StoryMill (originally Avenir) is a text editor designed for fiction writers. It provides scene, chapter and character management capabilities along with the ability to annotate text and a claimed industry-first timeline view.

Avenir was developed by Todd Ransom, of Return Self Software, who also developed Montage, a Mac screenwriting application, for Mariner Software. From version 3, Avenir is being "republished" by Mariner, as StoryMill.[http://www.marinersoftware.com/eventview.php?event=52 Mariner Software Announces StoryMill 3.0 Company to Republish Novel Writing Software] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080508183411/http://www.marinersoftware.com/eventview.php?event=52 |date=2008-05-08 }}
