Standout features

Find out what sets each program apart.

All of the tests we perform help us rate key aspects of these creative-writing tools, but you need to spend quality time with each to gauge just how intuitive it is, whether it suits the way you work and – ultimately – if it possesses the tools you need to help improve your writing skills and turn that long-dormant story idea into something more concrete.
