Ask an AI to outline a novel and it hands back three acts and nine paragraphs of summary, which is no help at all on the Tuesday morning you sit down to write chapter nineteen and cannot remember whose head you are in. This novel outline generator produces a document you work from: one row per chapter, with the POV character, the word count target, the job that chapter does, and what has changed by the end of it.
Paste the prompt into Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot, then give it your premise or your existing draft plan, your target length and how many POV characters you have. It asks five things, then returns the chapter grid, a subplot tracker showing which chapters each thread appears in, a POV balance count, a word budget measured against your target, a timeline column that catches the calendar errors, and a flagged list of chapters that currently have no job.
Pay once, keep the file. It costs less than a coffee and it outlines every book you write after this one. Files are re-sent any time and there is a 30 day money back guarantee.
