More-so, the application automatically generates graphical representations of the book's framework, based on all the dependencies created by users.Although the program might seem complex and unwieldy at start – largely due to the multiple menu items available, newcomers should rest assured, as adding new plot elements is very easy to do. Numerous fields store all the required data and to insert a new character, for example, one needs only to define all the corresponding personal details.

Export books to PDF formats

Once parts, scenes, and chapters have been built, users can also link their newly created book elements to these items and at each step of the way authors can add notes. Ample text boxes hold the intricate plot lines and simple statistics are always in sight in the bottom status bar.Informative standard and Gantt charts are automatically created based on all the input data and, once satisfied with their work, authors can export projects to CSV, HTML, PDF or XML formats.

An overall useful tool for writing book plots and character interactions

In conclusion, oStorybook is a practical writer's aid that can be highly valuable to anyone involved in writing novels. The utility keeps track of all the major book elements, including plots, characters, locations, and scenes.
