Here’s What Other Authors, Scribes, And Scribblers Have To Say About Dabble

Melody Calder
This is hands down the best

I’ve tried so many different writing software programs and this is hands down the best. I love the features for plotting and making notes, character descriptions, and being able to move the plot around when I always go in a different direction. I tried Scrivener but the learning curve was just way too much for me. It's super easy level for a tech challenged person like me.

OldSoul Works
Dabble is a dream come true!

Dabble is a dream come true! It was the 3rd writing software I tried and it was so perfect that I instantly bought the lifetime membership. It's a trusted partner as I plot my way through my first novel. Fantastic updates today, Dabble! 👌

Kate McNamara
The interface is so clean and distraction free

I started using Dabble during National Novel Writing Month 2021, and I now have a 70,000 work in progress on Dabble. The interface is so clean and distraction free, and the tracking feature keeps me motivated. I can keep my notes and story in one place.

Milan S
Dabble is the reason I started writing again

Loved the features of Scrivener but hated the aesthetics of it and how difficult it was to sync between computers... Dabble is the perfect mix of all the features I love about Scrivener with the ease of access and synchronization I got from writing on Gdocs. It’s no understatement to say that Dabble is the reason I started writing again.

A. Carey
Does it all without being overwhelming

It just keeps getting better and better. Well worth every penny. I am able to organize my stories better. All the other programs I tried were good for editing or writing. Dabble was the first platform that works well for the entire writing process. I use it to prep, write, edit (rewrite, edit, rewrite, edit, etc.) it’s easy to export the document as well. I also love that I can write anywhere.

Nicci Kadilak
Have written two full novels using the software

I’ve been using Dabble since 2018 and have written two full novels using the softwares. I LOVE the organizational tools like notecards and drag-and-drop functionality, and the team is adding more features all the time! I can now edit my books on my phone and seamlessly pick up where I left off when I’m back at my computer. I love it.

Dabble Is For You, If…

You Struggle To Start & Finish A Book

You have so many ideas, stories, and characters bouncing around your head it’s hard to pick which one to run with.

And when you do start, the urge to jump ship or quit entirely takes hold.

“It helped me so much in my process of writing. Because of dabble I managed to finish two books. I’ve got all my details and world building together so I never lose a thing.”

“Dabble has helped me to be able to see, at a glance, the things that I need to help me keep writing instead of completely stopping the flow.”

You Hit A Brick Wall In The 2nd Act

Your beginning was inspired and the ending your big finale. But in the middle is where complex stories get lost.

You struggle to intertwine plot points, scenes, and characters into a defined middle and push towards a clear ending.

You’re Done With Slow, Ineffective, And Complex Writing Tools

You’ve tried all the other tools and they’re not cutting it.

You’re looking for the best of all words: the organizational tools of Scriver and the simplicity and cloud syncing of Google Docs, but without the ‘office’ feel of Word.

“I tried a number of others, and Dabble was by far the most useful tool that I found. It was the only one that really matched the way I worked. It allowed me to create scenes, name them, move them around, and see how they fit into the longer context. The interface is beautiful and so easy to use.”

“Dabble made it easy to organize my writing so I spend more time writing and less time fighting with software and faffing about.”

Procrastination And Distraction Are Your Biggest Antagonists

Just when your creative energy reaches its peak, you get distracted with formatting, flicking between pages, journals, and notes.

Before you know it, you’ve wasted what little writing time you snatched from your busy schedule, and another scene goes unwritten.
