"The magic is that it doesn't feel as if you are writing a book"
Manufacturer's Description
Story Wizard software helps young people (aged 9 to 19) write creative stories or novels.
At last, a piece of software that will engage the minds of young people, which isn't a game in which they destroy the world or race to the death (although the stories that they write will probably include all of that!). Software that helps them build worlds far beyond our own imagination, that can be brought to life with the power of words.
Story Wizard is a must buy for all those young authors who want to create the next Harry Potter and make millions! Or for those who just want to have fun writing and printing out their own stories, and designing their own book cover.
All kids like writing stories - sometimes they just need a little help and inspiration. Story Wizard encourages them with tools that develop and release their creativity, harnessing their imagination to the full.
Story Wizard breaks the story telling process down into short, manageable, enjoyable chunks. This means that children don't need to think about structure, and can focus their energies on writing imaginatively.
This software includes many fantastic features such as:
Name Generator - with over 1 billion combinations - which frees the kids up from their small universe of friends and family names
Readback - where the computer reads aloud the text that has been written - hours of fun!
First Line ideas from famous books - which overcomes the blank sheet of paper terror
Place Name generator with every major town and city in the world to expand their horizons
Cover design which helps them to create a very professional looking cover to print out and bind their story
Dictionary and thesaurus to help them find new words and different meanings
Auto spell check with US and UK options
Structured story writing templates with extensive help at every stage
Dedicated diary (with secure password access to keep nosey parkers out)
Character and Place development tools are especially fun, as they prompt and cajole kids to describe in many different ways - which builds up their powers of expression.Story Wizard is based on the hugely successful adult novel writing software program newnovelist about which the Sunday Times said The magic of newnovelist is that it doesn't feel as if you are writing a book.
Well, the magic has now been provided for children!
