Fantastic App! I enjoy being creative and it allows me to publish stories as well after i create them.

My Creative Writing Club loves to use this to publish their yearly books for poetry, short stories, and art! The only drawback they hate is when EVERY mistake must be corrected, even if it's purposeful and for the sake of the artform :) However, it's a great tool to teach poetry to visual learners who struggle with abstract writing and concrete learners who struggle as well.
