WIPmate – a gentle writing companion

Help Shape WIPmate

A gentle writing companion for works in progress.

WIPmate is a new project from A Whim Away—a writer-first tool designed to offer calm, compassionate support during the often uncertain middle stages of a writing project.

Whether working on a short story, novella, or a full-length manuscript, many writers experience moments of doubt, disconnection, or overwhelm. WIPmate is being built to meet those moments gently—with encouragement, reflection, and respect for each writer’s unique voice and process.

Before development continues, we’re inviting writers to share their experiences through a short survey.
