The novel corkboard: parts as columns, with chapter and scene cards and the prose beneath each beat

Novel

Get the book out of your head

See the shape of the whole story while you write the manuscript, chapter by chapter.

The flow chart: the player's dialogue choices branching out

Game

Make your story playable

Turn scenes into choices and choices into consequences, without having to become a programmer.

The method

Start where writers start: with the story.

Build it visually, see how every beat fits together, then open any scene and start writing.

The Pro Writer OS story board: acts as columns of beat cards, with branch points and a subplot column

See the whole story before you disappear inside the pages.

01

See the whole story

Build it from beats to scenes to sequences, without losing sight of the shape of the whole.

02

Write straight from the plan

Open any scene and start writing. Your outline becomes the work itself, rather than a document you abandon.

03

Finish in the format you need

Take it all the way to a submission-ready screenplay, a finished manuscript or a playable game.

Change the story without losing the thread.

Move a beat. Rewrite a scene. Restructure an act. Your plan and your pages stay connected, so you always know where you are, and revision mode shows you exactly what changed.

Watch a story go from first beat to finished page, then come alive as a game with real dialogue choices.

For screenwriters

Write professionally formatted scripts without thinking about formatting.

  • Just write. Every line falls into place, the way a script flows.
  • Every scene grows from a beat on your board, so the structure never slips.
  • Keep track of every location and character across the script.
  • Pitch it with a one-page pitch built from your own story.

For novelists

Keep the shape of the book while you write the pages.

  • Plan parts, chapters and scenes on your board, then write straight into them.
  • Read it back as one clean, continuous manuscript whenever you like.
  • Keep every character in one place, and log new ones as you write.
  • Send it out in the manuscript format publishers expect.

For narrative designers

Write a game as easily as you’d write a script.

You don’t need to learn programming. You already know how to tell stories. Build choices and consequences out of the same scenes, characters and beats you already work with.

Three dialogue choices for Mara, each with its own effect

Write the choice.

Give your player something to say. Every reply becomes its own scene, written just like the rest of your script.

Rook's deal offers three options, shaped by the player's earlier choice

Decide what changes.

Trust, courage, loyalty, whatever your game runs on. Choices change it, and later options open or close because of it.

The flow chart view of an act

See where it leads.

Follow every branch on the flow chart, then play the story yourself, choices and all, before anyone else does.

Why not just use Final Draft, Word or Trello?

You can. But then your project lives in different places. Pro Writer OS keeps your planning and writing together – and connected – for every kind of story you tell.

Your ideas and output are yours alone.

Pro Writer OS works entirely offline. There are no accounts and no servers, so your drafts are never uploaded anywhere or used to train anyone’s AI. Every project is plain files in a folder you choose. Optional AI loglines only switch on if you add your own key.

Meet the founder

Made by a professional storyteller.

Billy Cook, creator of Pro Writer OS

Pro Writer OS is created by Billy Cook, a television drama story producer with hundreds of hours developing high-end TV drama for major broadcasters and 40 hours of prime-time production credits on acclaimed, award-winning shows.

His credits include BBC One’s international sensation POLDARK, Sir Christopher Hampton’s THE SINGAPORE GRIP for ITV, and the reinvention of SILENT WITNESS as a serial thriller for its silver anniversary on BBC One.

Pro Writer OS is the software he refined and wished he’d had on the industry’s front lines, built so every writer can easily grow each of their stories into a masterpiece, in whatever medium they want.

Questions

Do I need to be online?

No. Pro Writer OS runs entirely offline. The only thing that ever connects is the optional AI loglines, and only if you add your own key.

What happens when the trial ends?

Nothing is lost. Every project stays open to read and export. Activate a licence whenever you’re ready to keep writing.

Can I turn a screenplay project into a novel or a game?

No. You choose the type when you start a project. What carries over is the creative approach: the boards, the shortcuts and the method are the same in all three.

Can I bring in my existing work?

Yes. Import a Final Draft script, a Word manuscript, or an Ink or Articy project, and keep going from where you left off.

Whatever you write, start with the story.
