It's all about writing
your novel!
We believe one of the most important features of novel
writing software is you're not faced with a long and
strenuous learning curve when you first start using it.
After all, it's about writing and not learning how to
use a software package.
We have put together a collection of screen shots to
give you a feel and idea of what the software offers. It
shows you how powerful and yet how easy NewNovelist is
to use.

"NewNovelist is clearly structured with
easy-to-follow instructions. You can work
through the program one stage at a time or use
the navigation tree to skip from one section to
another. But I'm not too sure what Charles
Dickens would think." |
