> Story-structure software for outlining, writing and editing novels

Fictionary is web-based software for outlining, writing and editing fiction with a focus on story structure. A manuscript is worked through scene by scene against story elements for character, plot and setting, with visualizations such as an automated story arc and AI feedback on each scene. StoryTeller is the version for writers and StoryCoach is a separate plan for professional editors; the company also sells a membership that adds live classes and a community.

- **Story arc and 15 visualizations:** Fifteen visualizations, including an automated Story Arc and a Story Goal Tracker, show where the structure has problems, and a Story Map gives an overview of the whole book.
- **AI feedback on every scene:** A built-in AI writing instructor the company calls Edwina gives immediate, scene-specific feedback as you write or revise.
- **Genre-based outlining templates:** Templates for different genres lay out a story arc to outline against, and the outline stays alongside the manuscript while you write.
- **Story Editing Journey:** A step-by-step editing process tracks progress by scene and by story element, with explanations of terms such as entry hooks on hand as you edit.
- **StoryCoach for editors:** The editor plan adds a client dashboard, editing notes shown beside each scene, track changes and a library of hundreds of prewritten suggestions.
