In this video, I go through every major writing software on the market and share which ones I recommend for different types of writers. Every writer's brain works differently, and what you need in a writing software will be different from what I do. I'm hoping this will give you a place to start in your search to find a program that works best for you. -- Use this link to try PROWRITINGAID and get 20% off any yearly plan: https://tidd.ly/3Mc779B -- THE PROGRAMS MENTIONED ON THIS LIST: Dabble (code CLAIRE will give you 15% off a yearly subscription): https://www.dabblewriter.com Scrivener: https://www.literatureandlatte.com Ulysses (code CLAIRE will give you 25% off a yearly subscription): https://ulysses.app Novelist: https://www.novelist.app Novlr: https://www.novlr.org Ellipsus: https://ellipsus.com Bibisco: https://bibisco.com Reedsy: https://reedsy.com/studio/write-a-book -- Subscribe to my channel for weekly videos sharing actionable writing tips that helped me improve as a writer. 🎬 VIDEOS YOU WILL LIKE: How to Make a Plot Grid on Google Sheets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wglTC5bfEoM Is ProWritingAid worth it? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wehc6MaJxm0 SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/c/WritewithClaireFraise 👻 READ THEY STAY (book 1 in my paranormal thriller series and won the Grand Prize at the 2023 Writer’s Digest Self Published Book Awards): Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/They-Stay-Suspenseful-Young-Mystery/dp/1737225301/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=claire+fraise%27&qid=1628649544&sr=8-1 Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/they-stay-claire-fraise/1139953490?ean=9781737225300 Add on GOODREADS: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57821402-they-stay JOIN MY MAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3zFpz0l 😀 CONNECT WITH ME: MAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3zFpz0l EMAIL ME: claire@clairefraise.com WEBSITE: https://www.clairefraise.com/ TIKTOK (where I’m most active other than YouTube): https://www.tiktok.com/@clairefraiseauthor?_t=ZP-90cwafzkR5z&_r=1 INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/clairefraiseauthor/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/clairefraiseauthor PINTEREST: https://www.pinterest.com/clairefraisebooks/ GOODREADS: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/14193771.Claire_Fraise ABOUT: Hi, I'm Claire! I’m an award-winning self-published author of paranormal thriller books (my book "They Stay" won the Grand Prize at the 2023 Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards and is the first in a five-book series). There is no one way to write a book. I’m a strong believer that the only way to develop your own writing process is by trying a bunch of different methods to find out what is the most helpful to you. In my videos, I share how I approach every stage in my writing process, from brainstorming to editing, in the hope that it could give you something to try that could help you level up as a writer. I share techniques that have improved my own writing so you can see if the same strategies help you.
