What’s the best software for organising your writing? in the forum Aspiring Authors 11 months, 1 week agoI might not be the right person to answer this question as I’m a big fan of LibreOffice. I like to put each chapter in a separate file and then add a section for each chapter linked to the files to get one master file.
