• Looking for writing processor

  If what you are looking for is software that specializes in writing books then office-like software is not ideal. You can use them, many do but they are not created for that, they are not optimized for that. I suggest you try other types of software. For example. Novascriber - It has a learning curve equal to that of scrivener, in the sense that you have to study a little bit before you can use it to its best... Source: 12 months ago
