James Whitfield reviews writing software. Eight years of testing plotting tools, distraction-free editors, and project management apps built for authors. He came from technical writing, which gave him an eye for how tools actually shape a writing day. His reviews have appeared in The Write Life, Reedsy Blog, and a handful of self-publishing newsletters. He is less interested in feature lists than in whether a tool disappears once you start working.
