Is Dramatica Right for You?

Q:  I am looking for a story program. I want to write stories but I have no idea how to start one, create one or structure one. Is Dramatica the program for me?


A: You have found the right software. Dramatica Pro is for developing stories -- any kind of stories -- whether they are for novels, or stage plays, or screenplays, or teleplays, etc.

Dramatica helps you develop your characters, themes, plots, and genre elements. It helps you in ways no other software can. Specifically, it can give you active feedback on your story as you develop it. This means it can tell you things about your story you didn't tell it. That is Dramatica's greatest, and unique, benefit.

The catch is that it is not a quick fix. While operating the software is simple, understanding Dramatica requires an investment in time and energy. It approaches stories from an unfamiliar viewpoint, which gives you insight into your stories but requires learning special terminology to become proficient.

Take a look at Dramatica.com and see some of the many articles, story analyses, and other goodies (including training videos). You can even buy Dramatica from Screenplay.com with a 90-day, money back guarantee.

Dramatica is not for every writer, but it might be what you are looking for.
