Very handy. I'd found most of these apps during my own exploration into Mac writing tools. Scrivener is the one I've settled on, and rather like. Beats the heck out of using a Word doc per chapter, and then taking them all with another tool, like a mind-mapping program (my previous method). The mind-map / Word method was great, I must say, but Scrivener just has so many cool features to make writing a beautiful experience… and using NovaMind (or any number of other mind mapping programs) I can still do the initial brain storming and planning in a mind map, then export that into a file that Scrivener turns into an organised structure of documents rather nicely. Anyway, I am now checking out a few of the Additional Writing Tools you listed. Cheers… Jonathan Thanks for putting together this list. Very handy.
