![]() It really keeps me moving ahead knowing that I’ve got a goal to reach and something-if not someone-watching to make sure I reach it. For those of us who like to keep track of how many words you’ve written in a day, this is a great tool. Another press of a button and the book is compiled into an ePub or mobi document.Īlso like Scrivener, you can have it keep track of your daily word count with a daily goal as well as an overall book goal. Once my story is done, with a click of a button, the contents of the cards are transferred into the individual documents which will become the chapters of my book. I have to admit, I still write my scenes in Word, but then I copy and paste it into the card in Jutoh. If I want I can easily write the scene in Jutoh-all the regular functions of a word processor are there. I have a different card type for each of my protagonists, each one having a different color background so I can easily see whose POV a scene is in. This saves me so much time-when I click to create a new card automatically is listed “Goal, Conflict, Turning Point” and other important points I want to be able to fill in and have at my fingertips while I’m writing. You can create different types of cards and even have pre-set text that simply appears on a card when you double-click to create it. I can’t tell you how much I love this new feature. Just like in Scrivener, you can now create virtual index cards to storyboard your book. Jutoh makes doing all these things super-easy and, on top of that, has a pretty low learning curve.Īnyone can install Jutoh and have a great-looking ebook within minutes.īut now, with the newest update there are all sorts of great added features like spell-check, author tips and writing prompts, but best of all is the new storyboard feature. With capabilities including drop caps at the press of a button, easily embedding fonts into a book, and-one of my favorite-conditional formatting so in one document you can create retailer-specific versions of an ebook with links that go back to the retailer where the book was purchased. It’s clear the developer, Julian Smart, is trying to make Jutoh a program geared toward authors-something they can use instead of Microsoft Word or even Scrivener.Īlready Jutoh was a great program at creating well-designed, professional ebooks. Jutoh 3.0 has a whole host of fantastic new features for not only for formatters but for writers. And just when I thought it was all that was wonderful for formatting beautiful books-the developer went and made it BETTER! I’ve even got a free video up on YouTube on how to get started formatting with Jutoh. I have been using it for many years as a professional formatter. ![]()
