Short Story Writing Planner, Flash Fiction & Submission Tracker, Digital Planner for Short Story Writers

🖊️ The Ultimate Short Story Writing Planner

A clear, supportive companion for writing, submitting and collecting your short stories

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 Short Story Writing Planner is a 54-page, fully hyperlinked digital planner for iPad and tablets. It's for writers of short stories and flash fiction. Collect ideas, plan and polish individual stories, research magazines and competitions, track every submission, and build your best work into a collection.

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

💡 The secret of a good short story: A short story has room for one big change. Pick a single moment of pressure, start as close to it as you can, and end the moment it changes. Everything else is optional.

🌱 Ideal For Writers Who:

✔ Write short stories or flash fiction and want somewhere to plan them
