Lauritzen Story Arc

Outline your stories from concept to completion. Story Arc helps you structure novels, screenplays, and more with professional plotting tools.

Stop staring at a blank page. Start building your story.

Story Arc is the ultimate creative companion for novelists, screenwriters, and storytellers. Whether you are crafting a sprawling fantasy epic or a tight, punchy screenplay, Story Arc provides the structural framework you need to keep your narrative on track.

STRUCTURE YOUR SUCCESS Don't reinvent the wheel. Use industry-proven templates like The Hero’s Journey, Save the Cat, or the Story Circle to build a solid foundation. Switch seamlessly between a traditional vertical outline and a modern, visual card-based column view to visualize your narrative flow.

PLAN WITH PRECISION Whether you're writing a novel or a screenplay, see exactly where your story stands with our Story Health engine, which highlights underdeveloped threads, pacing gaps, and missing payoffs.

MASTER YOUR THREADS Keep your subplots, character arcs, and thematic elements organized. Assign nodes to custom color-coded threads and use our visual development map to see how your subplots weave through your narrative.
