Download Free yWriter Download – 7.1.4.2

yWriter is a word processor that breaks up your novel into chapters and scenes, helping you keep track of your work while leaving your mind free to create. It won’t write your novel for you, suggest plot ideas, or perform creative tasks of any kind. yWriter was designed by a writer, not a salesperson!

yWriter5 is free to download and use, but you are encouraged to register your copy if you find it useful.

If you’re just starting your first novel, a program like yWriter may seem like overkill. All you have to do is type everything into a word processor! Sure, but wait until you hit 20,000 words, with missing scenes and chapters, notes all over your desk, characters and locations and plot points you’ve just added that need to be referenced earlier…it’s going to be a real struggle. Now imagine that same novel of 40,000 or 80,000 words! No wonder most first-time writers give up.

(Although yWriter was designed for novels, enterprising users have created their own translation files to adapt the program to work with plays, nonfiction, and even sermons.)
