Storyist for iPad
I’ve been meaning to write something about this for a while now. It looks like a good app for managing your writing with,
Storyist is a powerful writing environment for iPad that lets you create, review, and revise your work wherever inspiration strikes.
With Storyist, you can:
- Produce submission-ready manuscripts and screenplays. Storyist provides a rich text editor with support for comments, images, headers, footers, and style sheets so you can create properly formatted manuscripts and screenplays. And Storyist comes with manuscript and screenplay templates so you can focus on the writing, not the formatting.
- Work with your story at a high-level. Storyist lets you sketch out a story using index cards and then refine it with customizable plot, character, and setting sheets. When you’re ready to put words on the page, Storyist can even display your index cards next to your manuscript as you write.
- Review and revise on the go. Have a few minutes? Open Storyist and jot down a note, revise a few paragraphs, or annotate your manuscript with ideas for future changes.
- Keep all your writing organized and accessible. Storyist organizes your novel manuscripts, screenplays, notes, and other project-related writing so you can access them with just a few taps. And the one-tap Dropbox sync lets you quickly access your projects where and when you need them.

- Automatic manuscript and screenplay formatting with familiar tab and return key shortcuts.

Script Launcher helps writers through the basics
I read about this app over at HHH (Hand Held Hollywood).
Apparently this app will:
- Reveal the craft of story telling in an informal and easy to read style
- Show you how to clarify and define your idea
- Teach you how to extract the subject line – the action and character of your idea
- Structure your story line into a dramatic beginning, middle and end
- Guide you through your story line from inception through completion
- Mentor you in creating fully realized characters
- Support and direct you in writing a professional treatment
But you can read the rest at HHH.
Thoughts on UI design from Auteureist
I have to say that the UI for Auteureist is one of the things that does put me off using it although I think that the functionality is moving in the right direction, so it is good to hear that the developer is thinking about it and accepts that it needs to change.
Typeless writer
An interesting experiment in using the iPad as a laptop replacement specifically for writing. I thought it might interest a few people into writing using the iPad.

Update on the writing app Auteureist from the developer. PDF export hopefully coming next and he’s looking for beta testers.
