Plottr Reviews

The software has been very helpful. An added bonus is all the instructional videos and interviews and stuff. I've learned so much. Great support from the team.

It makes it so easy to organize all my random ideas and turn them into a coherent plot. I can also incorporate any method, like Save the Cat or Story Grid.

I honestly can't think of anything right now, unless it's that it doesn't like to be left open between sessions (I get an error message).

I'm a visual learner so having all these tools in one program make for productive plotting sessions and also keep me on track throughout the book. The export to Scrivener feature ties my primary writing program to this plotting tool with ease.

Plottr is a powerhouse of a program that stays in its lane. Every upgrade that has been developed has enhanced my ability to work with a PLOTTING tool rather than this tool trying to expand and take the place of another program. I love that!

I love how Plottr offers a wide variety of well-known method templates to choose from when creating my inspirational romance novels. Each template includes an "expectation description" in the topmost box so I know exactly where my characters are in their journey by chapter and the information I need to reveal or conceal.

Also, the Character development templates are wonderful! Each character page allows a photo and description. The sidebar of each page also allows me to add other characters in the book and the relationship they have with the character in the template.

The "Tags" feature offers color coding for characters, scenes, plot points, etc. I create the tag for my needs, they are not pre-prepared, generic tags. All the color codes appear in the Outline section so I can see at a glance where I might need to bring in a character or conflict.

The only issue I have with Plottr is finding my way between the file I'm working on and the "home" page of my projects. I find my way around, but it's not a very intuitive journey.

Truly helpful in starting a new fiction project. It will be a part of my process from now on, for sure.

Dining room tables should be for family dinners, not rows upon rows of index cards laying out the plot of your latest novel. Plottr solves that issue with easily moveable digital index cards. But even better than that are the template options — 10 + craft books boiled down to a choice of templates to get you started on structuring your book.

There’s a time and place for physically manipulating your plot points and scenes. For everything else, there’s Plottr.
