Novel & Genre Planning

Genre-specific planners for fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, romance, and short stories.

Fantasy Novel Outline

Capital, wilderness, dark kingdom, magic system, and party cast — plus fantasy-flavored three-act scenes from ordinary world to final battle.

Define your technology’s limits and costs, map stations and ships, and outline the mission from status quo future to new future.

Case-board layout: pin the crime, track suspects with motive/means/opportunity, plant clues and red herrings, then land the inevitable reveal.

Map chemistry, barrier, bonding, black moment, declaration, and reunion — plus notes for trope and conflict type.

Keep it tight: one character, one situation, setup → conflict → turn. Built for a single compressed experience.
