Why Dear Pantser exists
I'm a pantser. Like Stephen King, I write to discover the story — not to follow a plan. When an idea hits, I need to write now, before the spark dies.
But every time I started a book, I hit the same wall: the cover. Professional designers charge $300–500 and take weeks. By the time I got my cover back, the momentum was gone.
So I flipped it. What if the cover came first? What if you could see your book — really see it — before writing a single word? That image becomes your north star. You plot just enough to have a direction, knowing you'll change course along the way. Because let's be honest — we're all pantsers at heart.
Dear Pantser exists so you never lose that spark. Find your cover, plot your story, and start writing — in minutes, not months.
