Book came in perfect condition. It was packed well and it looks just like the pictures. It's a very detailed planner. Covers you for 12 months.
This is absolutely brilliant and is already proving to be helpful with my manuscripts (yes, plural—there's room for 2 projects PLUS an area at the back for “next time”). I love that dividers were included because I like to stay organized and not have to search when I'm in the middle of a writing frenzy (writers, you know what I'm talking about!). I love how much thought and effort went into this. Definitely recommend and will purchase from this shop again!
Thank you for a wonderful tool to help me navigate my next novel. I look forward to using it!
Super cute, and very convenient. Great for your desk
I absolutely love it! Everything you need in one book
Item arrived quickly, and exactly as described. Bought for my writer and she was excited to start using it!
Great condition, seller was very helpful. The workbook came on time and everything went very smoothly.
This was a gift for my teen daughter who is hoping to be a novelist when she's older. She loved it and I was really happy with the quality and content!
These are gorgeous! I'm so excited
I can't wait to use these! They're gorgeous

Store is fine - turned out ups somehow messed up. I submitted a request and hopefully I'll hear back from them soon.
My daughter will love it!
Cute notebook for planning a NaNoWriMo novel! I wish it had more designs but other than that it's pretty cute.
The item was shipped quickly and is just what I was looking for! I am excited to use this next year as I plan out my story.

Amazing! I love this so much. It came with plenty of sticky tabs, and that's really helpful for quickly flipping through. This is going to help me keep track of things for my MFA thesis. 10/10 will order again.
Also, the packaging. It was hard to open, but the book was VERY protected. No worries about the spirals getting bent!

I love this! I've written and published several novels (under a pen name :)) but have always struggled with organizing character and world building details. Also, keeping track of different projects and deadlines.
The design is simple and easy to use (the tabs that come with it are game changing). Thank goodness! I can't even believe it. I'm not going to have to keep track of notes stuck to my desk, self-sent emails or messages, or random documents that somehow always end up saved, yet lost...
Hell yeah. My sanity, mid-WIP, thanks you :D
