Survey Results — 10 Questions We Asked Writers


Late last year we sent out a survey to many of our users. 750 of you responded with answers to 10 questions relating to your writing life. These questions touched on the software you used, the writing communities you participated in, the genres you wrote in, and much more.

Here are a few of the highlights:

  • 44% of writers regularly work on their novel on more than one device.
  • 58% of writers still use Microsoft Word as a regular part of their writing toolkit.
  • 34% of writers say they write Science Fiction or Fantasy.
  • 6% of writers say they write Literary fiction.
  • 20% or writers are part of an offline writers group.
  • Private Facebook groups dominate online writing communities.
  • Romance is the second most popular genre for writers.
