SmartEdit Writer & PageFour
A novel is made up of many chapters and pages, introduces major and minor characters, contains plots
and sub-plots, incorporates folders of research material, and often involves first, second and third
drafts. Writing a novel is a major undertaking. Doing it well requires dedicated software.
You’re not writing a business document. So why use Word? You don’t need a bibliography or footnotes.
So why use Word? Creative writers use only a fraction of the functionality of a business tool like
Word — a tool that was not designed for them.
SmartEdit Writer and
PageFour
are two software applications that we built for writers like you. Over a twelve year period we’ve put
together the perfect writing tool for novelists and short story writers.
