My Tools and Resources
Perfect your first draft
Scrivener
Perhaps the most comprehensive writing tool on the market, Scrivener allows you to do everything. Write your book, manage your scenes, compile your front and back matter, and even export your document as a beautiful epub.
A one-off purchase, no subscription, and can be used on a multitude of devices - and what's better is that it syncs with Dropbox and various other cloud services.
Perfect your plots and scenes
Plottr Pro
The all-in-one digital plotting software. Want to use visual scene cards you can drag and drop to wherever you need them? Need a place to craft your characters and locations in one place? If you're a plotter who needs to know every intricate detail and scene premise, then this is the software for you. Can be used on desktop, mobile and tablet. I've been using this for a over a year and love it.
Perfect your formatting
Vellum
Written the book and now ready to publish, but don't know how to format beautiful ebooks? Then look no further. Vellum is a Mac-only software that enables you to create ebooks and paperback books seamlessly. While it may seem a little pricey, it's super easy and a product you won't regret buying - I certainly haven't.
Perfect your categories and keywords
