Novelize
What Novelize is
Novelize is a web writing space for hobby writers, fanfic authors, and novelists organizing and finishing stories. Writers can create chapters and scenes, draft scenes out of order, and rearrange them by drag and drop. Outline Mode summarizes chapters and maps a book’s flow. A notebook keeps characters, locations, notes, and lore beside the manuscript. Scene History allows earlier scene versions to be revisited. Novelize says every keystroke is saved automatically, with cloud backups and scene history, and projects sync across mobile and desktop devices. Manuscripts containing scenes, chapters, and notes can be downloaded as DOCX files. Daily and weekly word-count goals and weekly progress emails support writing routines. Grammar plugins are supported, including the ProWritingAid browser extension described in its guidance. The 17-day full-access trial requires a credit card and charges nothing if canceled in time. Collaboration is not available.
