Are your writing notes scattered across apps, folders, and notebooks? Tired of word processors that crash, lose formatting, or don’t match your creative flow?

The Writer’s Guide to Obsidian introduces a complete, proven writing system—built specifically for Obsidian—that empowers authors to organize, draft, and edit seamlessly in Markdown.

Why Use Obsidian for Writing?

 

Obsidian is a free, local-files Markdown app that’s revolutionizing how writers plan and draft their books. Unlike traditional writing tools, it keeps your files future-proof and fully in your control—no subscriptions, no formatting nightmares, just a clean, creative environment for writers.

This guide helps fiction and non-fiction writers use Obsidian to build a professional, distraction-free writing workflow from idea to final manuscript.

 

"P.D. Workman is incredibly well organised and I always love to sneak peek under the hood of her creativity motor. Her approach is well honed by writing a LOT of books and her use of Obsidian is both minimal and effective." — Kontur
