Writing
Book Creator ($7.49) There also for the free version which only allows you to make one book.
Brilliant book creator, make your book and it sends it to iBooks and exports to video in the camera roll- now with embedded audio, video and freestyle handwriting features. There is also Book Creator Free which is fully functioning but you can only make one book. Look also for Book Creator for Chrome

Write About This NZ ($5:19)
Either select from pre-set writing prompts or take your own. Record a voice prompt to go with it and write your story. When you're done you can record your story and export it to your camera roll. Here is my quick example. This is the link to the New Zealand version. Woohoo.
