Septangular
A writing studio for novelists.
Write your book scene by scene, keep its world in a Story Bible, plan it in an outline, and watch it grow. When it’s done, build a manuscript to send out, or an ebook and a paperback to publish. Every save is kept, so nothing is ever lost.
Coming soon to Mac, Windows and Linux
Seven sections, one book
- Manuscript Your book as parts, chapters and scenes, in plain text you own. Write, rearrange, split and rewrite, with nothing ever thrown away.
- Outline Plan the story as nested beats linked to the scenes that tell them, and see every plot thread across your chapters.
- Story Bible Characters, places and things, each with its own entry, read and edited beside the book, and shared by every book in a series.
- Notes Scraps, web links, pictures, PDFs and documents, kept beside the book and easy to find.
- Statistics Daily goals, a due date that sets your pace, streaks, a projected finish, and how each chapter has grown.
- Versions Every save kept as a version of the whole book, with snapshots, Compare and Restore, a search through everything you ever cut, and a record of how the book was written.
- Publishing Manuscripts in standard format for agents and editors, and, with Septangular Publish, ebooks, paperbacks and hardcovers ready for the stores.
Why Septangular
- Your words, in plain filesEvery scene is a plain text file, and the book’s shape is a readable XML file beside them. Open them in any program, keep them in any backup, and take them anywhere. Nothing is locked away.
- Nothing is ever lostEvery save is a version of the whole book. Compare any scene with how it was, find a sentence you cut months ago, try a rewrite beside the original, or take the book back to a snapshot.
- Built for long booksParts, chapters and scenes you can drag into a new order; a Stash for what doesn’t fit yet; and series of books that share one Story Bible.
- Keeps you writingDaily goals, a due date that sets your pace, streaks, a projected finish, and a highlight on everything you’ve written today.
- From first draft to finished bookStandard manuscript format, as PDF or Word, for agents and editors. And with Septangular Publish: ebooks, paperbacks and hardcovers ready for the stores.
- Written by youNo AI writes, suggests or rewrites a word. Septangular is a place to write, not a machine that writes for you.
