Jers Novel Writer1.1.12

It's worth downloading this just to read the EULA - it's brilliant :D

Current version is not compatible with Mac OS Catalina. Any chance for an upgrade?

Is Jers Novel Writer still supported?

I wish they'd update it to support QuickLook... Heck, I wish they'd update it at all.

So good to see this back. Never seen any writing software that suits me as well. I implore everyone to give it a try. Beautiful margin notes too!

Ok, this version installs and launches without a problem. Seems to be pretty stable, too.

Jer, Drop 1.0 on us if you want to accomplish financial gain or even general interest. Scrivener is taking the cake. Don't back down to competition, foster it. Also, Jer's is the best of the old-gen products: Ulysses, Avenir, etc. - Bring the beast back to the peak!

I've noticed there haven't been any reviews of JNW for about a year. That's too bad, since many folks would benefit from trying out this terrific app. I've been using 0.614 for the past three months and putting it through it's paces. The developer's objective was to create an app that helped him write without the distractions of Word and Word-like programs, as well as to give him the organizational flexibility to track, edit, and restructure story elements. Even in this beta version, he has succeeded remarkably well. The program is stable and a delight to use. Anyone working on a longer document, who is concerned more with writing than formatting, would benefit by giving it a try. Jerry is also very responsive to user community feedback. The whole experience has been a pleasure.

The combination of a WORKING outliner (unlike the bizarre “outliners” in Copywrite and Ulysses, let alone Avenir, which don't actually outline anything), dynamic database, floating margin notes and a few other features (e.g. good implementation of full screen), makes it a winner for me. I've been writing in it for the last few weeks, and then suddenly decided to ‘try again' Ulysses and CW... has's been able to write a single scene in them, spending all my time fighting with interface. I don't think JNW is a knock-off of anything. The concept is quite novel. And for now, it's free...

I wish I had found this sooner, before banging my head against the wall with other word processors.

Great EULA! (Someone does read them...)

First class. If you're a creative writer or want to be, this program is for you. Its clean, intuitive, well-organized - an ideal environment for the writer. Congrats Jer. Your Novel Writer is an absolute winner.

This beta is, for me, the very best Mac app for creative writing, and it beats Copywrite (and a few others). It shows that it is conceived by someone who is himself a writer.
