Ready to uncover the secrets of Dan and Word Weaver Pro? Just kidding—no dark secrets here!
I’m Dan, the creator of Word Weaver Pro. I’ve been in the publishing industry for decades, split between editorial and print production. My love for speculative fiction began with classic sci-fi books and shows like Space: 1999 and Logan’s Run, and grew with D&D and Traveller RPGs.
In my teens, I dabbled in writing my own stories but found my talent in desktop publishing. I even tried starting a publishing company, which didn’t pan out. Despite a busy career with major publishers and a family, my stories never left me.
Determined to show my kids the importance of following dreams, I got serious about writing. But I couldn’t find the right tools. So, as a tech-savvy website builder, I created my own web app. It allowed me to work on any part of my story, without worrying about formatting.
This app became Word Weaver Pro. Initially a personal project, it grew into a secure, multi-user platform. After getting invaluable feedback from friends and family, I launched it to the public. I wanted to help others who struggled with writing.
I spoke with aspiring and published authors to understand their processes. This shaped the flexible features of Word Weaver Pro, enabling different writing styles. By 2024, the app was robust enough to generate a first draft, and I rebranded it as Word Weaver Pro.
Today, our team includes Sarah, handling marketing and social media, and Paige, managing business operations. We’re focused on user feedback to enhance the site. Future plans include external editing features and a basic public author website.
That’s the journey of Word Weaver Pro. We aim to help authors organize their stories. As for me, my WIP is progressing, and I continue to enjoy building this tool for writers.
