David Hewson’s: Writing a Novel with Ulysses III
Writing A Novel with Ulysses III by David Hewson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I can’t recommend this book enough. I’ve been using Ulysses for a couple of weeks (having already migrated from Scrivener and Storyist) and recently invited to take part in the beta test of the new Ulysses iPad app. Although I had applied for this role, I took fright when I got the gig, and decided I should probably make sure I had my head around the fundamentals a bit more before launching in. For my purposes, this guide was excellent. I am writing a novel, and so wanted to hear from an expert in both fiction, and in Ulysses. Mr Hewson is both. But more than this, he brings a clarity of mind to the proceedings so that, despite the fact that Ulysses is obviously a technical masterpiece, everything is laid out for you here in such a way that there is nothing technical you need grasp to wield it. Put aside an hour or so to read this, an hour (or much less in my case, since I was happy enough with the defaults) to set up your own tailored writing environment in Ulysses, and away you’ll go.
