If you’ve got a friend in your life that wants to be a writer, who has always wanted to write the novel but just hasn’t quite finished it up yet, here’s a few gift ideas to help them get started on that project!
Scrivener
The old standby for writing programs, Scrivener is used by many writers to both work on drafts as well as keeping their notes in order.
Storyteller’s Workbook
When your writer needs to get their ideas together, this book is filled with worksheets to help them take notes and organize their thoughts on their story projects!
Emotion Thesaurus
Sometimes your writer might want to figure out another way to describe what a character is feeling. For those times when they can’t find the word, the Emotion Thesaurus can be a great help!
Aqua Notes
Ideas can come from anywhere, including in the shower! This is a notepad that works in the shower, so that there’s a place for your writer to write down their ideas.
Writer’s Toolbox
For those times when writing is hard and inspiration is hard to come by, there’s a toolbox to help your writer with that! This has a lot of ideas and prompts to help get through some of the rough parts of the writing process.
Journal of the Month
If your writer wants to publish one day, then a literary journal might be the thing to help inspire them! This subscription service will send a literary journal to your writer to show them what the markets are like out there.
A wrist rest
Your writer is going to be doing a lot of writing (Hopefully!) and that means a lot of time typing on a computer where their wrists are probably going to get sore. Something to help make the hours spent on drafts and rewrites would probably be welcome!
Grammarly
Speaking of rewrites, to help your writer along they may appreciate some software to give them a hand! There are a lot of alternatives, but Grammarly is one that will check for spelling, grammar, and tone of voice to help with those second and third and twelfth passes on their drafts!
