The Definitive Novel Planner Series
Every writer plans differently, so the Definitive Novel Planner series offers a range of editions that all achieve the same goal: helping you organise your ideas and shape a complete, well-structured story. Each edition follows the same core framework, then adds or emphasises extra pages to support the needs of specific genres or writing styles.
Editions in the series
First-Time Novelist Edition
Built on the full planner framework with added guidance and prompts. Ideal for new writers who want support while learning the process.
Standard Edition
The same core structure without the extra explanation. Clear, spacious pages for writers who already know how they like to work.
Sci-Fi Edition
Follows the standard planner layout but includes additional pages for planets, tech, species, starships, and timelines so you can manage large, detailed worlds.
Romance Edition
Uses the same foundation but adds focused space for chemistry, tropes, emotional beats, and relationship arcs to help deepen the romantic journey.
Compact Edition
A streamlined, portable version of the core layout. Smaller in size, lighter on page count, and easy to carry for writing sessions on the move.
More editions coming soon
All future editions will follow the same core design, with tailored sections for the genres or writing styles they support.
