bibisco
bibisco is novel writing software to plan, structure and write a novel in one project. Chapters and scenes, reordered by dragging and kept with their revisions, sit next to the premise, fabula, setting and storylines. Characters are developed through an interview on psychology, behaviour and history; every location has its own page with descriptions and images. An existing draft can be imported from DOCX or ODT. bibisco does not generate text; the writing stays with the writer.
The desktop app runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, in 16 languages. The Community Edition is free and unlocks every Supporters Edition feature for the first 30 days. The Supporters Edition, a one-time purchase, adds objects, groups, notes, the outline, the timeline, mind maps, novel analysis, writing goals, revision comparison and exports for a manuscript, a KDP-ready print book PDF and an EPUB. Mobile apps for Android, iPhone and iPad, and sync, come with the separate bibisco Everywhere subscription.
