The Planner
For 2025 we’re starting out with an all-new look with monthly and weekly themes!
The detailed pages of the Author’s Accountability Planner were designed for fiction and nonfiction authors of all levels to outline an entire year of writing. They contain inspiration, scalable graphs, and valuable checkpoints. There are introspective questions about your personal method and places to stop and take a break when you need one. We’ve designed a tool to spark creative energy and manifest that compelling drive we often find amongst our fellow authors, but the best part is, you don’t even have to leave your desk.
What can you accomplish with the Author’s Accountability Planner?

And best of all, meeting your new muses! (That’s right, we’re really going to be in there cheering you on and guiding you all the way through the year!)
