About this tool

Big writing projects fail when the finish line is vague. This planner turns a word-count goal and a realistic weekly pace into a calendar. The preset buttons set common targets — adjust them to match your manuscript.

Page counts use 275 words per page, a rough industry average for trade paperbacks. Your formatter and genre may differ. URL state saves your inputs so you can bookmark a plan.
