bibisco is a novel writing software that helps you to write your novel, in a simple way.
We are not a big company. bibisco is a personal and independent project made with love for writers to help them to write beautiful novels.
*The vision*
The idea of the novelist who writes guided only by the sacred fire of inspiration is quite naive.
Writing a novel is like building a house. Words are bricks, but it’s not enough to put one brick after another. If you build a house without a blueprint, it’s bound to collapse.
bibisco gives you all the tools you need to be the architect and the carpenter of your novel.
*All that you need to write your novel*
Organize chapters and scenes, manage revisions, export novel in pdf, docx, txt, epub. Write with a fully-featured text editor also in distraction-free mode.
*Organize your ideas*
Create a novel structure, define premise, fabula, narrative strands and settings: geographic, temporal and social context.
*Create your world*
Design characters, locations, objects useful for the development of the story. Attach their images and keep an eye on them while writing.
*Going into the deep*
Analyze chapters’ length, time and locations in which characters appear, their distribution across chapters, see your entire novel in a timeline.
*Focus on characters*
Novels only work if their characters are believable. Characters are believable when you can understand the complexity of their human nature: qualities, defects, contradictions.
Characters that are completely good or completely evil are stereotypes and therefore are not believable.
In order to create believable characters, you must know everything about them: physical aspect, behavior, psychology, sociology, ideas, passions, life before the beginning of the novel.
bibisco is the novel writing software that helps you to know everything about your characters, in an unusual and funny way: an interview!
