yWriter is a free software for authors and writers to help alleviate the stress of organization and chapter flow. It was created by Simon Haynes because he saw a need that authors didn't have access to organizational or software tools to improve book breakdown and chapter assignments. The purpose is to alleviate the frustration of organizing a novel and keeping track of everything. This product will not generate creative factors or plot lines. However, it allows the writer to utilize their creative flow without worrying about the organization aspect. The program specializes in scenes, which are considered more important than chapters because the plot has to have a consistent flow. This is considered one of the hardest parts of writers. Imagine keeping track of the scenes you are thinking of in a 100,000-word story. It's nearly impossible! With yWriter, you can better create original content and generate a book with the professional flow, organization, and style, all made possible by yWriter. If you are looking to share your story, create the next trilogy of new york times bestsellers, or just want to get started on your dream of materializing the fantasy adventure you've created, then yWriter is for you.

A free novel writing software designed by author and programmer Simon Haynes, who authored the Hal Spacejock and Hal Junior series of novels, yWriter for Windows helps the user to organize their novel into scenes, chapters, and sections. The software has a heavy focus on scenes since ultimately a novel is a series of scenes and scenes are smaller and more managable to write. It has good character and story development tools for novelists, but it has no templates or tools for screenwriters. While the software is free to download, Haynes does suggest a one time donation to help support himself and the continued development of the software.

I've been using yWriter for a few weeks now and overall I'm very satisfied. It's easy to navigate and I love the "Scenes" feature that helps you keep track of the different parts of your manuscript. The outlining feature is also very helpful and makes it easy to structure your story. I also like how you can add notes to each scene or chapter. The character profiles are also great for keeping track of all the characters in your story. The only downside I've noticed is that yWriter isn't compatible with Mac computers. Other than that, I'm very pleased with this program.
