Overview

A Step by Step Approach

StoryWeaver is a step by step approach to story development that takes you from concept to completion of your novel or screenplay.

An Intuitive Path from the Co-creator of Dramatica

Seven years in the making, the StoryWeaver™ System is a revolutionary new intuitive approach to story development from Melanie Anne Phillips, author of The Story Mind and co-creator of Dramatica®

Over 200 Interactive Story Cards™

Follow the carefully crafted path of 200 interactive Story Cards™ and every step of the way you'll know exactly what to do, and what to do next.

Each card focuses on a different important story point, and contains a wealth of information as well as tips & tricks for using that dramatic element in your story.

You Build on Your Own Work

Along the way, StoryWeaver automatically references the work you've done on previous Story Cards, so you are always drawing on and refining what you've already created.

You have a simple story from the very first card, then continue to add depth and richness as you expand your story with every new card.

An Intuitive Approach to Structure

Too many software products for writers focus on what needs to be done in the story while ignoring an author's Muse. 

StoryWeaver takes a unique approach, leading an author along the creative path he or she naturally follows but with guidance and direction

Four Stages of Story Creation

In the Inspiration Stage, you'll come up with your core story ideas, characters, plot, and thematic issues. Writer's Block? Never again! Even if you can't think of a story idea to save your life, StoryWeaver will have you pouring out creative concepts with ease!

In the Development Stage, you'll flesh out your ideas, and expand them into real people, places, and events. No more stick figures or cliché action. StoryWeaver will ensure your story has depth and originality.

In the Exposition Stage, you'll work out how to unfold your story for your reader or audience. Step by step instructions will show you how to reveal your story to keep your reader or audience riveted!

In the Storytelling Stage, you'll create your scenes or chapters. In addition, StoryWeaver will help you energize your storytelling style to breath life into every story point.

Your demo helped me more in a couple of hours that months of trying to set up my story on my own.
-- Sean Heffernan

Thank you for Story Weaver. I just purchased it today and I already have a partially developed synopsis and an outline for a novel that started with just two words. This is a simple to use, logically worked out, fully rounded program -- a must for all story writers, and at such a reasonable price.
-- Chris Degenhardt Science-Art Author Artist

All writers who succeed do so because they learn early how to fully develop their work. StoryWeaver is one of the best programs I've seen for the task. This is awesome software that covers all the elements of your story. StoryWeaver is a writer's friend. You can't do better.
-- Carl Hose – The Writer’s Inkwell

I must say, having used other types of writing software, Story Weaver is simply fantastic. I am looking forward to the completion of my first novel using Story Weaver.
