Miner Mar 8 Version 4 is out! For both macOS and iOS. Hutchisonb Sep 25 This is my favorite of the story writing apps so far, although I haven't much experience with it just yet. I'm still using the trial, but like it so far. Drfrank Nov 2 My dilema, upgrade to Scrivener 2 or buy Storyist? I've owned Scrivener for three and a half years, but after briefly testing Scrivener 2, I decided to purchase Storyist.

Storyist: I liked the icon, the program name, the website, the manual, the videos, hey, I even liked the developer's voice, but the preceding list certainly wasn't why I purchased Storyist. Sure, it's a cocoa app, and 64 bit, but frankly, both programs are carefully crafted and share remarkably similar features.

I purchased Storyist because of the almost inexplicable joy that you experience when you sit down and use very thoughtfully engineered software. Bluntly, using Storyist pushed my 'happy' button.

If you have a story to tell Miner Sep 18 I tried several of these novel writing apps during my annual stab at writing a novel in the Inter NationalNovelWritingMonth: started with Ulysses which I find too focused on text-only, and not intuitive to my brain , moved on to Scrivener absolutely great , StoryMill like the concept, but cannot get the hang of it , and since last year Storyist.

Fort apps like these, personal taste is more important than any other, imo, and amazingly If found that the touch of extra structure and discipline Storyist imposes on my writing works like a charm. It is full featured, and for now my winner, by a nose length, over Scrivener, which is quite a feat in itself. Of course, the next Scrivener which is just around the corner might change all that again. What a blessed platform the Mac is! An-onymous Mar 23 In this example, there is only one text file, but you can combine several files into one eBook if you want.

If you've got a cover image in the project, select it too. If not, don't worry, Storyist will create a generic cover for you. After you've selected the items you want to include in the eBook, click Next. You'll see a list containing the items you just selected. Arrange them in the order they should appear in the publication, then click Next again. Enter the title, author, and a short description of the work.

Then add any metadata or card catalog information you want to include in the file. To add metadata, click the Add button and choose the metadata tag name from the popup. There are tags for subject, publisher, author, contributor, ISBN, type, format, source, language, and rights.

When you've got the publication information setup as you want it, you can optionally save it as a preset to use the next time you export your eBook. To do this, click the Presets button and choose Save as Preset. Enter a name for the preset, and click Save. Now we're ready to save the file. Click Next one more time. The Save dialog appears. Enter a name for your ePub file and click Export.

The next time you sync with your iPad, iTunes will transfer the eBook to the device, where you can read it using the iBooks application. Now let me show you how I created the 'Wizard of Oz' project and talk about some of the things you might want to consider when preparing a manuscript for export to ePub. I'll start by creating a new project using the Blank project template and then I'll drag a plain text file containing the manuscript to the Project view.

The file doesn't need to be a plain text file. I chose plain text for this screencast so we could build the project from the ground up. Notice that the text is imported, but, as you would expect from a plain text file, there is no formatting or outline information.
