"It all boosted my confidence and kept me writing until the end of the story".

I have at least a dozen novels I plan on writing for the next few years and I wouldn't be confident in even starting them unless I was equipped with Now Novel.
Paying a subscription has given me full access to the Dashboard on the site which helps enormously in order to collate all my ideas in one place.
I didn't know where to start. Now Novel came to the rescue. I used the tools to define my characters and posted excerpts for peer review. Since those first tentative steps I have had three novels (the SimCavalier sci fi series) and four short stories published.
Thank you, this tool is amazing and I'm finally able to lay all of this out in a way that is accessible to me. I'm seeing patterns that I hadn't noticed before and I'm able to restructure the entire story.
I'm grateful for Now Novel that has greatly helped me work on my goal of writing a novel... I'm loving their process and the strong support of my coach and look forward to the process moving forward in the coming months. Plus it's just plain fun
I'm so glad to have a novel blueprint... and I love the way it reappears when needed during the writing process. And all of the truly helpful articles (that's how I found Now Novel). I now feel like I have a chance at finishing a well structured (readable) novel. Very exciting.
An online novel writing course that's tailor-made to get you to actually write that book you've been thinking about.
