Book World map in Wrender, with locations and events placed on a line drawing

Map Making Tools

Create the world your story takes place in.

Draw, scatter, trace, or start with a template. Simple map making tools to build your setting in your own creative way.

You aren't creating a basic map. It's a writer's render.

A visual tool for writers.

Before Wrender

  • Scribbled maps on notebook paper you keep losing
  • Stopping mid-scene because you cannot picture the geography
  • Plot events you know happen somewhere but cannot visualise
  • Characters whose locations you are constantly second-guessing

With Wrender

  • An accurate working map that grows as your story develops
  • A reference open beside your writing, so the setting stays clear
  • Plot events where and when they happen, so you can write with clarity
  • Character locations and relationships mapped, so you write with accuracy

Built by a writer, for writers.

“I was writing my novel, set on a fictional island inspired by a couple of islands I know well, and kept sketching maps to bring the world to life. I wanted a tool that would help me visualise the places in my story, understand how my characters moved through them, and use those maps as a reference while writing. That’s why I created Wrender.”

Allison · Founder, Wrender

“I wisely started with a map, and made the story fit”

“If you’re going to have a complicated story, you must work to a map.”

J.R.R. Tolkien · Author of The Lord of the Rings

“I always draw my way into stories. I begin every story I write by drawing a map because it is only when my characters start moving from place to place that a plot unfolds.”

Abi Elphinstone · Author of The Ember Spark series

“Maps begin a story. They send us off on new journeys, set our feet moving and our minds racing.”

Huw Lewis-Jones · Historian and Editor of The Writer's Map
