Great Deal for Writers Using Windows
National Novel Writing Month
Scrivener
WriteWayPro
For Mac Users:
Are you considering giving Scrivener a try while you're writing your entry for NaNoWriMo 2009? You're in luck! Normally, the application comes with a 30-day free trial. While that's long enough to last through the 30 days of writing ecstasy that it NaNoWriMo, you should get to know the tools of your trade before you start writing. Downloading the trial version of Scrivener between now and the start of NaNoWriMo on November 1st gives you a trial version that lasts until December 7th, long enough for you to not only finish your tome, but also make your first editing pass before sending it to your publisher.
Now here comes the really fun part -- if you are successful in writing your 50,000 words by November 30th, you can buy Scrivener starting on December 2nd at a 50% discount off the normal license price of US$39.95. Those who run out of luck or time and aren't NaNoWriMo finishers can still get 20% off by using the promo code NANOWRIMO.
For Window Users:
Scrivener has a deal for NaNo, but they don't offer a Windows version. For those of us who use Windows, we're SOL.
Well...not really.
If you want something similar for Windows, try WriteWayPro. You can download the demo and try it out for thirty days. I've heard good things about it from a lot of writers, including Larissa Ione. Also, it was created by Lara Adrian's hubby, so it's much more writer-friendly than many other programs out there. WriteWayPro is also on Twitter, and I found them (him?) to be very responsive.
There's also a special coupon code valid until November 30, 2009: $20 off the WriteWayPro download version. Just type NANO-PRO20 when you check out.
