🖊️ The Ultimate Myth and Fairy-Tale Retelling Writing Planner

A clear, supportive companion for writing your retelling

Writing a book isn't about waiting for inspiration. It's about showing up, even on the days you feel unsure, stuck or overwhelmed.

The Ultimate Myth and Fairy-Tale Retelling Writing Planner is designed to help you do exactly that. It's a fairy tale retelling planner and myth retelling planner in one, built around the way myth & fairy-tale retelling actually works.

With 90 thoughtfully structured, fully hyperlinked pages, this digital planner for iPad and tablets gives you a calm, organised space to turn ideas into chapters, chapters into drafts, and drafts into something real. Whether you're writing your very first retelling or returning to a half-finished manuscript, it meets you where you are and helps you move forward, one page at a time.

Created by an author, for writers who want focus, clarity and progress, without pressure or overwhelm.

✔ Want to retell a myth, legend or fairy tale your way
✔ Need to map the original beats and characters
✔ Want to know exactly where you break from the source
✔ Are tackling NaNoWriMo and want steady guidance
