Comments & Reviews

"I have the e-doc version of Jeannie Ruesch's Novel Notebook. I'm not the kind of person who gives good quotes unless I mean them, so this is my honest opinion. I love the Novel Notebook because it's a complete keep-everything-in-one-place solution for your novel in progress, and even your completed and submitted novel." -- Writer Charlotte Dillon {Charlotte's Blog post}

"...This is one amazing tool for any author's work-in-progress.  It takes you from concept to completion to submission and publication.  It's not only a gold mine.  This is the mother lode." ~ Mary Stella, full blog post at Babes in Bookland

"This notebook is really cool! I love anything that helps keep me organized. I really like the layout too." ~ Mention in the CoolStuff4Writers March 08 Newsletter.

"...the Work in Progress Notebook contains pages for every kind of information you’d need to record about your novel as you write it, from initial thoughts on character and plot to submission and publication. ... it’s clear that this is the product of a working writer’s experience—and not how a programmer or publisher might imagine a writer would work."

Sample Pages

This notebook was born of one writer's ever-growing pile of papers, notebooks, notes, sticky notes and random napkins I could find to write down the details of my manuscripts. I created this to keep me organized, on track and to remember those pesky details that always come back to haunt me.

Then someone suggested others might find it useful. So here it is, neatly packaged and spiral bound just for you! Use it however you choose. Rip out pages that don't apply. Scribble all over them. Doodle in the corners (like I do). But whether you are a writer who plots ahead or writes by the seat of your pants, this notebook can help keep you organized, as well as track the process of your story and all the elements. It is broken down into the various sections of writing a novel, from conceptualization to character creation to a final editing and polishing checklist and a submission tracker.

I hope you find it helpful in charting the course of your book. The cover is designed with a blank space for your WIP title. Grab your permanent market and get started!
