writing tools that actually work.
made for writers...by a writer

the end of boring novel planners. 

"I kept trying new novel workbooks & planners, and no matter how pretty they were, they all turned out to be the same material.

They were full of the same endless, redundant questions that made writing a lot of extra work, and didn't inspire any major ideas. and they didn't help with framework or plotting at all.

I wanted to make something truly exciting and helpful for any writer. something that will actually transform your book from a dreamy pile of ideas and random chapters, to a real finished novel."

- brigit hartop, creator of the story machine
