Mobile Tech Minutes– StoryMill Writing Program
I have started using a program for my fiction writing projects and I am liking it the more I use it. The program is StoryMill from Mariner and it is a sophisticated writer’s editor and project database to make it easier to handle any writing project. In this screencast I show the basics of StoryMill and show how I use it to handle my writing projects. StoryMill costs $49.95 but I find it worth the rather steep cost. It is available on the Mac platform.

I’ve heard of it and considered it, but it’s Mac OS X-exclusive and my old PowerBook G3 would choke on Tiger unless I upgraded the RAM from 256 MB to a full 1 GB…for 60 US$.
I wonder if anyone has developed something like it for Windows.
Yes, there are a number of apps like it for Windows. Try PageFour. I think it’s one of the best for less cost than this one.
Whilst I’m not overly concerned about the application, because it’s not relevant to me, I am absolutely loving these new screen casts James.
So, my big question is this: What does it offer over Scrivener?

I’m not familiar enough with Scrivener to answer that. I did try the trial of Scrivener and for some reason preferred StoryMill. At least I paid for that one.
