BookWrite: ScribeMe

Write the story only you could write. ScribeMe opens on a little bookshop. Step inside and every story you've ever started is standing on your shelf: novels, fanfic, poems, a secret diary. Each one looks the way you made it. Pull one down and keep going. MAKE IT YOUR AESTHETIC Dark wood and candlelight, pink and glowing, or one of eight writing themes: a candlelit scriptorium, a 1940s newsroom, a rainy detective's office, a backstage playhouse, a sunlit lighthouse, a poet's lakeside cottage, an explorer's cabin or a fairy-tale storyteller's cottage. Every theme has its own room and its own front doors, and every one is free. Then choose your covers (leather, cloth, hardcover or paperback), your paper, your pen and your font. Decorate your shelves with ravens, skulls, crystals, unicorns, hearts and candles, or photograph your own keepsake and stand it right there. Seven app icons to match your vibe.
