Agent 488 · 10-10-2009, 04:02 PM

you have something you wrote or ...?

quiet · 10-10-2009, 04:07 PM

currently writing, but i'd like a complete solution to transfer it all to.

After Shock Media · 10-10-2009, 04:16 PM

You do have me slightly confused with the covers aspects.
Also as the writer wouldnt you decide where the chapters are?

Lastly - write the content? Do you mean you want to talk it into your computer or...

quiet · 10-10-2009, 04:23 PM

simple cover, yes i decide the chapters lol. yes, write the content myself.

it's a simple question, i want an all in one piece of software that you can build an entire book withouth having to fuck around with other pieces of software

does it exist for the mac? i can't find one.

Next time I'm in Starbucks I'll ask one of the unemployed hipsters what they are using.

Not sure about the cover but as for organizing the writing Scrivener is prob the best - http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.html

DateDoc · 10-10-2009, 04:41 PM

does anyone know any similar tools for Win XP?

Libertine · 10-10-2009, 06:38 PM

Personally, I use Ulysses. The perfect writing tool, in my opinion.

CYF · 10-10-2009, 06:41 PM

You want Avenir.

http://returnself.com/

quiet · 10-10-2009, 11:08 PM
