You can register your copy to encourage me to keep working on the software, but this is optional.

You won't pay anything to download yWriter, and my software contains no adverts, unwanted web toolbars, desktop search programs or other cruft. The only time it uses the internet is if you use the inbuilt 'check for update' routine (in which case yWriter simply checks the latest version number from ), or the 'backup to ftp' feature (in which case you have to provide the server address and login details.) It doesn't need or use an internet connection, and all data is stored on your own computer. YWriter is a standalone application which runs on Windows PCs and MacOS. Use TeXworks (free) to generate a print-ready PDF! YWriter will export your work to LaTeX, a powerful page-description language. Now imagine that same novel at 40,000 or 80,000 words! No wonder most first-time writers give up.

I mean, all you have to do is type everything into a word processor! Sure, but wait until you hit 20,000 words, with missing scenes and chapters, notes all over your desk, characters and locations and plot points you've just added and which need to be referenced earlier. If you're just embarking on your first novel a program like yWriter may seem like overkill. YWriter7 is free to download and use, but you're encouraged to register your copy if you find it useful. yWriter was designed by an author, not a salesman! It will not write your novel for you, suggest plot ideas or perform creative tasks of any kind. YWriter is a word processor which breaks your novel into chapters and scenes, helping you keep track of your work while leaving your mind free to create. YWriter is a powerful novel-writing program which is free to download and use.
