Hi, I'm Kristina. Founder of Fictionary, and I'm here to help.

I'm a writer just like you. I created Fictionary to solve my own biggest writing challenge: how to outline and edit my manuscript to make sure my story was as powerful as possible.

Using my computer mathematics degree along with my experience as a bestselling author and ten years working as a professional editor, I created the software I wished I had.

Fictionary will help you get your story finished and into the hands of readers. I'll be with you all the way.
