The latest improvements to One More Draft. We ship often - here's what's changed.
New
More story frameworks, and beat sheets that pre-fill your manuscript
Eight new frameworks for novelists and nonfiction writers, grouped by category in the new-project wizard so the right one is easy to find.
Start a manuscript from a framework and its beat sheet pre-fills - the head start screenplays already had. Already writing? Use "Populate from beat sheet" on an existing manuscript.
New TV templates (a 30-minute sitcom and an hour-long drama) join the screenplay set.
Improved
Tidier planning panels
Rename a character once and it updates across your Timeline and every character field automatically - nothing goes stale.
Character, Timeline, and World cards now collapse, so a big cast or a busy timeline stays scannable.
Reorder characters and world elements by dragging them into the order you want.
New
Write comics and graphic novels
OMD now speaks comic script: PAGE headers, panels, captions, dialogue, SFX, and in-world lettering, formatted the way artists and letterers expect.
Import an existing comic script PDF and OMD recognizes the panels and captions for you.
Read, write, and export comics right alongside your screenplays and novels.
Improved
OMD Desktop keeps getting better
Desktop 1.0.3 fixes the screenplay toolbar alignment and sharpens Find.
The desktop app remembers your framework choice and pre-fills beat sheets, matching the web.
New
More free writing guides and a bigger craft glossary
New step-by-step guides: how to write a thriller, a fantasy novel, science fiction, a young-adult novel, a memoir, and a short story - each funneling into a free planner.
The writing-craft glossary grew to 65 terms, cross-linked from the guides.
New
Free story-structure field guides (PDF)
Download in-depth PDF guides to eight major story structures: Save the Cat, the Hero's Journey, Three-Act, Romancing the Beat, the Story Circle, Kishotenketsu, the mystery beat sheet, and the TV pilot.
Each one walks the framework beat by beat with craft notes, a worked example, and a printable worksheet.
