What it is
Built for First and second-novel writers chasing an 80K manuscript across 12-26 weeks, plus NaNoWriMo participants, and self-published authors juggling multiple books.. Write the book. Track the streak. Send the query. — a browser-native interactive dashboard that lives in a single HTML file, no installation required.
The Author Manuscript Dashboard fixes that in one HTML file. Open it in Chrome, type in your daily count, and watch a complete book operating system come to life: a streak tracker that knows the difference between today and yesterday, a chapter status board with drafted, revised, and final, a character + plot bible you actually update, and the feature no writing planner has, an Agent Query Tracker that turns “I sent 40 queries” into a real conversion funnel.
Every keystroke autosaves to your browser. Close the tab, reopen tomorrow, your manuscript notes are exactly where you left them. Export a JSON backup any time you want to keep a copy or share with a critique partner.
★ EXCLUSIVE ZONE
The Agent Query Tracker is built into Tab 5 and is the reason this product exists. Every query goes in with the agent name, the query date, the agency, the response window, and a status (no response, form pass, partial request, full request, offer of rep). The tracker rolls everything into a personalized response-rate dashboard so you stop guessing whether your query is working and start fixing it.
