Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Writer's Café is a set of power tools for all fiction writers, whether experienced or just starting out. The heart of Writer's Café is StoryLines, a powerful but simple to use story development tool that dramatically accelerates the creation and structuring of your novel or screenplay. An easy-to-use index card system helps you quickly record and arrange your ideas along multiple storylines, as well as manage your character and location profiles. As the story develops, you can see the linear version take shape, and you can export your story in a number of different formats, or print it, using highly customisable templates.

Writer's Café also includes a notebook, journal, research organiser, pinboard, inspirational quotations, daily writing tips, writing exercises, name generator, and a 60-page e-book, Fiction: The Facts, distilling 20 years of writing experience. Writer's Café runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, with special support for netbooks, and can run from a USB memory stick.

Writer's Café doesn't force you to pigeon-hole your story before you begin - it gives you the freedom to explore your ideas without nagging. Simply put, Writer's Café is a place to be creative!

    Downloaded the digital trial version which is virtually identical to this retail. Very padded out with unnecessary stuff. The actual meat of the program, the storyline creator/ editor could be ok but very frustrating to use. There is not even a reference in how to start a new chapter in the help and instruction section. There is a feeling that as this is writers cafe 2, that you should know this. There is a lot of trial and error to get anywhere. An example story loaded in would help. The actual writing area for your creative efforts is cramped and awkward to use, needing a lot of customization. It seems to be an afterthought to all the bolt on junk.

    I purchased this product with trepidation after reading a large number of reviews slating the interface and learning curve. All those reviews are justified as this is a damn frustrating product to use. There's very little in the way of a user guide and the best way to learn how to use it appears to be to simply have a go.

    I've now worked it out and discovered that it actually does everything I need it to without hesitation. And while the interface can still be a little cluttered at times, everything I need is always to hand.

    If you're the kind of person who shouts at inanimate objects or throw stuff in anger then I'd say steer clear but If you've got the time to sit down and work this thing out then I'd say it's worth your hard earned british pound.
