See the shape of the whole book
The corkboard and the outliner. Your book as cards, or as a sortable table.
Sometimes you need to see the structure, not the sentences. Verkilo gives you two ways to stand back from the manuscript and look at the whole thing, then step right back in to write.
The corkboard
The old wall of index cards, without the wall.
- Every section becomes a card with its synopsis and word count
- Drag to reorder and rearrange the book
- Spot the gaps and the pacing at a glance
The outliner
The same book seen as a table. The bird’s-eye pass.
- Title, synopsis, word count, POV, and compile status in one view
- Sort by any column to check pacing and balance
- Jump into any section straight from the list
The corkboard and outliner follow the order of the book. To see the order things happen, across every book in the series, use the Story Timeline.
Common questions
- Does rearranging cards actually move the sections?
- Yes. These views are your real manuscript, not a separate planning space. Move a card or a row and the section moves with it.
- How is the outliner different from the corkboard?
- Same book, different angle. The corkboard is visual cards for arranging; the outliner is a sortable table for scanning detail like word counts and POV.
