 Just an organizer....writing is always up to you July 30, 2008
It claims a lot but really is nothing more than the same thing I do in MS Word. It's not intuitive at all. It actually takes more time to figure out than save you time. No tabs, no spell check, etc. The refund policy is hard to find. I looked. I threw it into the garbage. I just wanted it to organize my characters and it barely could do that but with longer printing that I do with MS Word. Junk software.
Not practical. May 16, 2008

This software "New Novelist" is not at all practical for anyone who is trying to write. It also does not run well with Vista. I definitely would not recommend it to anyone. What it mainly lacks is the ability to see and put all the information you entered together. It's more like hide and seek or out of sight, out of mind. I tried to print what I wrote so I could peice it together on paper but it didn't have the ability to conform to my needs. Sorry! Just not realistic.

I bought this software (two days ago) from the product website as a download + CD. There was a 28-day money-back guarantee. I only used the program for 1 day.
After spending much time entering data, I was ready to begin plugging my already written manuscript into the software. As I began the edit process, I realized the program is nothing but organizational software. If I had only had bits and pieces of my novel scribbled on note pads, perhaps I would have appreciated the software more than I did.
I was shocked that the word processor did not have word count or spell check features. The name generator formulated some strange suggestions. It also underlines contractions, within dialogue, as though they are errors.
Customer Support:
First of all, I did not receive a confirmation e-mail following the purchase. I checked my bank and the transaction showed up in my account. When I visited the product website, there was no web form available to contact customer service. I decided to surf over to the software manufacturer's website. I sent a message letting them know a form was not available on the product site and that I desired a refund. Then I went back to the NewNovelist site and used their tech support web form to request a refund and ask that they not send the CD. First thing this morning, I got an friendly e-mailed message confirming the refund.

Now this is a great software program! Although I have already written and published two novels, ("Devil's Game" and "My Friend Sam") with three more in the works, this program adds a great deal of "splendor" to your efforts. It strongly "urges" the aspiring novelist to think out his/her characters in advance. This offers more opportunities for them to go off in interesting tangents. I recommend it very highly!
Great Product, Great Service December 6, 2007

I had been toying with the idea of a book for some time now. About 6 months ago, I came across newnovelist and this was the first step. I purchased a copy and it arrived 2 days later.
I had a few problems with the Vista install so I contacted the support team. They came back to me right away with a patch and in no time at all I was getting stuck in.
The program is very simple, but also has some really neat features that were really useful to me in gathering my thoughts and getting the basic storyline right. The beauty of this is that I could go exactly where my imagination wanted to go and it captured all the creative input and helped me turn this into a story.
Another great feature is that I could have a break, or even come back days later, and everything was saved as I had left it. This meant that there were no interruptions in terms of trying to gather my train of thought.
For anyone who has thought of writing a novel, I would like to highly recommend this piece of software. Not only did it help me finish my first novel, but the guys behind it are really helpful.
Thanks again for a great product!
