The problem

Writing is lonely.
The process doesn't have to be.

Most writers track their work in spreadsheets and Notes apps. Nothing exists for the full journey, from first word to published author.

πŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈ
No idea when you'll finish
Writing feels endless when you can't see the finish line.
πŸ—“οΈ
Publishing timelines are a mystery
Beta readers, editing, querying, cover design. Nobody tells you what comes next or when.
πŸ—ΊοΈ
No map for the journey ahead
Traditional or self-publishing? What does a successful launch actually look like? Nobody shows you.
