"Storyist provides everything a writer needs to take a story from idea through research, outlining, drafting, and on through the final rewrite, where it ends up as a neatly formatted, publisher-ready manuscript. You get all that in one program. It's enough to make a writer smile." - Cristael Bengtson, Writer, MacValley Users Group

"A wonderful piece of scriptwriting software." - Charles Gousha, Coordinator, Silicon Valley Mac Users Group

"Storyist is the application I was most excited about on the show floor. The $59 application is designed to aid novelists and screenwriters during the writing process. The application has a full-featured word processor, but the real power is in its ability to storyboard. You can generate story sheets for each character that reference major plot points and allow you to define physical traits. When you're writing a 300-page novel, it's a great way to organize your thoughts and plot ideas."- Justin Williams, Writer, Evansville Courier & Press

"The most interesting application I discovered today was Storyist"- Michael Gaworecki, Writer, MacForums, reporting on Macworld 2008

"Storyist is novel- and screenplay-creating program that could become hugely popular if the WGA strike goes on much longer."- Heather Kelly, Associate Editor, Macworld, reporting on Macworld 2008

"It’s a screenwriting word processor that formats your scripts into screenplay format, but also has many unique tools to help keep track of your overall script. Features such as a virtual bulletin board with 3×5 index cards allow you to change the scenes around just like in the old days. Also interesting were the customizable story sheets allowing you to keep data on your characters, locations etc, along with your script, as well as wikki syntax linking which can turn your script into a multi-layered living document."- Videomaker.com
