By breaking down the process and providing templates and friendly assistance at every step, Story Wizard is perfect for the inventive mind of all children. By providing the structure, the child's energy can be focussed on the story telling.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Nice idea...pity it was so badly made., 6 Jan 2006
    I found this program very disappointing. It was such a good idea to make writing software for children, and I had high hopes at first, but it has so many bugs and is written so poorly that I have no patience for it any more. Even though it is supposed to be for 9-16 year olds, I'd say it should be 7-11. I felt that I was far too old for it.
    The save function is not reliable. The software has an annoying tendency to insist that you have not saved your work even when you have, and even then it will delete your hard work. More often than not.
    The word processor is poor. The spellcheck is ok but I had the impression that the software did not understand punctuation at all.
    The plotlines the software supplies for you are very fixed, allowing you little space to insert your own plot ideas. Although the writing advice given is helpful for new writers, there is little of it and it was nothing I hadn't heard before.
    This is a precious idea in the hands of the wrong people. Do not waste money on this software. Just use Word to write your stories and the Internet to get advice.
