Welcome to the new YWP site! Sit down, put your feet up, and make yourself comfortable.

That’s enough of that. Get up! You’ve got to lots to do! A new website to explore, novels to plan, worlds and word counts to save. November is just around the corner, and we want to make sure you’re 100% ready for your novel-writing adventure.
