community! MyNovel has a built-in virtual writers circle where
you can communicate with fellow writers for feedback about your work.
