Write Your Novel Or Screenplay Step By Step
How do you grow your ideas into a fully developed story with memorable characters, a riveting plot, and a compelling theme or message?
StoryWeaver will show you the way…
Welcome to StoryWeaver on the Cloud - The all new version of your step by step path to a completed novel, screenplay, or other narrative manuscript.
StoryWeaver isn't a web site, an organizational tool, or a series of fill-in-the-blank questions, but a sophisticated story development program. It runs on our servers and is accessed through your web browser, so you can use it on any Internet connected device. As you work with your story, you can move seamlessly from laptop, to tablet, to smart phone, and from Windows to Mac, iOS, Android, or Chrome. So now your Muse follows you!
For more than ten years, the original desktop version of StoryWeaver has been used by thousands of writers around the globe to build their story's world, who's in it, what happens to them, and what it all means.
Developed by the co-creator of Dramatica, StoryWeaver guides you through a creative pathway of more than 200 interactive Story CardsTM (individual story development steps) that lead you from concept to completion.
StoryWeaver is so named because it employs a technique for drawing story threads from your original concept, much as a weaver might draw thread from wool. Step by step, you grow and clarify your story as you twist the threads into a yarn, spin that yarn, and eventually weave it into the tapestry of your story.
Whether you already have a story you wish to improve or are just starting out with no more than a concept, StoryWeaver will help you grow your story, adding power to your plot, passion to your characters, humanity to your theme and richness to your genre.
Every step of the way you'll know exactly what your story needs and what to do next as you develop a riveting plot, memorable characters, a compelling theme, and an involving genre.
Each Story Card covers a single topic and automatically quotes your responses to selected previous Story Cards to help you address your current development project.
In this edition of StoryWeaver, the development path has been enhanced with all-new sections on finding inspiration, deepening your ideas, projecting your story forward, and unfolding it for your readers or audience in the most powerful manner.

We've completely redesigned StoryWeaver's navigation system to now include Next Step and Previous Step buttons for simplicity, but also to allow for direct navigation to any Story Card in the path with collapsible section headings, and a "You Are Here" indicator in the path list.
Place-Holder: Pick Up Right Where You Left Off
StoryWeaver's new Place-Holder feature remembers where you were when you sign off or change devices, and will automatically return you to the last Story Card you were on.

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.
