GBA Must In My Workflow Plottr is an essential tool in my writing toolbox. I use it writing my novels and with my serialized fiction stories for Kindle Vella. The timeline allows me to view events within my story at a moment's notice. I use the Notes section to help me keep track of story questions I may have later, things to watch for when rewriting, etc. The characters and places sections are especially helpful for keeping a story bible. Pair it with AI imaging from sites like MidJourney, Dall-e 3, etc, and I can see my worlds brought to life. What I truly love is the personalization options available to users. I doubt any two people use Plottr the same. I have my own color-coding system to go along with my tags. This allows me to not only organize my stories as I want to see them but also to filter easily. I have used Plottr since 2020 and haven't regretted spending a single penny on it. It's one of the few monetary investments I've made in writing that I can say that about.

GBStory Structure and Templates I really like all the options for structuring a writing project in plottr. For a new writer, this is a really good tool so far. It is flexible enough to use my own structure (once I have one) but it is really great to be able to start with some idea of what a good novel should have in terms of flow and plot points. Not restrictive, but helpful.

GBExcellent story planner On top of Plotter having all the features I need and want for outlining my plot and keeping track of world building notes, the support team is always quick to answer any questions I've had about the application on various operating systems or about my account. The timeline function is incredibly useful, being able to visualize my plot points and rearrange them is fantastic! I've found it useful for planning any kind of story from short stories to custom RPG campaigns.

AUEasy to use and everything you need is there! I have been highly impressed with Plottr. It is simple to use, and it has a great timeline feature that allows you to either access the built in story templates or create your own. The timeline template is easy to manipulate- notes and sections can be added, or moved around. This great layout means that you can also create and align your character arcs with your story arc, which definitely makes the whole plotting process much clearer. I have also enjoyed the character and settings section of the software which allows the information to be readily accessible and include images sourced from the internet. I would definitely recommend this plotting software to writers who want an easy to use and visually satisfying planning tool that allows them to deal with every aspect of the story planning process.

GBGreat for non-plotters I hate to plot and tend toward being a pantser. This gives me a plan and I love being able to keep track of time, places, etc via tags. I only gave it 4 stars because is a bit pricey for an unpublished author.
