## Summary
|
|
|
|
PlotDirector is a web-based planning and continuity platform for novel writers. It helps authors organise stories from the earliest ideas through to the finished manuscript by bringing together timelines, characters, locations, plot threads, relationships, story metrics and writing tools within a single project.
