About

Storyspace is a tool for complex, interlinked narrative, both fiction and nonfiction. The pioneering hypertext environment for serious interactive writing.

Hypertext writing environment especially suited to large, complex, and challenging hypertexts. Guard fields activate and disable links as reader moves through document. Supports both calligraphic hypertext (linking as you write) and sculptural hypertext (densely linked bundles refined by removing links). Map view shows each writing space and its links. Writers can add, link, and reorganize by moving spaces on the map. Creates hypertexts with redistributable stand-alone reader. Works with existing Storyspace files and creates documents in robust XML format. Shares files with Tinderbox.
