What is Squibler?
Squibler is an online software designed specifically for planning, organizing, and writing novels and other long-form fiction stories. It provides authors with tools to map out the key elements of their story ahead of time so they can better visualize the overall plot and structure before beginning to write.
Some of the main features of Squibler include:
- Character profiles - Build detailed profiles for each character including biography, physical appearance, personality traits, goals, etc.
- Location cards - Create cards for every location that will appear in your story with descriptions.
- Chapter outlines - Plot out individual chapter summaries to map your story arc and pacing.
- Scene cards - Plan out specific scenes, integrating characters, locations, conflicts, outcomes for granular story planning.
- Full mind mapping - Visually map out and connect all story elements from characters to plot points.
- Formatting tools - Tools to properly format dialogue, chapter titles, scene breaks while writing.
Squibler aims to provide an all-in-one solution to help writers organize all their ideas and outline their full story before beginning the writing process. This level of planning and structure makes the actual writing easier and less intimidating for many authors. The software allows creating different projects so writers can map out the key elements of multiple story ideas in progress.
Overall, Squibler's goal is to remove the frustration of staring at a blank page by giving you tools to build your full vision first. With an outline in place, writers can then turn their creativity loose, writing without worrying about forgetting an important detail or losing track of overlapping plot threads.
