StoryMill...our latest release!
Monday, January 07, 2008

We're pretty excited about our next offering, StoryMill, which has been in beta for awhile now. StoryMill is the latest release in Mariner Software's long (and growing) line of writing and creativity software. This time for novel writing.
So how do you describe StoryMill?
Part word processor, part database and built from the ground up for OS X (just how we like it!), StoryMill is the new, smart and
systematic way to write your best seller.
StoryMill has a ton of features but here are some...
-Track, tag and filter characters, scenes, locations, and research with StoryMill's unique dynamic outline.
-Visually and interactively display your story across time with StoryMill's timeline view.
- annotate any text in your project.
- revise your work with innovative tools like a word frequency tracker and cliche finder.
- set and achieve your daily writing goals with the progress meter.
- built-in support for tracking submissions to editors and agents.
-Manage the creative writing process with Smart Views.
-Write, distraction-free, in Full Screen Mode.
-View your novel in multiple views.
-Back up any and all activity in StoryMill
-Native Cocoa, Universal, and Leopard compatible.
This app makes writing fiction or short stories so easy that even a writer as talentless as me can crank out a masterpiece. :-)
We hope to release StoryMill at the Macworld Expo so we are getting close. Be sure to download a copy and try it for yourself.

I've been beta testing Storymill for a month and I love it! I was writing a novel in Microslop Word and was dreading it. I can't begin to explain how frustrated I get when I use that software. Storymill is easy and simple to learn. I'm 19 pages into my novel and would like to personally thank you from kicking me in the pants!

I just realized that StoryMill is the Avenir update. I love the new name: never liked Avenir. I'll miss the notebook icon, though sometimes, out of the corner of my eye, it looked like a checkbook.
So how do we Avenir users get the update?
Hi Ktrion-
Appreciate the kudos. Just head over to our eStore and we have a special upgrade price waiting for you (and all the rest of the Avenir customers).

Is there going to be a boxed version of this, or just the download?
Hi Jonathan-
Good question. Orders from our eStore receive a DVD with CD. Once SM gets into retail, a formal box will be on the shelves there.
Mike
Any idea when that retail boxed version will be in stores? For some reason, I always prefer boxed software to staight downloads. I know it's worse for the environment, but still...
maybe a month or so?
