ABOUT
How bibisco helps you to write your novel
The idea of the novelist who writes guided only by the sacred fire of inspiration is quite naive.
Writing a novel is like building a house. Words are bricks, but it's not enough to put one brick after another. If you build a house without a blueprint, it's bound to collapse.
bibisco gives you all the tools you need to be the architect and the carpenter of your novel.
All that you need
Organize chapters and scenes, manage revisions, export novel in pdf, docx, epub. Write with a fully-featured text editor also in distraction free mode.
Organize your ideas
Create a novel structure, define premise, fabula, narrative strands and settings: geographic, temporal and social context.
Create your world
Design characters, locations, objects useful for the development of the story. Attach their images and keep an eye on them while writing.
Going into the deep
Analyze chapters' length, time and locations in which characters appear, their distribution across chapters, see your entire novel in a timeline.
Speaking your language
bibisco speaks czech, dutch, french, german, english, italian, polish, portuguese (Brazil), portuguese (Portugal), russian, serbian, slovenian, spanish, turkish.
Multiplatform
bibisco is a desktop application available for Linux, MacOS and Windows.
It begins with a character, usually, and once he stands up on his feet and begins to move, all I can do is trot along behind him with a paper and pencil trying to keep up long enough to put down what he says and does.
OUR VISION
Focus on characters
Novels only work if their characters are believable. Characters are believable when you can understand the complexity of their human nature: qualities, defects, contradictions.
Characters that are completely good or completely evil are stereotypes and therefore are not believable.
In order to create believable characters, you must know everything about them: physical aspect, behavior, psychology, sociology, ideas, passions, life before the beginning of the novel.
bibisco is the novel writing software that helps you to know everything about your characters, in an unusual and funny way: an interview!
