The Fiction Collection
The Fiction Collection gathers the pages a novelist reaches for between the first idea and a finished draft: premise and character pages; maps of scenes, threads, and chronology; and the planning and tracking pages every long project needs.
It is built for the long middle of a novel as much as the beginning: a writing session spread, word count markers you set yourself, and a plot thread tracker.
