Writing Programs - top

 

 *    WriteWay (downloadable demo)

A fiction-writing program designed by software system designer John Haack (of JT Enterprises) for his wife, bestselling historical romance author Tina St. John.  Easy to use and very affordable.  Allows you to set up or own structure.  Three act, four act, 12 steps of the hero's journey.  Poses plotting questions.  Excellent program.  Highly recommended.

 *  
Power Structure  (downloadable demo)

Great program.  Asks thought provoking plotting questions.  Has a 12 steps of the Hero's Journey plotting format, 3 act structure, and more.  Intensive, but worth it if you have the attention span to stick with it.

 *   Dramatica  (downloadable demo)

Difficult program to learn, but apparently worth the money once you learn it.

 *   TextAloud  (downloadable demo)

TextAloud will read your book to you.  Great for hearing typos and awkward sentences you can't always see.

Confessions of a Contest Queen

An informative advice article by Judie Aitken.

Format Guidelines

Information on proper manuscript format. NOTE: Before entering any contest, be sure to read the entry rules to ensure there are no changes to this established industry format.

Writer's Block

If you're finding that your internal editor is leaching all the joy out of your writing; if you think you write too slowly; if you want to write a "don't look down" first draft without editing at all; if you want to encourage a friend to write, try the 10-Minute Burst.  Your reward could be more pages and more fun.

Writing the Synopsis

Another informative article to ease you through the 'synopsis' process.

If you have any other questions regarding The Golden Opportunity Contest or would like an entry form via snail-mail, email contest coordinator
