Back to School: StoryMill is $20 off today

TUAW's going Back to School! We'll be bringing you tips and reviews for students, parents and teachers right up until the bell rings in September. Read on for a deal for high school & college English students.



More from the bargain bin, for those aspiring authors of fiction (or simply those who have chosen to take a course in the subject): Mariner Software's StoryMill is $20US off today (8/18) only, taking it from the usual price of $49.95 down to $29.95. Owners of the older Avenir app can upgrade for $14.95.

StoryMill offers features designed to ease the creative process of novel-writing past the "stare at a blank piece of paper until drops of blood appear on your forehead" stage; character and scene tracking tools, a 30,000-foot overview mode, and 'distraction free' writing view (like WriteRoom) are all in the kit bag. You can download a demo version from Mariner's site.
