of Power Writer
4 Stars
"Power Writer is my
favorite piece of writing software. It's a word processor for fiction writers.
Formatting is a breeze and the Outline View allows you to move chapters of text
with a couple clicks. It also makes it easy to find the section you want to
work on. (Especially helpful during revisions.)
My favorite feature is headers
for Plot Points. The titles (-Joe loses wallet, Sally attends funeral, whatever)
appear on the screen in grey type but do not print (unless you want them to)
or add to the word count. You can shuffle them (and the accompanying text) at
will. There's also a screen for notes (Story Tools).
The main categories are
General Story, Acts, Chapters, Plot Points, and Notes/Research. All your character
descriptions, backstory, Must Accomplish Items and so forth are at your fingertips
while working on your story or novel) If the Outline and Story Tools windows
distract you, just hide them and view only the word processor. Power Writer
doesn't tell you how or what to write. It formats, outlines, and keeps all your
notes in one convenient spot so that you never have to scrounge your desk for
the Post-It note with a character's middle name or an inspired line of dialogue
scrawled on it. It's a snap to use too. Highly recommended."
Power Structure
Reviews
"They call it Power
Structure and you should read the remainder of this sentence very, very carefully:
Every Screenwriter in the world needs Power Structure... [it] is the one tool
that proves that there is a God, and that She loves screenwriters."
--- New York Screenwriter Review
"The more I use Power
Structure, the more I like it. It's fallen into my 'natural' category - as in,
'How did I get along without this?'"
--- Roger S. H. Schulman Oscar®-nominated writer, Shrek
Power Tracker Reviews
"I'm very excited about
the program. I hope you plan to market it to writers agencies and I'll surely
recommend it to mine, Writers House in NY. I found the program easy to use,
with everything I would need to keep my publishing projects organized, together,
and in one place--something I have yet to do.
Thanks for producing such a needed product. I'd be happy to recommend it to
other writers."
---Sheila Ellison, best-selling
author
"The Courage to be a Single Mother", "The Courage to Love
Again"
"[Power Tracker] has proven to be a fantastic tool in keeping track of
the details of sending off one's work to various contacts. You have a solidly-written
program that delivers what it promises, and as for the user-friendliness of
Power Tracker, I'd say you have a complete winner. The core features are precisely
what every professional writer needs, plus the flexibility of being able to
add new categories, genres, etc. make it a personal, indispensable tool."
---Deborah Cravey, short-story
writer &
acquisitions director, Avid Film Camp
Frame Forge 3D Reviews
"FrameForge serves
and frees the creative mind to explore, experiment and excite. If a picture
speaks a thousand words, then FF3D speaks a bazillion in half the time."
--- Michael Steven Gregory, Writer/Director ("Silver Surfer,"
"We, The Screenwriter," "Armageddon Jones")
"I'm a big believer
in storyboarding, but as the Director of episodic TV shows I'm forced to work
with very little prep time. Our answer used to be quick pencil sketches until
FrameForge 3D Studio came along. Now, thanks to features like the multi-camera
virtual set, poseable actors, and the ability to set precise camera focal lengths
- I can show crew members a meaningful rendering of my vision, all within the
time I have allotted. It's a miracle!"
--- Jay Tobias, Director ("Homicide: Life on the Street", "Chicago
Hope", "Dawson's Creek")
Write Pro Reviews
"Of all the programs
we tested, WritePro is the best choice for the budding writer. For more advanced
students, FictionMaster is a logical choice."
--PC Magazine
