VR Apps for Writers
This series focuses on how to use virtual reality and AI tools to support your writing process.
It’s not about testing every app or chasing new technology. It’s about finding tools that help you plan, write, and move through your work more effectively, and learning how to use them in a way that fits how you write.
You’ll find practical breakdowns of the apps, how they work, and how they can be used together to build a workflow you can return to.
What if your writing space could go anywhere you do?
Distractions have a way of following you to the desk. Immersed: A Writer’s Guide to Virtual Reality Productivity explores a different approach: stepping into a virtual workspace designed around the way you want to write.
Using the Immersed VR app, Michaela Wirtz walks writers through creating and customizing a virtual workspace, working with multiple screens, reducing everyday distractions, and using virtual reality as a practical writing and productivity tool.
Immersed is a hands-on introduction to what happens when your writing space is no longer limited by the room around you.
Whether you're a seasoned writer looking to optimize your writing experience or a newcomer eager to explore the possibilities of virtual reality, Immersed provides the tools and insights you need to take your writing to the next level.

Your ideas deserve more than a page. They deserve a space.
You’re reading a sample of Plot. Plan. Create., a practical guide to using Noda for writing, planning, brainstorming, and creative work. Want to keep exploring? Find the complete book at michaelawirtz.com.
Noda is a virtual reality mind-mapping app built for people who think in connections rather than straight lines. Instead of forcing ideas into a traditional outline, Noda gives you a three-dimensional space where you can see relationships, move ideas around, and build structure as your project develops.
Plot. Plan. Create. walks you through using Noda’s visual mind maps, AI brainstorming tools, notes, images, templates, and collaborative VR spaces. Whether you’re plotting a novel, developing a course, planning a project, or working through an idea that refuses to fit neatly on a page, the goal is the same: turn what’s in your head into something you can see, organize, and use.
This isn’t a book about following someone else’s creative system. It’s about building a workspace that fits the way you think.
Plot it. Plan it. Create it.
