NOVEL FACTORY HELPED WHEN AND WHERE I NEEDED IT MOST
I've been writing professionally for over 30 years as an advertising copywriter. Writing 30 to 60-second scripts mostly for TV and radio. However, two years into my debut novel, I discovered how writing a novel was an entirely different prospect. I was struggling halfway through, writing on WORD, when I discovered The Novel Factory, and it was not a moment too soon. I doubt I would have completed my novel without their awesome platform, which provides way more practical resources than I realised I needed and more structure than I was able to muster independently. Without a shadow of doubt, it has improved the quality of work I have been able to produce. And importantly for me, it has dramatically improved my productivity. Of particular help to me was the Version History. It records versions every few minutes, so writers can go back and find the magic sentence they wrote in a scene before they spoiled it. Or, to pick up on a train of thought they seem to have veered away from. I won't attempt my next novel without doing more prep up front with the help of Novel Factory. If you're starting out, or halfway through, the way I was, and you're struggling, or simply think it should be easier, then try the free version. The platform will help you gather your thoughts, where and when you need them most. And if you're ever stuck, the support staff are a great help too.

Hi Michael,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and generous review! We're so pleased that The Novel Factory has proven so helpful for your transition into novel writing – it certainly is a unique challenge and it's always been our goal to make the process as accessible and enjoyable as possible.
It's also great to hear that you've found the version history tool useful – as writers ourselves, we know how important it is to be able to easily revisit earlier drafts and track down those all-important bits of wording!
We hope you continue to enjoy the software, and if you ever need any help, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Novel Factory is a Tremendous Time Saver
I'm writing my first piece of fiction, a manuscript for a novel. I was using native Mac and IOS apps to do so. It was fine for a while but keeping track of character attributes, locations, scenes, chapters, became impossible.
Novel Factory allows me to keep everything in one place. Easily organized and easy to reference. And when I'm ready for my second in the series, I can upgrade, allowing me unlimited manuscripts and the ability to copy all of my current information to the second file.
Writing is, at times, a chore. Novel Factory has made it far less cumbersome. It allows me to write without worrying about all of the details.
I would easily recommend this to any writer. Give the free trial a spin and you will be hooked.

Hi Nancy,
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so pleased that you've found The Novel Factory helpful for your writing – particularly the way it allows you to keep everything in one place. We know how tricky it can be to keep track of notes and ideas, so that was one of our key goals when designing the software!
It's also wonderful to hear that you've had a good experience with our support team. Customer service is hugely important to us and it's something we dedicate a lot of time to, so it's always lovely to hear positive feedback.
Wishing you all the very best with your writing!
I just love this software
I just love this software. I don't know how I could have written my first novel without it. so user friendly and intuitive. What I enjoyed the most was the section on building characters with its 200+ questions.

Hi Danielle,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! We're so glad you've been enjoying The Novel Factory, and it's fantastic to hear that it helped you complete your first novel. One of our main goals when creating the software was to make the novel-writing process feel simpler and ultimately more achievable, so it’s wonderful that it was able to support you in that way.
We’re especially happy to hear that you find The Novel Factory user-friendly and intuitive, as we work really hard to try to make it feel simple and easy to navigate. And the character-building section is one of our favorites too!
Thank you again for your kind words. We wish you all the best with your future writing projects!
The Novel Factory surpasses all the rest!
I would like to express my, absolute, delight with The Novel Factory writing program. Just calling it a writing program doesn't do justice to the many layers involved in this comprehensive novel writing system. The exceptional design of the layout, involving every manner of novel construction
that includes intricate Plot templates, Character creation, and a million steps along the way - all laid out as a multi-faceted novel writing guide. All of the program elements are further bolstered by a full system of academic support, both within the program areas and actual emailed "classes". I am a complete neophyte as a novel writer. Getting that book to flow from my head to paper, in a way that makes sense, is a big project. The Novel Factory is 100% leading the way towards that accomplishment. Also, the people involved at the Novel Factory are just beyond helpful and awesome. I reviewed a lot of programs - The Novel Factory surpasses them all!

We wish you all the best with your writing and if you ever need any help, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Great software if you're a beginner and looking for some guidance on how to get started writing your novel. The roadmap is particularly good for this.
Still needs some work on the UI to be as good as Dabble,b and some work in features to be as good as Scrivener, but they are still working to improve things. I found their customer support to be responsive and valuable.
Overall I found The Novel Factory to have enough features for my needs, works well online, and cheaper than Dabble for a single novel. I used to use Dabble but switched to The Novel Factory.

Changed to 5 star
Update 10/04/2025: I'm changing this into a 5 star review. The customer support was exceptional, very knoweldgable and supportive. I confirm that the app no longer has any syncing issues, as before. And it clearly shows that the company is striving to improve.
Initial review: 02/04/2025
This was a 3-4 star, but I leave it a 4 because of my appreciation for companies that invest in projects that help writers. I like the solution, it provides very nice features but it has some drawbacks which I think should be resolved:
- a bit clunky and unstable, refreshes a lot, loads slowly
- I once wrote on a separate device without internet. When I regained access to wifi I saved my work. This continued to show when accessing it from one device, but never showed when accessing with another one. Dangerous stuff for a writer.
- No dedicated app. I use the in browser app which continued crashing. Now it's a bit more stable lately.
- I would like a feature to write in full screen mode, to get more screen space, when I am submerged into writing.
- There is a feature that uses autocorrect in browser, which I can't disable on my device (I use an ink tablet). This is really annoying.
- I don't like the subscription payment model. Having to pay 3 times more yearly for having more than a book project is not cool. Especially when there are products like scrivener which give you lifetime access for a one time fee (same price).

Hi Romeo,
Thank you so much for your considered review and for all the time you’ve taken to communicate with us, both here and via email – we really appreciate it.
We’re very sorry that you’ve encountered some issues, particularly around syncing and performance on your eInk tablet. As we have discussed in our email communications with you, our development team has looked into this and recently released an update aimed at improving stability on these more niche devices. eInk tablets are still relatively new in our user base, but we recognise their growing popularity among writers, and we're keen to offer more robust support for them going forward.
We also completely understand how important it is to feel confident that your work is safe and syncing reliably. Ensuring data integrity is one of our highest priorities, and we’re continuing to monitor and improve our systems to prevent issues like the one you experienced.
In terms of feature requests, we’re happy to share that we’ve taken on board your feedback and a full-screen/distraction-free writing mode is something we’re actively looking into. We are also working on other writing-focused features such as dark mode, which we hope to release later this year.
Lastly, we fully appreciate that subscription models aren’t for everyone. In response to feedback like yours, we recently introduced a lifetime licence option for Version 3 of The Novel Factory, which allows you to buy our software as a one-off rather than pay for an ongoing subscription. We also work hard to keep all our offerings as competitively priced as possible, while still allowing us to invest in development and responsive support.
Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback and support – it really does mean a lot to us.

We’re so glad you’ve found The Novel Factory to be helpful for your writing and that you’ve had a good experience with our customer support team. We spend a huge amount of time responding to all the enquiries we receive, so it’s always nice to hear that this dedication is appreciated. We also take on board all the requests for features that we receive and use these to guide the development of the software – it’s our goal to make The Novel Factory a tool that can help as many writers as possible, and listening to user feedback is a fundamental part of that. Thank you again for being part of our writing community.
Cost is very high for what it is
Cost is very high for what it is. With so many other writing programs out there, that are only a fraction of the cost of this program, it simply isn't cost effective. It doesn't have features that other programs have and unlike other programs, there isn't new features being put out to keep subscribers.

Hi Nighttimenovelist,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you don’t think the software is cost-effective. We offer a number of subscription and one-off purchase options to try to suit all budgets, with our Basic Annual subscription currently working out at just $6.25/month. This is significantly cheaper than many of our competitors including Dabble ($9/month) and Living Writer ($12/month). We also run regular promotions to help make the software even more accessible.
Regarding features, we’re continuously adding new tools based on customer feedback and suggestions – for example, we have just launched a new ‘Timelines’ feature, which was hugely requested by our userbase. We understand that not every feature will be valuable to every writer, but we are committed to continuously evolving the software to meet a wide range of writing needs. If you have any suggestions or requests for features you would like to see, please do get in touch with us – we’re a small but passionate team, and we’re always looking for ways we can improve.
