Helping you to write a novel

Writing a book is a difficult and tedious task. I am an IT student and with a team of 5 other people I have the chance to work on a project from start to end during the next three years. We chose to work on a desktop software tool which could help writers and authors. Let me explain it to you.

As a team of six young writers we agreed that writing a story using Microsoft Word or OpenOffice was lacking of organization tools. But on the other side, writing a story with Evernote or OneNote lacks of word processing tools. We contacted and met a lot of professional and amateur author and writers. A big majority told us we were right about our assumption and we could do good product if we could fix this problem.

So we thought for roughly two month to a solution and we found a name and some cool features. Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you Grimoire. It is a software that helps people write stories. This software is created by writers, with writers, for writers. Indeed authors we contacted are happy and ready to help us in our adventure.

Grimoire is designed with three main concepts. First of all you can write in a classic word processor embedded with an alert for long sentences, word repetition and many more grammatical and style tools. Moreover, and it’s the biggest part of Grimoire, you can use a lot of our features to organize your project. There is the possibility of writing character cards so you won’t miss a detail of your antagonist. You can also create a timeline to put your important events on. Many more features are also available, like a note panel, a chapter viewer, synonyms dictionary etc.

A mobile application is also being developed to allow you to take notes whenever you wants no matter how far you are from you computer.

Finally, all of these tools can be used really easily, in one click you can access all your resources. Keep in mind that we are designing our software for the user so we work on ease of use and clear, ergonomic interface to provide you the best experience you can dream of.

If you are interested by this project and want to be a part of it, you can contact us at grimoire-team@outlook.com, via Instagram: @grimoire_off or Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GrimoireFr/.

tldr: Grimoire is a software that helps you write a story by providing a word processor and many tools that allow you to organize your ideas, write information about a character, order your chapters, create a timeline and many more.
