How you’ll develop your ideas

You'll have continuous access to a suite of story outlining tools. Using prompts, articles and callbacks to what you've brainstormed already, develop a story outline in easy steps that grows as your ideas do. Then use the Scene Builder to plan scenes with drag-and-drop, tagging and filtering. See the arcs, actions and reactions of your story laid out the way you want.

Does lifetime membership include writing feedback?

It includes peer feedback in our free-to-join community with the added perk of being able to submit longer pieces for critique and more simultaneous submissions in review than if you have a basic/free account. If you would like professional editorial feedback, The Process plan includes weekly feedback from an editor and live feedback sessions, or you can purchase private editing at any time billed per word.

What Now Novel members love:

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.

— Eric

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.

— Christine

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.

— Kate

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.

— Josh

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

— Ryan

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.

— Nick
