Click to read our editor's review for Jers Novel WriterJer's Novel Writer is a relatively simple word processor with extra features to support large creative writing projects.

This program is all about momentum, and reducing the number of things that break the flow when I am writing. Jer's Novel Writer is designed to help me keep writing when the creative juices are flowing, and then find all the things I need to go over again when I am more in a nitty-gritty mood.

Here are some key features of "Jers Novel Writer":
Margin Notes like you've never seen before.
Automatic Outline
Full-screen mode
Database
Bookmarks
Separate formatting options for print and screen
It actually knows what a chapter is (or whatever organizational structure you want to use).
A panel for general notes lets you keep track of story issues and ideas (and the last time you ate).
Word count
More accurate page count estimates
Better performance than most word processors for really, really big documents.

What's New:
better toolbar icons (thanks Kreg!)
replace italic with underline print option

bugs closed:
not all print settings were applied correctly on export (still does not to page breaks).
invisible (and unimportant) exception thrown when dragging a margin note into an empty text section
Cannot Reproduce - Changing name of text section causes crash (reported in version 533, same user reports also cannot reproduce in 600)
page count could hang when page break came in just the wrong place
when database is changed in the database window, the database drawer can have invalid selections, leading to trouble with the description field.
