Description
Serious writers need serious tools to help with their work. Writing Shed has been designed with you, the writer, in mind. It is more than a word processor, it is a complete management tool for novels, short stories and poetry.
MULTIPLE WRITING PROJECTS
Most writers know there is a lot more to the task of writing than creating documents filled with text. For example, poets typically have hundreds if not thousands of poems. Novelists and short story writers have a similar problem. Writing shed allows you to split your work into projects so finding documents is simpler and faster
MULTIPLE VERSIONS
Usually there will be several versions of each poem/scene/story. Writing Shed lets you create multiple versions of a text without having to create a new name for each.
BUILD OUTLINES
You can build plot/character and location outlines for novels and short stories.
CREATE COLLECTIONS
Build collections of texts for sharing/printing/submitting.
RESEARCH
Import research material including PDF, HTML and image files.
REMINDERS
Add events to the Reminders app to keep track of completion dates, magazine submission windows, competition deadlines and more.
WORK ANYWHERE
Writing Shed can use iCloud to automatically Synchronise your work between your devices (including the forthcoming Mac OS version of the App).
TRACK SUBMISSIONS/KEEP HISTORY
In addition to document management the app provides features that let you track work submitted to magazines, competitions, commissions and other places. Add reminders to the Reminders App. The app maintains a historical record of all your submissions

Ratings and Reviews
Great app for writing and tracking submissions
Nice layout, simple and effective. So handy to be able to track submissions from inside the app. Syncs well between devices too, perfect for writing on the go. Friendly developer responds when contacted and quickly sorts out issues.

Thanks for updating your review. ---------------------------
If v4.10 hasn't fixed your problem then please contact me via the website. The only crash report I have received via Apple is related to importing files to a Novel, and 4.10 fixes this. If Settings>Privacy>Analytics>Share with App Developers isn't turned on then I won't receive any data about your problem.

Thanks for this review. As an indie developer it is great to know that I have got things right. I developed the app precisely because I couldn't find anything to help me easily keep track of my own writing.
Ms
I highly recommend this app!
I’ve tried a few other writing apps, but this one, for me, is by far the best.
Writing Shed has allowed me to move out of a linear mode of writing, now I can write down ideas as they come using the unique ‘scene’ mode. As a result, I feel a lot more freedom as a writer and my creativity has been greatly enhanced.
Creating characters and locations is one of the many great features. You can also write your ideas down in the scene mode and even write different versions of the scene, so there’s a lot of room to play around in the creative space. It’s now an absolute joy to sit down and write, thanks to Writing Shed.
Also, I’ve been able to pass on suggestions and feedback directly to the developer who is extremely responsive and forthcoming, so the app is always changing and improving. It’s pretty much the perfect writing app.
For anyone who’s just starting out on a writing project, whether it be short stories, poems, a screenplay or a novel, Writing Shed is definitely for you.

Great to hear that you are pleased with the app and apologies for taking so long to reply - Apple has only recently added a reply option for reviews. If you have any questions then please go to the website www.writing-shed.com.
It won’t even open
Although I have the latest version of the Writing Shed, the app still won’t open. I tap it, it shows briefly on the screen before shutting down again. I think the termites are eating the shed, please fix.
