Watch: From first draft to finished novel.
Overwhelmed by book editing? Fictionary can help!
At the end of their first draft, many writers have more questions than answers:
- Is my story any good?
- Does my plot make sense?
- Where do I start?
- How do I know I'm finished editing?
Hi, I'm Kristina. Founder of Fictionary.
I'm a writer just like you. I created Fictionary to solve my biggest writing challenge: how to edit my first draft and make sure I had a story readers would love.
Using my computer mathematics degree along with my experience as a bestselling author and years working as a professional editor, I developed the story editing software I wish I'd had.
Fictionary helps you write a great story, finish your novel, and get it into the hands of readers. I'll be with you all the way.
How does it work?
Easily upload your manuscript and let Fictionary go to work analyzing your story. A variety of visualizations will help you understand what's working and what needs more attention.
Then it's up to you. Get to work improving every scene using the 38 Fictionary Story Elements as your guide.
When your edit is complete, you'll have a powerful story ready to export and share with the world.
Fictionary automatically identifies your character names, links characters to scenes, and shows you where and when each character appears in your story. You’ll know immediately if your protagonist is getting enough page time.
Fictionary automatically creates your story arc by analyzing yout text for key plot points. This allows you to compare your structure and pacing to that of successful commercial fiction.
The story arc has been around for over 2,000 years. It’s a proven form that keeps readers engaged, but it’s not about being formulaic: the story and the imagination behind it are unique to you. A powerful story contains key plot events. To create a story readers love, these events must happen at the right time.
Quickly visualize the pacing of your story based on scene length. Instead of going through the tedious exercise of listing your word count per scene in a spreadsheet, you can see the information within seconds.
Let Fictionary help you nail your Blurb and Synopsis in a few easy and intuitive steps.
Your Story Map captures every Story Element in one place. Use it to see common problem areas such as story flow, empty stages, POV goals, lack of tension and conflict, or confusing timelines.
