YWriter may look simple, but as the author of several novels written with this tool I can guarantee it has everything needed to get a first draft together. 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. YWriter6 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.
