Description

Serious writers need serious tools to help with their work. Writing Shed has been designed with you, the writer, in mind. It is more than a word processor, it is a complete management tool for novels, short stories and poetry.
MULTIPLE WRITING PROJECTS
Most writers know there is a lot more to the task of writing than creating documents filled with text. For example, poets typically have hundreds if not thousands of poems. Novelists and short story writers have a similar problem. Writing shed allows you to split your work into projects so finding documents is simpler and faster
MULTIPLE VERSIONS
Usually there will be several versions of each poem/scene/story. Writing Shed lets you create multiple versions of a text without having to create a new name for each.
BUILD OUTLINES
You can build plot/character and location outlines for novels and short stories.
CREATE COLLECTIONS
Build collections of texts for sharing/printing/submitting.
RESEARCH
Import research material including PDF, HTML and image files.
REMINDERS
Add events to the Reminders app to keep track of completion dates, magazine submission windows, competition deadlines and more.
WORK ANYWHERE
Writing Shed can use iCloud to automatically Synchronise your work between your devices (including the forthcoming Mac OS version of the App).
TRACK SUBMISSIONS/KEEP HISTORY
In addition to document management the app provides features that let you track work submitted to magazines, competitions, commissions and other places. Add reminders to the Reminders App. The app maintains a historical record of all your submissions

Fantastic App

Since it’s inception and over the years that I’ve used Writing Shed I’ve found it helps me organise my work and writing directly into the app is a huge bonus for me as I can write anywhere and all my machines sync hoorah for Writing Shed I recommend this App with 5 Stars!

What the heck?

Spent several frustrating hours trying to right the bizarre jumping of lines. This has rendered my texts impossible to print or email for competitions or any other use. Words jump onto the next line mid- sentence and I can't double space the whole text. Contact support? A blank page is all I get.

Better than I thought

Contrary to my earlier review, it IS possible to assign chapters and scenes to a project - thanks to the developer showing me how.
The app remains slightly cumbersome, in my view, and inconsistent (sometimes you delete by selecting the ‘Edit’ button and then a bin icon at the foot of the screen, other times this doesn’t appear but you can swipe left to delete).
But these are quibbles. The app is better than I thought and my previous one-star review was harsh. Happy to put the record straight.

Very nice indeed

I love this. Very well organised, with lots of nice touches, I especially like the ability to add notes to a piece of writing. A full-screen mode is available if you want a clutter-free field, and it can sync across devices via iCloud.

Great Writing App

This app does exactly what I need for writing my short stories. Project management, drafts including versioning and allows me to collect research for each project.
Been a couple of bugs but developer tracked them down quickly and released an update within a couple of days. The best writing app I found on the App Store.

Instant Disappointment

For the price, I expected something amazing.
So disappointed.
First, the cloud sync doesn't. Second, the font settings in the editor do nothing. Third, selecting the option to change the default font results in an instant crash.
Primitive. A total let down. There are better apps out there at a fraction of the price.
