A look around PlotDirector
Come inside.
Bring your story.

Start writing free ↗“Right. What am I
working on today?”
Keep the next scene in reach. PlotDirector gives the work around your writing a home, so getting organised doesn't become a second novel.
- Scene notes and checklists
- Drafting and revision workflow

A whole book.
Manageable pieces.
From an idea for chapter one to a series with a life of its own. Organise projects, books, chapters and scenes without losing sight of what connects them.
- See your books and progress together
- Keep scene summaries and story purpose close
- Move between the big picture and the details
“Who the hell
is Malcolm?”
He might only appear twice. That doesn't mean you should have to invent him twice. Give every character a place, and keep their details close as your cast grows.
- Character profiles and aliases
- Relationships and scene appearances
- Notes for the details that matter
“Didn't this happen
on Thursday?”
Story order and story time aren't always the same thing. See where your scenes fall, follow chronology and check the gaps between events.
- Scene timeline
- Story dates and chronology
- Calendar view
Every promise
needs somewhere to go.
The mystery. The friendship. The secret that changes everything. Follow plot lines and their threads through your scenes, individually or woven together.
See where an arc develops, where it resolves, and where it might have been left behind.
- Focus on one plot line
- Compare the weave across scenes
- Track thread development and payoffs
Readers remember.
Let's help you do it too.
Characters shouldn't know a secret before they've heard it. An important object shouldn't quietly disappear. Keep track of story details and review continuity warnings as you revise.
- Review scene continuity warnings
- Track characters, locations and objects
- Use your judgement to resolve issues
“I'm sure I
mentioned this earlier.”
Give your story's knowledge a home. Record who knows what, connect details to scenes and search your story bible when you need to find your bearings.
- Character knowledge changes
- Connections to story assets and threads
- Searchable story bible
