Plot Factory

Plot Factory is a browser based story planner and writing application for fiction writers. It combines a manuscript editor with the structural apparatus a long project needs: chapters and scenes, viewpoint tracking by scene, character sheets, a universe notebook for worldbuilding details that can be linked to one book or many, place descriptions, plot outline templates and a notes area for links and ideas. Everything runs in a browser, including on a phone, with automatic saving after every edit. It is aimed at hobbyist and serious novelists who want planning and drafting in one place. A narration generator reads passages aloud in lifelike voices, supporting English accents and female voices, which is useful for catching run on sentences and awkward flow. Writing statistics track daily, weekly and monthly word counts against a goal, and show how much attention each character receives. Drafts export to Word, ePub, text, PDF or HTML, a chapter at a time or as a whole, and sharing links let beta readers or editors read without an account. A name generator, thesaurus lookup, character avatars and discussion forums round out the set. Four tiers are published, with a 14 day free trial on the paid plans. Basic is free and allows one story, one universe, dark mode, automated backups, goal tracking, thesaurus lookup and 250 words of narration a day. Hobbyist is $9 a month or $90 a year and adds unlimited stories and universes, character sheets, no advertising and 1000 words of narration a day. Enthusiast is $14 a month or $140 a year and includes unlimited narration. Novelist is $19 a month or $190 a year. The site also promotes a successor product, Plot Factory Studios, described as the next iteration of the platform.
