STRUCTURED

I really love the structure the different steps provide. Each step is very thorough, but also very convenient. I also love all of the reference information that is provided - the guides, their forums, the questions the samples

METHODICAL

Now Novel has provided me with a wealth of information in small, easy to digest, doses so that I can methodically go back to my work and improve one aspect at a time

ORGANISED

A good, solid program to help guide new writers toward their first draft, first round of edits and first publish. The mentor program is also excellent!
