You long to write a novel.
To build an entire world from scratch.
There’s a cauldron of ideas that’s been brewing in your mind for so long, bubbling to the surface until it almost spills over.
And you want to publish that novel. To bring magic, joy, and wonder to the lives of others. To captivate and mesmerize your audience with nothing but your words.
That’s the dream anyway.
But there just aren’t enough hours in the day. Life gets in the way. And it seems impossible to keep track of all your notes, plotlines, subplots, characters’ eye colors, and everything else.
You may lack confidence because even though you’re a wordsmith, you haven’t managed to finish that first draft.
You’ve been feeling uninspired and frustrated. You spend too much precious writing time backtracking and rereading what you’ve already written.
You’re overwhelmed because writing a novel requires hard work, dedication, and time. And time is hard to come by, especially when you’re used to putting yourself last, after work and family obligations.
You’re busy. We understand.
And that’s completely normal. We all have responsibilities and other priorities.
But what if that beautiful fairy in your first chapter could wave a magic wand and round up all those index cards and Word docs full of scattered notes? And wave it again and turn them into an elegant, cohesive manuscript?
What if those witches in Chapter 4 could cast a spell and conjure a plot grid, story notes, and focus tools all in one elegant place, just for you?
Ordinary word processors aren’t meant for novelists.
Many writers think they have to use a run-of-the-mill word processor, such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs. These programs are useful and versatile, but they weren’t built for writers.
You know that old saying–jack of all trades, master of none. Programs that can do everything, can end up doing nothing for you.
And doesn’t a blank Word document take you back to your school days? The agony of staring at the blank page the day before a paper is due. Messing with the margins. The little paperclip guy…
And there’s so much intricate work that goes into a novel. Chapters and scenes. Plotting and outlining. Character profiles. Notes, notes, notes…
Software for novels does exist–for example, Scrivener.
But Scrivener is insanely difficult to learn.
It’s so complicated that hundreds of writers have paid Scrivener “experts” for classes and workshops–just to learn how to use the program!
There’s even a Scrivener for Dummies.
To us, that’s mind-boggling!
Writing a novel should be easier, not more difficult
We believe there’s no sense in making something as complex as novel writing any more difficult than it needs to be.
A writer shouldn’t have to choose between a word processor that does the bare minimum and a complex program that takes months to learn.
It’s our mission to help writers like you grow.
Showing up for yourself each day is easier than you think.
We know–we’re writers too.
We knew there had to be a better way to write a novel, so we set out to create one. And by making the process easier for us, we’ve made it easier for you.
We don’t want you to get discouraged by lack of organization and focus. We want you to get that story out of your head and onto the page.
So we did the hard work for you.
Not only will we help you dazzle the world with your writing gifts, but you will also develop healthy, consistent writing habits in the process. We want you to overcome obstacles and become just a little better each day.
And thus, Dabble Writer was born!

Annette 🥇 recommends Dabble.
It just keeps getting better and better. Well worth every penny. I am able to organize my stories better. All the other programs I tried were good for editing or writing. Dabble was the first platform that works well for the entire writing process. I use it to prep, write, edit (rewrite,edit, rewrite, edit etc)it’s easy to export the document as well. I also love that I can write anywhere. Having the app and the website takes away any excuse not to write

Tabitha 🥇 recommends Dabble.
I’ve been writing for years and have spent so much time and money on a dozen or so writing services. Dabble is, by far, my favorite. It’s user friendly, I can work on my stories no matter where I’m at because I always have access to them, I can reorganize scenes and take notes on characters! Not to mention Dark Mode!
I recommend this to anyone who loves writing and is always on the go.
Goodbye, wasted time. Hello, peace of mind.
What’s it worth to you to cross the finish line?
You’ve spent countless hours staring at the page, feeling uninspired, rereading what you’ve already written.
You have the ideas–they’ve been living in your brain forever. All you need are the tools to put them on the page.
And Dabble is so easy to use, you won’t have to even think about hiring someone to help you.
You could pay upwards of $200 for a Scrivener course–that’s in addition to the cost of Scrivener itself.
Or you could subscribe to Dabble for one low monthly price and start writing.

FAQ:
Why is Dabble a subscription service?
We get it–it seems like everything is a subscription service these days.
The simple truth is, we want to give you the latest and greatest at all times. You’ll never have to wait around for months for an update. Anytime we make improvements, those updates get applied to all users automatically.
And we’ve made a lot of improvements.
Check out our Suggestions page–we allow users to submit ideas for features they would like added, and other users can vote on them.
As of this time of writing, we’ve already implemented 76 user suggestions, and many more are under consideration!
Additionally, to make it easier for you, we don’t need your credit card for you to start your free trial. So you can try Dabble absolutely risk-free for two weeks.
But it’s expensive.
We hear you. And again, it does seem like everything is a subscription service, and it all adds up each month. We totally understand.
But for writers, Dabble is an investment. We give determined writers the tools and support they need to finish that novel.
Dabble is not for tire kickers–those who have fleeting thoughts about writing a novel but aren’t willing or ready to put in the work.
It’s for those who know they are writers. Those who would rather give Dabble a shot than try out another TV subscription service.
Will Dabble work for me? Will I really finish my novel?
While we give you organizational, focus, and goal-setting tools that will make your journey much easier, it’s up to you to put in the time and get it done.
Dabble will certainly help you get into “writing mode,” stay organized, and keep track of all your notes.
For many writers, our helpful tools were exactly what they needed to stay on track and fully commit to finishing a novel.
But we are not fortune tellers (you could certainly write about a fortune teller, though!). You put in the work. We make it easier for you to put in the work. It’s as simple as that.
Is Dabble easy to use?
Yes! All you need to do is create a login, which you can use on any device. Your work is always auto-saved and synced across devices.
Once you log in, you can start writing immediately!
Your manuscript is organized by chapter and then scene.
The plot grid and story notes are there when you need them. But when you don’t, they disappear automatically into the background so you can focus on just the page in front of you.
What if I no longer want to use Dabble. Will I lose my work?
Absolutely not! You will always be able to access your work, but it will become read-only. Meaning that you will be able to see it but not add to it or edit it.
What if I change my mind? Will I really get my money back?
Yes–we want to help writers grow. If we are unable to meet your needs, we will refund your money, no questions asked.
